I believe every mechanical engineering student should have an opportunity to work with old equipment like this. What an education! Thank you.

It’s interesting how yesterdays tools become today’s art.

It’s crazy how dangerous machinery used to be. Basically all of them doubled as maiming-machines. Explains why a lot of the old men in my industrial town tended to miss a few digits!

And a hot bath! Great use of all the attributes of old machinery.

Here in the States, we call those type of shingles, "shakes". Id it's made from sawed wood, it's a shingle here, if it's made from split wood we call it a shake.

Been looking forward to part three. Great resurrection of a historic machine. And nice seeing it doing what it was designed for! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

Interesting shingle mill. The various shingle mills I've seen are all saw based and produce a tapered shingle. Very cool to see a different way of shingle production. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant to see the engine doing real work for a change 👏 and love that you just had to get in the barrel 😁😁

Gday, absolutely awesome to see this engine running and making shingles, I had a laugh when you jumped in the barrel, great video as always mate, Cheers

Also very useful if you want to make Sauerkraut for the whole village ˆ.ˆ

I absolutely love the sound of that beautiful old engine and I could listen to it all day. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Spectacular job Brother 👍🏻 👏 hello from Detroit Michigan USA

Take a bath in the coolant water, Hahahaha ! I had to laugh out loud when i see your dress flying ! Wonderful video and i am exited about the roof work coming up on your channel. Greetings from germany

Just came across this series. It's quite interesting and very well made. I love seeing old machinery being put through it's paces by a skilled presenter. Thank you!

Love to see you do a roofing project with those shingles! Great video!

Absolutely love watching all these old engines running.. I have to agree with you about the repair a lot of times people have it repaired all cleaned up ground down and you never know it was repaired honestly I think it's much cooler to see repairs cuz some of the repairs for done when the machine was fairly new and it's lasted for 50 to 90 years and still works just shows a proper repair will last forever.

I am very impressed! You have taught me a lot. I especially enjoyed watching you braze cast iron. That is a skill I would love to learn. That shingle machine looks scary dangerous. Glad you kept all your fingers so you can keep making great stuff.

Love it Richard. Greetings from Ireland.

Glad to see a young man with passion for yesteryear engineering

Fantastic work my friend! I love seeing younger generations taking as much an interest in old engines and farm equipment as you do, and it is ever better that you are a content creator on UKposts! Thankyou for sharing your passion with us and that you for sharing the great engineering that paved the road for the modern technology that we have today! This will go a long way to not only inspiring new generations of engineers but also bring them down to earth a little, as it is always a strong temptation for younger generations to have a superiority complex towards the older generations, these machines show the ingenuity of our forefathers to build engines that could make life easier and improve efficiency!

You've been the inspiration for blacksmiths and metal workers to build their own hot bulb engins from the raw materials. Way to go and keep it going!

Very interesting. Thank you.

I really enjoyed the 3 part series. From Australia 🇦🇺

very good, keeps an old man in the uk very happy,Thanks.

Wonderful not only to see this beauty of a hit and miss running again, but to see you making parts for it and keeping it maintained. Greetings from Romania ❤️🇷🇴

Great job on bringing that old engine back to life! I just found your channel a few days ago, and since then I've been binge-watching your videos. Great stuff!

Very nice, great to see the old equipment getting a new lease on life. Ty for sharing

great job reworking this old engine it was really cool seeing it run and you got some shingles out of it too....not to mention a warm bath. lol

Absolutely beautiful job from start to finish, especially just love the shingle machine what nice shingle's it makes for something that old you could make enough shingle's for a roof in one day. Cheers from Australia

Hi, it is a good thing you are young and fit to start the engine haha. Many thanks for all your uploads, from Nr Liverpool UK.

I love watching you work on,start and get these old machines running! Absolutely fascinating!👍 thanks for letting us watch you and taking us along for the ride!😁

Always a Better day when you Post these Vids 👍🏻

Love watching these things being put to work instead of just idling. So cool

Really like the engine and the shingle cutter.

