Jonathan, I have a pressure vessel that I think would go with the theme of your steam collection. It's about 12 ft tall and about 4 to 4 and a half ft in diameter. It is riveted constructed and was used as an air pressure tank. I see no rust holes in it and it seems to be made of approximately 5/16 inch thick steel. If you would happen to be interested in it let me know how to contact you with some pictures. If not I have no use for it so it will go to scrap which I really hate to do. It by the way is designed to stand vertically.
Thanks for sharing, Jonathan! That is a wonderful use of the old cart! I noticed the oil smoke on the firebox, and came up with the same solution (a shield)...but I wasn't gonna say anything! (smile) I knew you'd be on top of it! Brilliant job! Bro Harry
Nice little self-contained power unit there on that cart! Like you said: "All we need is a boat." It'd really be nice to know where this engine was first used. Same with the boiler, at the back of some workshop in the pre-electricity days, fired up and powering woodworking tools or whatever. Very cool!
That is a nice 'old timey' portable power cart Jonathan, all you need is water and wood and the little engine can turn a saw, a drill, whatever you want.
Many ppl, myself included on here have said it more then once. If Jonathan can't build it or fix it...nobody can. A steam whistle connected to the pressure release valve would be a sure way to know it has popped 🤔🤣 Your building an impressive museum
Why am I seeing a slightly smaller version of "The African Queen" boat in your future? What a great display that would make! As always, informative and entertaining!
The little marine engine , really seems to run , and, looks great. The whole system is a very innovative use of old stuff. I dig it! Keep at it,,,Izzy Strong,,,,
Dear Johnathan W. 👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always! This little cute steam engine looks and runs simply beautiful! Additionally I love nearly anything that is green. The whole mobile contraption is very interesting and could be used for showing children in schools etc. how steam engines work. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
This morning I was thinking that I hoped you were OK and I was greeted with this video. You have done a wonderful job on that little engine. It looks and runs nice. I loved how you figured out the stack size. Thanks for showing how math works. I was thinking the same thing as you when you had the engine going. All you need is a boat. That is a real nice set up there. With a couple of pulleys and a belt you could have a steam powered cart and drive it around your property. Thanks again for showing us what is capable with what you have. You made my day.
Three pieces of what to others would be junk or scrap made Good again!! 👍👍 Still the Best channel on youtube!! 👍👍NO Nonsense NO trickery just a Hard working Honest guy making a living!!👍👍
I like that little engine. You did great with the restoration of both boiler and engine. We had no doubt that ole JW would junk-whisper up all the misc items to put it all together and make it perform. She ticks like a Swiss watch. Keep on steamin! Bye! 🥸👍💥💨✅
Amazing how your getting all the steam stuff working the only thing missing is a steam driven car that would certainly top off your steam collection!!!!!
@henryg683 I always thought it would be cool for him to build a steam-powered forklift ;) That is something that I have never seen done before, and you can never have too many forklifts :)
I was thinking he needs an old Traction Engine (small steam tractor) to tinker with but I would really love to see a Road Locomotive get a Nana "catscan" but they probably are very expensive and hard to come by in 2023 and they are extremely heavy. I watched videos of a guy a few years ago who restored / reconstructed the King Kong of Road Locomotives....the legendary CASE 150, the most powerful Road Locomotive ever built and I was then and I still am now "in complete awe" of that beast.
Looks good , runs great! Amazing to think that was the motive power for a boat. It is surprising where they used steam engines. But I guess, when that is all you have, that's what you use. Thanks for showing us this neat little engine.
Drill a 3/16 or 1/4 hole in the pipe cap and put a lose fit cotter pin thru the top and hook a chine to it and ty it to the tank. That will solve 2 things you won't lose the cap and won't have a vacuum in the tank. Thank you for your time Jonathon. Paul out in Oregon.
This is a amazing what you’ve done here I’ve watched every video you ever put out with these steam engines and it always amazes me what you’re talents are with making everything you need to make these old steam engine work ❤ as always i love the video content you put out keep up the good videos I’m always looking for the videos you post. Cheers brother
