Jonathan, it is such a pleasure to hear a man speak well of his wife. Too often these days I hear negative remarks or none at all when but for their help, our day would be one continous catastrophe. Now and then you see or hear of someone whom God has blessed and in that example, there you and "Mrs. Jonathan" are. What a wonderful, blessed life you both have. Your son still calls you Dad and not only needs, but wants your help. All things said, it is an example of what a "real Dad", a "Man of God" can accomplish by simply following the word of God and taking the time to see and appreciate not only the little things in life, but the gifts He has given you. Eternity awaits those who believe. Eternity with our family and loved ones with relationships closer than ever before. God must like steam engines too. He gave us the knowledge to build some that are really beautiful. And the sound! I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a few in heaven. Keep going brother and stay well.
I enjoy your projects, whichever ones you decide to work on. The steam engines are worth saving, they ran everthing at one point in time. Ignore the naysayers, we're with you partner. You're a talented mechanic and fabricator, thanks for your hard work.
Jonathan you have achieved so much in what seems like a short time - I can remember you collecting your first one now you have loads of engines - Stay safe
Johnathan you have made the perfect steam engine museum. Thanks for all your knowledge and dedication in preserving the historical past. A big thanks to your wonderful supportive wife. 😊👍👏
Thanks for giving your wonderful wife the credit she deserves. She's a great person as well. May make a trip there when you're ready to display these machines to the public.
2 videos in 2 days. Really good stuff! I've been watching your channel for about 4 years now and I've seen just about everything you've posted. Never have I been disappointed. Like I said before, thanks again for taking the time to save this history and to teach us all about it. I'll be sure to watch the next video on this one. Thanks for your time today and have yourselves a good week.
Good morning Jonathan! Glad to see you are ok and creating new video's. I am enjoying watching all the progress you are making with the Steam, I have a feeling it will not be long you will have the steam generator going and you will be able to power your entire shop and property. Love the content, it's summer now, you and the misses planning on doing any fishing? Stay safe, stay healthy, and thanks for taking us along.
You have an amazing collection of steam engines I think it’s amazing I love all this history you’re sharing here I truly appreciate this thanks for all your efforts here
Lizards are great people! I'm so happy to see Jonathan and Mrs. Winans getting so much work done. Jonathan if you did a video on watching paint dry I'd watch it because you would make it interesting!
Jonathan, I started watching you a couple years ago building rats rods and was impressed. Really enjoyed your videos. Now you absolutely blow me away with all this steam power you are collecting and saving. Absolutely in awe of your vast knowledge, skills and experience Appreciate your determination to save these treasures. Definitely enjoy and appreciate what you are doing these days. Keep on doing what you are doing. You are a natural born national treasure. Stay safe
Thanks for sharing your experience,opening up an old engine, that someone put together years ago! Thanks to your wife for being a helpful willing partner. A rare thing these days! Look forward to the next one.
You are truly blessed to have a wife that works with you and helps with these projects. I've been married 43 yrs. and she did help the first few years, but now she just gripes! I tend to agree with your thoughts on those rings, lack of proper lubrication. Just a thought on your boilers, if you are going to leave them sit for weeks with water in them, you should be thinking about using an oxygen scavenger feed water treatment. When water is heated, it drives out the oxygen. When it sits cold, the water draws the oxygen back in. This process accelerates the corrosion of the boiler metals. There are products for feed water treatment to cure this issue. On another note, My son and I just bought a traction engine that we have been after for 30 years. Now just have to get it hauled 250 miles home. Should scale in at 14 tons. That makes 5 engines we have, like yours, they need some tlc, but for bring over 100 years old, not bad! Keep up the good work and take care.
Nice Job Jonathan. Those Rings looks to be in perfect condition to be replaced. Just made new rings for my 1913 Beijer crude oil. That steam engine of yours is in a very good size, not to big or to small. Would love to have one, but here in Sweden almost all of them was scrapped when the crude oil engines came. Rare to find. I also love the original unpainted condition of your engine. /Richard
👍👌👏 Nice to meet you here, Sir! I told Johnathan W. about your channel respectively that you fabricated new cast iron piston rings. Best regards, luck and health.
