Step 4Drill Hole in Boiler for the Smoke Stack and Mark Center for Headlight

Drill Hole in Boiler for the Smoke Stack and Mark Center for Headlight


1. With spade bit (wide enough to secure the candle holder size you chose, I used 3/4 inch) drill shallow hole to cradle smoke stack (which is a candle-holder). This holes makes it seem as though a high-precision engineer melded the separate parts of the steam engine in a planned way.

2. In center at pilot hole made bny space bit, drill a hole for the size peg you chose to secure smoke stack. You see the processes and parts in the photo in UNASSEMBLED condition.

3. Set parts aside for later. Keep a steel or plastic dish around to keep your parts safe.

NOTE -- Don't worry that I repeated some of these instructions at a later step. I am indeed in nearly complete control of this Instructable. Soon I will have total management over it, and it will, finally, submit to my will. Anyway, some holes can be drilled whenever, although not all parts can be attached any time we damn well please; that's the important part; at times, the universe's time-line does rule our actions.
