Welcome to Andrew's Engineering!

Thanks for stopping by. I have designed and built a number of things that cover a broad range from mechanical to electrical. Besides machining, I also do research relating to alternative energy & fuels, but there's no limit as to the type of projects I work on. You'll find some of the projects here on this site to give you an idea what I do.

Latest News & Current Projects

Since the economy is slow and things have slowed down here as well, we've have taken advantage of the extra time to clean up the shop, machines, and make repairs. We've also just added a smaller LeBlond lathe to the shop.

Andrew's Engineering builds a shelled corn burner! If you're interested in using renewable fuels for heating or other uses, then check out this bottom feed burn pot designed to burn shelled corn. It can be used to fire hot air furnaces, boilers, and other uses where you need heat. Click on the image for more details.

Today's hot air wood furnaces haven't changed much. They lag behind in technology. Our prototype is an attempt to make the hot air wood furnace easier to manage and practical, by developing an advanced electronic digital control panel and better air control. This allows the furnace to take care of itself operating on a thermostat, and all you have to do is feed it! Click on the image for more details.

Here's the hydrosonic pump we built from scratch. It heats water using cavitation created by a spinning rotor. All parts were made here in the shop. Click on the image for more details.

Here's the Andrew's Engineering gas fired lead furnace for melting lead and bullet casting. You've seen the electric furnaces, but have you ever seen a propane fired lead pot? Click on the image for more details.

Here's the new portable forge we built to go with our drilling rig! No more digging holes in the ground... click on the image to go to the drilling page for more details.

Here's my LP powered Miller Big 40. It's always nice to have portable welding power! Click on the image for more details.

Here's a simple relay controlled traffic light controller using three time delay relays. Click on the image for more details.

I've converted my truck to run on LPG (propane). This is a dual fuel setup I did on a fuel injected engine and it can run on either fuel with the flip of a switch! Click on the image for more details. Updated 11/02/2006

If you're in the drilling industry, a well or borehole camera is a very usefull tool to have. We built this one for taking a look inside the borehole of water wells. Click on the picture for more details.

Here's a hot tube ignition we built for an engine. Electrical type ignition took the place of these long ago, but hey it still comes in handy, is simple and it works. Click on the picture for more details.

After being in engineering & development for over 2 months now things are getting close being finished. This is not just any oil burner. In this picture this burner is burning waste motor oil. With the rising cost of heating fuels somethings got to give, so we've developed our own waste oil burner. Updated 09/22/2006

Here's the Andrew's Engineering steam traction engine. This is an aproximate 1/4 scale traction engine we designed and built. This was a project I started planning a few years before it finally materialized. This engine is fired with wood or coal. You can find more info on this engine on the engines page.