Another interesting steam engine video. I'm getting a decent understanding of how they operate. Does Ninna enjoy the lizards? Thanks to Mrs. W. for her help. And as always, Meow to Ninja Catscan.
I am really enjoying all the steam things you are doing. I wish I could be there and help you. I live on the west coast. So I will just enjoy your videos 🙂
I recognize the crossarm you used for the header on your building.😊 You do amazing work with your wife helping. Edison is doing the happy dance in his grave seeing all the Engines being rebuilt.GREAT VIDEOS 😊
Love the steam engine video its nice to take a trip back to the past ans seeing the it was back then and what has become now let me say it was the old school way of life and you worked hard to get things done .....Thanks.
Really enjoy the steam engine videos. Over in my area of california we have brown lizards that are around 4-7inches in length including their tails. My dogs love chasing them, while I enjoy watching them do push-ups. It's great that your wife helps you out on the projects. One of the reasons I enjoy watching J.C smith projects as well.
Its amazing how those old steam engines Are. Back when things were built too last..Those rings are Thick on one side. Thats wild how they wore on one side. Great Video Sir. Thank You for sharing it with us..
Water is heavy, when the humidity is high the air is heavy with water and extra weight is bearing down on you. Nana is not shy and loves being in your vids. I really appreciate your old school manners, cheers mate
The lizard is an Anole. Pronounces "ae no lee". I grew up in Hawaii, when I was a little kit there weren't any, only skinks and geckos. But I think some that were bought as pets escaped and now they're all over the place. I don't live there any more but I go back to visit relatives once in a while.
Sure enjoy watching you repair these steam engines to runnig condition! Always wanted to find one to rebuild it myself ! We have you to watch keep it up!
Well Jon, now you have me all excited to see that 10 horse running. I believe you are going to have one of the most versatile engines out of all of the smaller engines. That thing will probably be able to run just about all of your wood working equipment and run really well just on that little boiler you have been using here lately. That larger boiler would go a long way to giving you all of the volume you would need to run all of that equipment. If that is the same boiler I think it is then it is a really good workhorse.
You are an amazing man Jonathon. You have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the many engines you have, from steam to the turbo era. Please find time (you must have loads of free time🤣🤣🤣) to write up a potted history of each engine/boiler, where made/bought/used etc. then you can have information plaques ready to be made once you open your collection to the public. As others have said keep your videos coming, the vast majority of your viewers appreciate your work far more than you'll ever realise! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Greetings from Scotland!!
Hi Jonathon; I really love the fact that there are people like you who are preserving our history! Also thanks for taking us along on the journey of preservation. It is great to know your wife is so supporting and involved. You guys will be able to get them all running and I hope to be around long enough to see the days. Right now its back to my table top machining and small steam engines. Also please keep up with the automotive content . steam or internal combustion is great either way as long as it is a piece of history.
Actually , Jonathan , we do have a lot of lizards up north . Skinks , & such . They are in the wild , mostly on rock formations . I've caught a few . They are fast , & they do bite . I just leave them alone & watch them forage the sides of stone outcroppings . Wonderous creatures , love them ! You definitely have a good woman , Jonathan ! I never hear you complain about her , or her about you ! Behind every good man , yup ! Is a real good woman ! Thank you , Mrs. W . ! For keeping this man alive , on track , incognito , & otherwise upright & breathing ! Life today would be very boring , without you 2 in it ! For Sure ! God bless & keep you all safe , & sound ! Looks good , Brother ! Keep the content coming , we do appreciate it . Take care , folks ! Love ya !
Jonathan , it seems not long ago you were dragging that bates engine out of the woods , now you have quite a collection ! Obviously you have been found to be a worthy caretaker of these old engines. That’s why they follow you home ! Gary from Raleigh
Started watching your videos when you were casting the motorcycle engine. Loved the Model A build with the old Cadillac flat head. You do some great projects. The steam engines are so cool.
