I set myself up a mini machine shop recently, with lathe and mill. This is the first major project I completed. It is a 3 cylinder radial steam engine. (operated on compressed air).

Now all you have to do is hook a generator to it and you can make electric with all that extra firewood you're going to have.....

Good plan! And nice design. Did you add an oiler for the air when you ran it?
