    Everything you've been doing on the yard with all the steam engines is coming out absolutely amazing I cannot wait till it's all done and set up which will never be all done like any project car you're always going to be tweaking and working on it but you are doing amazing job saving history Jonathan. Thank you truly appreciate it!!

    As someone that has witnessed the safety-related accidents of 2 other people, I agree with Jonathan's opinion that you can't expect employers to keep you safe, especially if they try to cut corners. On the positive side, it's really cool to see these new projects working, putting smiles on children and adults. Thanks Jonathan!

    I worked one time pointing up a stone chimney on a slate roof. Slippery than snot. I was tied on to the chimney and it saved me many times on that job.

    @davewilson1591 2 года назад +25

    At least someone saved these engines as static displays until you could get a hold of them and make them run again! Work your magic. Running is always better, but static is gooder than scrappin'.

    If you make a platform the size of a pallet and then anchor it to the forks of the fork lift, you can work off of it nice and safe. I worked with my father in a warehouse where the forklift he used, he actually went up with the forks and the controls were right there and you could either attach the platform and work off it or just detach it and pick up pallets with the forks. Just my 2 cents from the peanut gallery. I love what you are doing with the steam engines. They are amazing to watch move on their own. Stay safe and keep up the great work.

    It's kind of comforting listening to these behemoth engines run, like listening to Abom79's big old shaper run.
    I miss the in depth nature of the videos from years ago, but DEFINITELY understand why you do your videos this way now, and still greatly appreciate them. Fascinating stuff.

    All the work you've been doing is amazing the buildings are coming out amazing. And it's really nice that while you're doing all these work that you don't have a bunch of keyboard warriors in here telling you how you're building this building wrong how you're doing this structure or roof or whatever wrong you don't see that negativity you see the positivity of people admiring the work that you've done and might throw in a little hint or trick that they know nothing but pure positivity.

    A carriage-driven rip-saw sawmill driven by a steam engine would be nice. Maybe one that cut really wide boards, up to four feet? Then you have a specialty lumber product craftsmen will come for from hundreds of miles away. Nice job getting those steam engines puffing away.

    I think the idea behind OSHA is to employers from making employees do something that is not safe or will create an unsafe environment that you have to work in or loose your job, I certainly don't expect my employer to be responsible for me keeping my fingers arms legs and feet or eyes, but don't expect me to in a room with unhealthy air and do nothing about it

  • @billmoran3812
    @billmoran3812 2 года назад +6

    I remember those merry go rounds from the 50’s. I think they were made even earlier probably late 40’s.
    I agree with with your thoughts on safety gear. I fell twice off of steel structure while working in a power plant. If you have ever fallen in a safety harness, you know yes, it will save your life, but it will hurt like hell hanging in those straps! I realized that I was getting too old and unsteady to be climbing like I used to.
    Without the safety gear, I wouldn’t have been doing what I knew I shouldn’t have.

It hurt lungs bad for nearly 2 years and got out pool took him to hospital get check out! They said lucky got him could drown and water could filled up lungs or heart attack to ! It was scary also peak roof was not nice too work with too and but okay since then ! Glad was there also he is too and got medical attention quickly too! He been doing well and carefull since too! But yes that engine so cool Johnathan W and nice running not bad at all! Hope seen the other one running sometime too and love your ideas for You Tube videos always!

The weird noise your CCC engine was making kinda sounded like me first thing in the morning before my first cup of tea. Strange thing, how static machinery looks so dead but once things start moving it takes on a whole life of it's own. Kind regards from the UK.

    It might be out of time or whatever the proper words are to say but how many elephants would it take to stop that engine now? Its got a lot of power like us greenhorns have not a clue about for sure. I would say from the time of the first brick to the bags of cement that you have the right to see some results of this huge undertaking. congrats Jonathan on a huge handful of piece and parts, the back breaking labor. One fine machine
