I have two 15-yr-old 'apprentices', now competent in basic lathe, mill and bench work. They're looking for a kit or kits to make a simple steam-engine (probably oscillating) plus boiler plant. Something they can make in a year of evening classes + home workshop time. All suggestions very welcome!

Many thanks.

Send them on the SMEE Polly course?

Highly recommended.

This book by Tubal Cain has 'Polly' in it (on the cover) as used for the SMEE course. £4.96 from MHS., surely worth a punt?
