[A steamcycle built in 1970 based on an article published in a 1918 issue of The Model Engineer and Electrician magazine][link]. According to this page, the author of the original article *never actually built the bike*. See also: [vid].

Dovetails nicely with [The Case for Working with Your Hands][hands], which is making the rounds today.