Looks like You've got yourself a Fine engine there Jonathan. I've worked on many of them that is far worst, Thank God for the man that put the grease in it, he cared very much for this engine to just take the time to preserve it. Back years ago people cared for things and they took care of them. In todays time, it is a Throw away society which is a shame, but with a lot of this modern junk that is all it is good for. Thanks for your Video's We all Love Them, Keep'em Coming my Friend always look forward to the next one.... God bless & Godspeed
Sounds like you have a good wife, i do too. Mine helps me in the shop when I need it, and I enjoy having her help me out there. Mines a pretty good cook, she says she doesn’t like to cook but she’s always doing it, she’s a great baker and she likes doing that. Sometimes I clean up for her while she’s baking, it’s not too bad if you keep ahead of it, don’t wait till she’s done and have a huge pile of stuff to clean. We have to take care of the good ones, they’re worth their weight in cookies, that’s for sure!
I like watching whatever kind of video have on cars steam engines it doesn't matter I just love watching you work it's great to see somebody that's so intelligent.
Interesting engines and your passion for them is appreciated. Good to hear of your wife's involvement in the work and prep. We know from days gone by your fishing partnerships. Good stuff.
Very interesting. ! That's salvage for you , really float's my boat , it could have been easily scrapped , finding that grease in there I'd just repair it to good working condition age the new components to keep its age , fantastic job Jonathan !
Mrs. Jonathan is what a wife should be, a help mate for her husband. When a couple can work so well together and enjoys so many of the same things, that makes for wonderful marriage. The beauty is that Jonathan also takes the time to acknowledge all that she does.
It is amazing how well you are doing with the steam engines. Sure glad someone thought of packing it with grease to save it. You could never be 500 pounds because you move around too much. You make me tired just thinking of all the work you do in a day. Keep hydrated and when I used to work outside, I used to wet a paper towel and put it under my hat and it would keep my head cool for about a half hour and when I took it out it would be dry. I would wet it again and go on. That and a wet hand towel around my neck. Stay safe and glad your family is doing fine.
Question about that smaller boiler @4:13 in the video - how much radiant heat comes off of that when running at full bore? I ask because of how close it is to that wood shed - just curious is all! I love how far you've come on these projects - been watching since you dragged that Bates out of the woods and that massive boiler that went with it.
I never seen no rings worn like that either - I'm wondering what the grooves in the piston look like...the real surprise to me was the smooth cylinder bore and supposed to be a piece of a ring got broke off in there...forgot to mention how good that boiler looked in the last video - the shiny brass contrasts good against the flat black & l think you had mentioned in another video how your wife was doing the painting...l have to be flat out starving to eat anything l cook - you got it made...l know she helped out with the welding on the dragline boom but when you had to pull start the Hawk Studebaker - you sure had the right one driving the tow truck...l liked that video & l remember how that Packard motor was slow turning even with everything right...might want to get some grapefruit & put it in a blender/juicer with some seedless grapes - best thing for me (south Florida boy) to keep hydrated & don't have to keep drinking so much water...humidity is easier to tolerate when you can look over & see how good your garden's doing...maybe clear a little spot & get some more cucumbers going
Between your wife and Nana cat you have got a good crew. I was missing you on the Tube. Glad to see you posting videos again. Now I want a steam engine too.
Hi Jonathan well sir you just keep doing and filming what ever you want!! I'm sure I will be interested in whatever you do. God bless you and your wife with what ever you do! I love the clean content.....
Johnathan, we used castor oil as steam cylinder lubrication. Had mechanical lubricators (like a DELVAC), don't remember exact name. Steam powered pumps had two tied together. One for steam cylinder and one for slides and bearings. Bearing oil had barium in it, because it was compatible with the babbitt bearings and slides. Castor oil stuck to the metal better than petroleum based oils in steam cylinders.
Just finished watching your last steamers video ..2 in 1 day... I'm on over load 🤦♂️😂 Sorry to hear of your friend, sounded like he knew what you both needed before his time to go. 🤔 I can see it now..things to do in NC " Jonathan's steam engine museum"
Glad your wife loves to help you restore old industrial machines and what not! AS long as the castings are in decent shape, u don't need a foundry----seal repacking is do-able.
