Unless you are a coded welder you will be best off buying the boiler, Bell Boilers are good Jason Edited By JasonB on 06/09/2010 18:24:32 Edited By JasonB on 06/09/2010 18:25:31 Edited By JasonB on 06/09/2010 18:27:46

I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER AND BLACKSMITH FOR 35 YEARS. ALSO A BOILER MAKER FOR 11 YEARS 1975-86, WORKING ON FULL SIZE ENGINES AND MODELS, I HAVE A WELL EQUIPPED MACHINE SHOP AND FORGE. SO I HOPE I WON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TROUBLE IF I DECIDE TO MAKE THE 6" BURRELL, BUT IT'S GOOD TO DISCUSS IT WITH SOME ONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE. RICHARD