LOVE IT EH !!! Thanks fer postin. GREAT video !!! Right there I see a mini power plant er a motor fer somethin like the African Queen !! Putt putt puttin down coastal waters. Oh & YA !! I saw the water level HA HA HA WAVIN a hand lad !!
You might want to consider finding one or two of the small injectors made for the live steam model market. Superscale Locomotive's economy model and equivalent offerings from Eccentric Engineer would work nicely for this little boiler. I once had a little boiler similar to yours. The charm of hand pumping water quickly wore off.
Controlling the water level on that boiler will be hard because it has such a small diameter. I’d run the water line a bit lower. That relief valve has so much capacity compared to the steaming rate it barely cracks. Nice little setup, just a bit quirky. Good demonstration of why short squat vertical boilers are better than tall thin ones.
Great job rebuilding that little engine and getting the boiler running. I think you're the guy to ask for help to put in a new hot water heater... I'm guessing you could probably do it blindfolded... 🙂
What would that little engine have been running Johnathan? It looks like a toy it’s so small compared to all the others in your collection, looking at the before and after pictures of it you’d never tell it’s the same engine, great job you did restoring this little Gem. Thanks for the video 🤙🤙
You might find the sight glass might shatter under pressure after a few cycles. Had a boiler myself, max pressure of 7.5 bar that kept shattering sight glasses found out the blowdown valve was a couple of mils out after a rebuild
Jonathan, I think that your stack is more likely stainless steel or maybe aluminum. It just doesn't have the look of galvanized steel, which has a gray color and would tend to flake when you bent it into an oval. The shroud or shield for your boiler definitely looks like galvanized steel. Only some stainless steels will be magnetic, so you can check with a magnet for galvanized, which will definitely draw a magnet. If you have a magnet stick, and you cannot scratch away the galvanized surface, then it might be magnetic stainless steel.
Hi, Jonathan, well you've got that little boiler and the steam engine looking and running nicely. Are you now going to finally built your steam power hot rod? I think that's what every body's been waiting for with baited breath. I see Nanna hiding in the background. God Bless and stay safe.
A perfect setup really not much need for lots of watching after she's up n running . You could take that to schools for showing how our nation started its industrial revolution.
Jonathan, Are you going to Denton this year? If so, what days? I would love to come down and see you. I am still looking for you to open your own steam park. Thanks.
I remember as a kid, my cousin had a mini steam engine that burned sugar cubes to generate steam. I was wondering if maybe you would build something along these lines for your Grandsons Christmas.
An interesting setup , Jonathan ! could you run the condensate pipe from the top of the engine round to the top of the water tank to save a bit of water ?
Hi Jonathan look this up you are halfway there with the clean smoke let see what you can do with it just think how much power you can make it will be fun to see. (A wood gas generator is a gasification unit which converts timber or charcoal into wood gas, a producer gas consisting of atmospheric nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, traces of methane, and other gases, which - after cooling and filtering - can then be used to power an internal combustion engine or for other purposes. Historically wood gas generators were often mounted on vehicles, but present studies and developments concentrate mostly on stationary plants.) Almost forgot what would happen if you used the exhaust to preheat the water tank I think it would raise the efficiency.
Some hydraulic hose on the exhaust or the pressure relief and you've got yourself an excellent and portable steam cleaner to clean and degrease engines, metal parts and such. Put on a nozzle and it will even strip rust if you hook up to the pressure relief and keep a good fire going to keep the pressure up.
I didn't know if it was gone a run buddy youare Jonathan W Go ride the videos from before what you've already made forged and built hack the motorcycle alone was just total amazement or the lawn mower engine that ran without a gas tank
That is pretty cool all you need is a old boat to install it in. How would you like to go fishing in a boat with a steam engine. You never have to worry about the price of gasoline again. And wood is everywere along the creeks and rivers.
Getting about time for you and Mrs. W to take us back out fishing, besides Nana needs some fresh fish.
You just proved the value of geometry.
Jonathan, I have a pressure vessel that I think would go with the theme of your steam collection. It's about 12 ft tall and about 4 to 4 and a half ft in diameter.

