It’s Just Cool: Your Own Live Steam Robot

By Chuck Cage

Ok, I realize this isn’t technically a tool, but I just know that all you live steam guys out there would love this.  My Dad always wanted to take the time to build his own mini steam-powered locomotive, but he never got around to it.

Hell, I think this toy rocks for a couple of reasons: 1) you’ve gotta love steam powered anything, 2) it’s educational, and 3) it’s chock full of all the stuff today’s toys are missing: anything that might, maybe, under some possible circumstances hurt you. 

Could you get burned by this?  Yes.  Could you spill hot water on your crotch and maybe never have children?  Possibly.  So hey, be careful — and maybe learn something in the process.
