Steampunk Steam Engine Side Table

Inspired by my last piece which resembled a train car, this steam engine side table is a favorite of my kids. It’s made of a great hodgepodge of old stuff as you can see. There are too many to list but a couple of my favorite parts are the boiler tank which is an O2 tank from a WWII B17 bomber, and the headlamp which is made from a piece of oak from a pallet board, a bit of copper and a big , rusty washer that my wife rescued from the American Flats ore processing plant in Virginia City Nevada. The plant was demolished and removed a few years ago. It was a magnificent ruin that will be fondly remembered.