What part of the country are you in not interested in tank just helping with its journey if I can

Great to see that you had such a successful first run of this boiler and engine 👍 A great little combination!
Nice little self-contained power unit there on that cart! Like you said: "All we need is a boat."
It'd really be nice to know where this engine was first used.
Same with the boiler, at the back of some workshop in the pre-electricity days, fired up and powering woodworking tools or whatever.
Very cool!
That is a nice 'old timey' portable power cart Jonathan, all you need is water and wood and the little engine can turn a saw, a drill, whatever you want.
🗿 power inverter, deep cycle battery and gm alt, any you have a generator 👍👍
You certainly revived this engine Jonathan-sharp looking unit! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️🔧🇺🇸
Many ppl, myself included on here have said it more then once.
If Jonathan can't build it or fix it...nobody can.
A steam whistle connected to the pressure release valve would be a sure way to know it has popped 🤔🤣

You are breathing better. Still neater than shit you quit smoking.

So great to see this old engine run again. Awesome!
WILEY COYOTE would be impressed Jonathan, because you're a SUPER GENIUS!
Fantastic running little engine and boiler. Thanks for sharing.

That's a polite pressure relief valve.
Really sweet little setup. Nice job!
Hard to believe that engine went from looking so bad to looking so good. Nice job!
I’m really glad I found your channel. Really cool you give us the chance to learn about these systems
👍 his rollback build and wrecker builds are awesome 🗿imo
I like that little engine. You did great with the restoration of both boiler and engine. We had no doubt that ole JW would junk-whisper up all the misc items to put it all together and make it perform. She ticks like a Swiss watch. Keep on steamin! Bye! 🥸👍💥💨✅
excellent job on the boiler and that little marine engine. That engine looks so delicate but it truly is very efficient. Good job Jonathan!
The green back is taking a beating🗿 you have heard chyna quit buying our steel?🌘🌒 Sir you do these units proud👍👍 Thanks for sharing Johnathan

Looks good , runs great! Amazing to think that was the motive power for a boat. It is surprising where they used steam engines. But I guess, when that is all you have, that's what you use. Thanks for showing us this neat little engine.
Excellent, Jon. Very good from start to end. It's interesting to see the technology of a bygone age. All the best, Mart in England.
super nice - I need that in my well house with a generator head on it for when the power goes out
That tank looks like an old fire extinguisher. Great work on making a fully portable power source.
Ahh! There is a local fire station that has a similar chemical fire extinguisher on big wheels. Will take a look at it next time I'm by there,
That was awesome, Jonathan! Jonathan W - *THE Creative Cobbler* ! 😉 Fantastic combination! Thanks for the content! Really enjoyable viewing!
So amazed how you make things work and you are saving parts of history love watching your videos thanks for sharing them.
Drill a 3/16 or 1/4 hole in the pipe cap and put a lose fit cotter pin thru the top and hook a chine to it and ty it to the tank. That will solve 2 things you won't lose the cap and won't have a vacuum in the tank. Thank you for your time Jonathon. Paul out in Oregon.
Nice little setup. Everything together on a cart. 👍

For someone who loves steam engines and old cars, I expect to see a steam powered car soon.
Awesome video as always !! Thank you for sharing
Bet the old girl is glad to be back working
Thanks for sharing your passion , knowledge and hard work with us
I would like to shake your hand one day
J W, its exciting to see all your different working engins😊
Just luv that you bring those steam engines back to life from the small to the large.
LOVE IT EH !!!
Thanks fer postin. GREAT video !!! Right there I see a mini power plant er a motor fer somethin like the African Queen !! Putt putt puttin down coastal waters. Oh & YA !! I saw the water level HA HA HA
WAVIN a hand lad !!
Nicely done! I was surprised how smooth the little engine ran.