You beat me to it by using hydraulic cylinder rod. I was thinking that maybe you could sweet talk one of the local shops to donate a rod already threaded for you. Just let them know you will put a tag somewhere close that they helped out. I used a lot of turned, ground and polished stock where I used to work. I learned of a local shop and asked if they had any cutoff pieces that we could purchase. They were glad to let me have their ends and good used stuff after I sent them several good customers. Those keys on the crank are tapered keys. I'm sure you know about them but for others---a tapered key is slightly smaller in height on the tip and gets progressively bigger to the head. The shaft is a normal keyway but the keyway in the wheel must be tapered to match the key. You can't use a straight key as it will not stay put and fall out usually tearing up the keyway. Our looms were loaded with tapered keys. The looms were originally run from line shafts and may have been run by steam power at one time. The original drawings were inked in 1922. Nana cat seems a little put off by the steam engines. Of course any body would be put off if you were wearing a fur coat in the 100 degree heat we are having here, LOL! Take care of your health Jonathan and thank you Mrs. Jonathan for helping out. Cheers Terry
They're called Gib keys. New Holland farm equipment still uses them on haybine reels and large pulleys. If they get rusted in, they're a huge pain in the behind.
@@farmerbill6855 they don't need to be rusted to be a pain to get out.... LOL! We used to make them on our shaper. I still have the tapered "parallels" that I used to put under them so I wouldn't have to move the vice. The plant is gone along with all the looms. The market for expensive woven carpet collapsed and signed the death warrant for the last remaining C&K and Lansdowne looms that I know of. All went to the scrapper. Cheers Terry
Hey Jonathon, I really enjoy your videos. Do you still have the tow truck that you were building with the turntable? Have you done anymore with it? Just wondering. Keep on keeping on
I saw your wife on a video, when you all pulling the big steam engine out , probably the first one she was operating the wrecker bed, I don’t know why she want to hide her looks, keep up the good work

Camera shy? Well thank you for your help Mrs Johnathan! You do great work, especially in your painting!!
I think I heard that lizard say he could save you 15% or more on your steam engine insurance.
🤦♂️🙄😎😂
Yep I heard to
Did it have a British accent?
Yes I think it did
Jonathan, it is such a pleasure to hear a man speak well of his wife. Too often these days I hear negative remarks or none at all when but for their help, our day would be one continous catastrophe. Now and then you see or hear of someone whom God has blessed and in that example, there you and "Mrs. Jonathan" are. What a wonderful, blessed life you both have.

Glad to have you back ,you be careful and God bless
Glad to see you're able to get out in this heat & damn humidity to get a few things done. Just a little at a time. Stay well.
You have an amazing collection of steam engines I think it’s amazing I love all this history you’re sharing here I truly appreciate this thanks for all your efforts here
Well I was just wondering how your wife felt about all this. Really glad to hear she's "behind the scenes", making them look nice. 👌
Thanks Jonathan for another great video that's 3 this week I'm feeling spoiled lol please keep them coming best channel on UA-cam
Your enthusiasm and dedication in bringing these old machines back to life is priceless. I really enjoy viewing.
Just amazing Jonathan! And tell your wife she is such a great help also. Your doing a great job!
Lizards are great people! I'm so happy to see Jonathan and Mrs. Winans getting so much work done. Jonathan if you did a video on watching paint dry I'd watch it because you would make it interesting!
Jonathan, I started watching you a couple years ago building rats rods and was impressed. Really enjoyed your videos.
Now you absolutely blow me away with all this steam power you are collecting and saving.
Absolutely in awe of your vast knowledge, skills and experience
Appreciate your determination to save these treasures.
Definitely enjoy and appreciate what you are doing these days.
Keep on doing what you are doing.
You are a natural born national treasure.
Stay safe

👍👌👏 Nice to meet you here, Sir! I told Johnathan W. about your channel respectively that you fabricated new cast iron piston rings.
Best regards, luck and health.
Another interesting steam engine video. I'm getting a decent understanding of how they operate.
Does Ninna enjoy the lizards?
Thanks to Mrs. W. for her help.
And as always, Meow to Ninja Catscan.