Incredibly interesting watching you revive these old engines. Keep up the fine work. Thanks for taking the viewers along.

Beautiful

Excellent video of older technology. Beautiful job of brazing that crack. That shingle maker turns out a nice product but a bit of inattention could really shorten your reach. That was a lot of work just to get a hot soak. Well done.

Awesome video! You are very talented! Love seeing these old engines brought back to life, and used.

Wow! Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing this with us and keeping these historic engines running! Watching in the U.S. regards

Hi Richard. Thank you for another great video, I had no idea that's how wooden roof tiles were made, shingles I think you called them. Love that engine she's perfect now cant wait for the next instalment. Take care.

Thank you Richard for yet another great video of bring historic machines back to life and showing their operation… I was particularly interested in your shingle making machine. I’ve not previously seen this quite interesting version. I’ve seen many vertical splitting and sawing shingle making machines, but not this type. Very nice version, indeed. I really enjoy your interesting and informative videos. Please continue making them and educating all of us about these interesting and historic machines, their operation and use. Thank you, again from Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Edward Belledin

Thank you very much for this trio of videos. I must admit that I have no idea of engineering, engines or mechanics, but I find watching repairs soothing. What I really like about your videos is that you take the time to explain about what and why you are doing things, so you might turn me into an engineer yet 🙂

Great story! I always was fascinated by technology that can be repaired with simple tools & craftsmanship. No windows updates needed :)

That was great. It's nice to see this machine come back to life with the work you've put into it.I bet more than a few guys took a bath in a barrel like that when the boss wasn't looking! I really enjoy what you do here and getting to see this stuff work once again. There is something about the sound of these old engines, it's just soothing to listen to them work.

Awesome job Richard! Fantastic to see these old machines and how they were used. Seems like it is a really well balanced machine; on your close ups there seems to be minimal vibration.

I worked as a farm hand for 15 years or so. Nothing old like you have but still love anything mechanical. Pretty amazing work you do. All the best, appreciate the videos.

Lovely 3 part video on this cool engine, thank you sir!

Great job!! You've done a great job saving a part of history. Look forward to the next installment.

I'm hopping by from the WayOutWest Workshop channel. This machine is fantastic! I love the old engine. You just love to see it do some work after such a long time.

Nice to have the engine working again.👍 Old shingle mills here in Nova Scotia, which I have seen set up as exhibits used a saw blade and and a clamping device to feed the wood into the saw. A little less dangerous! Love the bit of humour at the end, with you in the barrel! 😊

I love the sound of "Tändkulemotor" as it reminds me of old fishingboats.

That is the coolest job, thank you for sharing your work! I'm impressed!

What a great job you have done on the engine and wow that shingles machine is a real finger chopping tool! Great to see 👍

Absolutely amazing. I really love the concept of separation of tools and engines. A tool that only needs an engine to be attached and then starts to work. I would love to see if you can connect the engine to some other useful tools

What a great lesson in building a sauna! Love your channel dude! Great work you do. Thanks for your time.

What a great episode! I think that it sounds appreciative for all of your time and effort. You have done a great job indeed, thank you for sharing this with us 👍

Underbart att se att det finns dom som förstår att rädda vår svenska industri historia. Underbar video.. Såklart man ska ta vara på varmvattnet till ett härligt bad. 👍🏻💚

If your recording device or editing/post-production setup is capable of external audio/mic, I think that would catapult your production quality to exactly where it needs to be. Everything else about your content has been great, thank you for sharing!

Very nice to see the old engine doing work! Thanks

what a fun project to watch. Thank you very much for sharing it.

Should use a shaped pusher block to push things onto that shingle blade for safety

Thanks Richard! I wish i had that engine. All the best, Jenko.

Just LOVE the bathtub sequence🤟 Keep the videos rolling 😉

What a nice old machine and it still runs

Nice engine!! The shingle cutter is excellent!!

First! Another great video. If you run it regularly, it should be broken in in 10 years or so!