Hi jonathan great to see it all come together an run . Cheers mate🇦🇺

Nice little setup, just a bit quirky. Good demonstration of why short squat vertical boilers are better than tall thin ones.
What a great little set up. Looks so cool with the giant flywheel in the background.
Little engine turned out lovely❤
Great work Jon!!
Wonderful! Now you need a 30' river boat to put this set-up in. great job. thanks!!
The African Queen II
Nice little set up,Great job JB.
Great job rebuilding that little engine and getting the boiler running. I think you're the guy to ask for help to put in a new hot water heater... I'm guessing you could probably do it blindfolded... 🙂
Excellent video Johnathan W :) also like how works and very good work too ! Super Cool and Amazing too !

Canoe or very small boat.
Great setup! Nice little engine. Thank You for sharing this! I really enjoyed it!
That things is amazing..nice setup! Great to see you saving all this old iron
That engine reminds me of the steam boat in the movie THE AFRICAN QUEEN .
Just waiting for the steam engine to be dropped into the Honda. Outstanding!
WOW! WOW! WOW!! Great video! Thanks, Jonathan!
Thanks Jonathan stay safe.
Nice thanks for sharing...
Nice little system. Just big enough to run an air conditioner.
That was kool. haven't been seeing to many of these lately. missed em. Be well.
You might find the sight glass might shatter under pressure after a few cycles.
Had a boiler myself, max pressure of 7.5 bar that kept shattering sight glasses found out the blowdown valve was a couple of mils out after a rebuild
All you realy need is a boat,what a beautiful set up. Thank you for this video great fun.
looks good, impressive setup and testing!
Thank you for the video. Lots of interesting stuff in the background.
Cute little engine. Nice display setup to take places. What could be run off the engine that would look cool? Corn sheller? Cream separator?
I don't understand why people give you crap about the steam stuff you do because I think it's neat!
Jonathan, I think that your stack is more likely stainless steel or maybe aluminum. It just doesn't have the look of galvanized steel, which has a gray color and would tend to flake when you bent it into an oval.

Great job as always, Jonathan. Good to see you back with another video. The only thing left is to get a Nana cat approval.
24:37 I am telling you, the African Queen, Mr. Jonathan Allnut! Fit some air tanks to the bow and go down the Cape Fear looking for the Louisa.
Great looking little engine. I have been keeping an eye open locally to see if someone has one of these they are willing to part with.
Amazing talent you have.😊
A perfect setup really not much need for lots of watching after she's up n running . You could take that to schools for showing how our nation started its industrial revolution.
Looks good keep up the good work keep them videos coming I enjoy watching them
Nice combination of parts/pieces!!!
that little engine is going gangbusters!
Very cool Jonathan!
Jonathan, Are you going to Denton this year? If so, what days? I would love to come down and see you. I am still looking for you to open your own steam park. Thanks.
great video and resurrection on the boiler and engine
Nice small display unit. The cart and tank looks like an old fire extinguisher cart.
Very cool. Thanks Jonathan 👍🇺🇸
I remember as a kid, my cousin had a mini steam engine that burned sugar cubes to generate steam. I was wondering if maybe you would build something along these lines for your Grandsons Christmas.
Lovely work as always!
cool engine ! i had to pause on the blue can to see if it was a bud light , it wasn't , ha ha ha
Yeeeehaw a Jonathan w video thank you sir
That pressure valve sounds just like a Morning Dove.
What a cool set-up!
Neat! That tired little engine turned out well, as did the whole setup.
Thanks, and Meow to Ninja Catscan.
Congrats Jonathan!!!
Very cool. You have such great toys! LOL
An interesting setup , Jonathan ! could you run the condensate pipe from the top of the engine round to the top of the water tank to save a bit of water ?
Should work. That steel tank is so big that it should radiate enough heat, as was done with early gas engines.
Hi Jonathan look this up you are halfway there with the clean smoke let see what you can do with it just think how much power you can make it will be fun to see.

Almost forgot what would happen if you used the exhaust to preheat the water tank I think it would raise the efficiency.
It would definitely be nice to see this engine in a launch.....💨✌
Great video.