I am really enjoying all the steam things you are doing. I wish I could be there and help you. I live on the west coast. So I will just enjoy your videos 🙂
I recognize the crossarm you used for the header on your building.😊 You do amazing work with your wife helping. Edison is doing the happy dance in his grave seeing all the Engines being rebuilt.GREAT VIDEOS
😊
Loving all the steam engine content, keep up the great work saving these amazing engines.
Love the steam engine video its nice to take a trip back to the past ans seeing the it was back then and what has become now let me say it was the old school way of life and you worked hard to get things done .....Thanks.
Love these old steam engines. So cool man.
I second that. 100%. 👍
Good to see the old engine again. You've come a long way in a short time my friend.
Really enjoy the steam engine videos. Over in my area of california we have brown lizards that are around 4-7inches in length including their tails. My dogs love chasing them, while I enjoy watching them do push-ups. It's great that your wife helps you out on the projects. One of the reasons I enjoy watching J.C smith projects as well.
Its amazing how those old steam engines Are. Back when things were built too last..Those rings are Thick on one side. Thats wild how they wore on one side. Great Video Sir. Thank You for sharing it with us..
Thanks for sharing Jonathan. Amazing how much all the work that has happened around the steam barn and all the new things that have happened. 👍💯
I appreciate showing the work and the guts. That's helpful in understanding what you have to put into all that machinery.
Water is heavy, when the humidity is high the air is heavy with water and extra weight is bearing down on you. Nana is not shy and loves being in your vids. I really appreciate your old school manners, cheers mate
I enjoy watching you steam videos. As a machinist I wish I lived closer so I could help you. Keep the videos coming when you can.
The lizard is an Anole. Pronounces "ae no lee". I grew up in Hawaii, when I was a little kit there weren't any, only skinks and geckos. But I think some that were bought as pets escaped and now they're all over the place. I don't live there any more but I go back to visit relatives once in a while.
Looks like you got lucky on that engine if that grease wasn't in there saving another one You're the man keep up the good work Love the videos
Sure enjoy watching you repair these steam engines to runnig condition! Always wanted to find one to rebuild it myself ! We have you to watch keep it up!
Thanks for sharing the history and operations of your steam engines!
A good man gets one good woman one good dog and one good kid , You are blessed my friend!!!!
Well Jon, now you have me all excited to see that 10 horse running. I believe you are going to have one of the most versatile engines out of all of the smaller engines.

I like watching whatever kind of video have on cars steam engines it doesn't matter I just love watching you work it's great to see somebody that's so intelligent.
Lookin good J.W. I like the fact that you can make your own parts and rebuild, nice collection of old steam engines.
Interesting engines and your passion for them is appreciated. Good to hear of your wife's involvement in the work and prep. We know from days gone by your fishing partnerships. Good stuff.
You're the most motivated hard working fellow I've ever seen. Looking good !
Very interesting. ! That's salvage for you , really float's my boat , it could have been easily scrapped , finding that grease in there I'd just repair it to good working condition age the new components to keep its age , fantastic job Jonathan !
Mrs. Jonathan is what a wife should be, a help mate for her husband. When a couple can work so well together and enjoys so many of the same things, that makes for wonderful marriage. The beauty is that Jonathan also takes the time to acknowledge all that she does.

I was missing you on the Tube.
Glad to see you posting videos again.
Now I want a steam engine too.
Wow two videos in one day awesome stuff , many thanks for these great videos!
Cool old motors and equipment. I enjoy learning along with you.
Thank you for the educational videos we always enjoy watching you !
God has Blessed you 🙏 🙌 ✨️ and your family
thanks for posting these....love these old motors
I came to your Chanel for metal detecting now staying for steam!! Thanks!!
Good morning and great day to you. Always wanted to get one of those power plants.
Hi Jonathan well sir you just keep doing and filming what ever you want!! I'm sure I will be interested in whatever you do. God bless you and your wife with what ever you do! I love the clean content.....
Johnathan, we used castor oil as steam cylinder lubrication. Had mechanical lubricators (like a DELVAC), don't remember exact name. Steam powered pumps had two tied together. One for steam cylinder and one for slides and bearings. Bearing oil had barium in it, because it was compatible with the babbitt bearings and slides. Castor oil stuck to the metal better than petroleum based oils in steam cylinders.
