Title: steam boat that took 2 minutes. !!!!!
Post by: The_Wisecrack on October 19, 2008, 02:00:28 PM

i had a spare row boat i made for my pirates a long time ago. and i was sitting staring at a piece of meal i had found in my dads toolbox, thats when it hit me, the piece was perfect for the chimney of a small steam boat, so i stuck it into the boat with super glue and glue on some steel wool to the chimney and stretched it out, this is what i got.

Interesting. Looks like an old chuck key for a power drill.

I hope your dad doesn't need it back, they are quite useful things...  lol

Definitely a chuck key for a drill.  Nice how the rod fits perfectly in the boat.

You use them to open and close the jaws at the business end of a power drill to change drillbits. I think you can get replacements from most hardware stores, but it could depend on the type of drill it's for how easy that would be.

Oops! I am sure he won't mind when you explain to him exactly why you are using it...

Nice idea. It looks the part.

You should be able to, but beware not all are of the same size!