Just finished watching your last steamers video ..2 in 1 day... I'm on over load 🤦♂️😂
Sorry to hear of your friend, sounded like he knew what you both needed before his time to go.
🤔 I can see it now..things to do in NC
" Jonathan's steam engine museum"
Another interesting video Jonathan, Keep them coming 👍

WAVIN a hand !!
Fascinating. I'll watch everything you put out. Keep going.
Got plenty of those lizards here in Florida. My dog's a "great" lizard hunter.😎
Really enjoying the steam engines.
I'm digging these steam videos. Very, very cool. Thank you ever so much.
Best regards from Indiana.
I always enjoy your videos Jonathan
I do not care what you work on it's just fun to see you figure it all out. You just take care of your health and hope your family stays well also!
Hey Jonathan, I'm really enjoying the steam engine education
Jonathan! Keep them coming.. Like them very much
Good find, nice looking engine. Be careful in the heat. I live on the Georgia Florida line, and it can be brutal.
Glad your wife loves to help you restore old industrial machines and what not! AS long as the castings are in decent shape, u don't need a foundry----seal repacking is do-able.
Thank you Jonathan. Neat old engine.
Another great video keep up the great work.
I remember an old movie....The African Queen....
would love to see a boat built similar to that and it would be fun too!
You are a mechanical genius!
U seem in good spirits j u ur wife great tell her thanks for sharing u and her fun with all us grateful people it’s a cool video all the time 😎
A great video
Long time subscriber, love every video. Maybe you could build a steam car for the automotive enthusiast fans, keep up the great work
You beat me to it by using hydraulic cylinder rod. I was thinking that maybe you could sweet talk one of the local shops to donate a rod already threaded for you. Just let them know you will put a tag somewhere close that they helped out. I used a lot of turned, ground and polished stock where I used to work. I learned of a local shop and asked if they had any cutoff pieces that we could purchase. They were glad to let me have their ends and good used stuff after I sent them several good customers.
Those keys on the crank are tapered keys. I'm sure you know about them but for others---a tapered key is slightly smaller in height on the tip and gets progressively bigger to the head. The shaft is a normal keyway but the keyway in the wheel must be tapered to match the key. You can't use a straight key as it will not stay put and fall out usually tearing up the keyway. Our looms were loaded with tapered keys. The looms were originally run from line shafts and may have been run by steam power at one time. The original drawings were inked in 1922.
Nana cat seems a little put off by the steam engines. Of course any body would be put off if you were wearing a fur coat in the 100 degree heat we are having here, LOL!
Take care of your health Jonathan and thank you Mrs. Jonathan for helping out.
Cheers
Terry
They're called Gib keys. New Holland farm equipment still uses them on haybine reels and large pulleys. If they get rusted in, they're a huge pain in the behind.
@@farmerbill6855 they don't need to be rusted to be a pain to get out.... LOL!
We used to make them on our shaper. I still have the tapered "parallels" that I used to put under them so I wouldn't have to move the vice.
The plant is gone along with all the looms. The market for expensive woven carpet collapsed and signed the death warrant for the last remaining C&K and Lansdowne looms that I know of. All went to the scrapper.
Cheers
Terry
I love your show. thank you for sharing your awesome toys
I just watched a very good video on "Yesterdays Machinery" channel about making piston rings. I am sure you can do it too.
Good video, keep up the good work, good women are few and far between.
Glad to hear you have an excellent partner Jonathon. Say Hi to her!
Good to see and hear you happy doing what you love.
Hey Jonathon, I really enjoy your videos. Do you still have the tow truck that you were building with the turntable? Have you done anymore with it? Just wondering. Keep on keeping on
Keep awesome going 👌
Awsome 👌
Another great video keep the steam videos coming. If I could ask you a question what video software do you use to edit your video.
I saw your wife on a video, when you all pulling the big steam engine out , probably the first one she was operating the wrecker bed, I don’t know why she want to hide her looks, keep up the good work