A superb series, Richard, and many thanks for all the effort you put into making it, as well as showing us all the 'how' and 'why' of the processes you went through to get this old lady up and running again! Enjoy your hot-tub, mate!!

Really enjoyed this series. I look foward to seeing your other videos. Sincere thanks. Subscribed. Cheers from sunny Florida, USA

This was an amazing series! I love how you made the piston rings, and I am astounded that you had a good injector for it! Wow! The only thing that bothered me was that the belt was flopping around. An idler pulley is a good safety investment! I had to laugh at the bath. Fun! This was amazing!

Again a very interesting video always a pleasure to watch, i for my self own several semi diesel / hot bulb engines too. But please do something to increase the audio quality / voice volume, this would help a lot.

Fascinating stuff, sir. Many thanks. 👍

i absolutely loved your three vids with this machine. especially i felt in love with the mechanism to keep constant speed. thank you very much for sharing these three videos on waking up this good old machine.

If you twist the belt by half a turn it will stop it from "slapping" about and run smoother. It won't matter which way the machine runs.

Kul att se detta. När jag var liten på 80 talet så använde vi vårt gamla sågverk med en råoljemotor ibland, fast oftast med traktor och remskiva. Bra filmer du gör!!

Loved the entire upload. Thanks for the great share!

Very cool , to it all working and running a machine... fantastic !

Love your videos those 2 stroke engines are like the McDonald ML back here in Australia. They are about 60 to 70hp semi diesels my mate has one interesting engines.

Today when a person claims to be a "Mechanic", it means they plug a car into a computer which tells him which part to replace. You sir a truely a mechanic plus machinist, welder and who knows, tool and die make? Loved watching you work. You are amazing. It's like you have the skills and knowledge of a man 4 times your age. Outstanding!

I have done this all of my life and I'm glad to see someone else doing it that knows what they're doing along with the machining thank you

Good job,thanks for sharing.

Great video and really nice engine! Watching you work that shingle cutter kind of give me the willies though. Wouldn't it be a fairly simple solution to put a wooden hinged arm over the blade area that you can use as a lever to push the workpiece down? it might take some tinkering with the geometry to keep the log from turning or flying out, but if this beast is to be used for days (shingling a whole roof) it might be worth it.

Wonderful progress. Thank you for sharing. Im currently rewiring an irritating modern generator. It's nice to take time off to enjoy older technology.

Best video yet on your channel, absolutely superb!

Love your videos. Learning so much!

Hi, audio is very difficult to ear. It's just on one channel and very low. GREAT video btw!

Nice work with making piston rings that actually seal, Richard! I imagine it will get easier to start after you run it for a while and get them seated in. Any idea what the approximate compression ratio is on that engine? It doesn't seem to have a lot of compression for a hot bulb semi-diesel.😉

Nice work! What a great teacher you are,and the barrel bath was hilarious, thank you.

It is fantastic to see these ancient machines and how you respectfully handle them.

Great videos. Please make them more watchable by getting a decent mic.

Thar she blows!!!!

A wonderful presentation, sir ... well thought out, easy to understand, and great fun to watch. Thank you very much.

Hello from small town Monett in Southwest Missouri USA. I am so glad I stumbled across your channel. I have gone back and watched almost every one of your videos. I love seeing your equipment and how it is different from what we have in America , other than the Massey Fergusson, it looks a lot like one my dad used to have. Very impressed with your skills, creativity and fearlessness in tearing down the old machines. Keep the content coming. Love you back. Eric.

Great episodes. Watched all 3 this afternoon. Amazing machinist work 🍻🇨🇦

I am watching at 0130 in New Jersey in the colonies. very impressed with the excellence of your work, especially the making of the piston rings!! Thanks so very much for your great teaching methods. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

It does my heart good to see these old engines restored and not end up as scrap.

WOW. Fantastic useful machinery brought back to life. This is a great channel .

Respect for your love for old technology. I used to be a ships engineer and sometimes had to use old technology to make spare parts for old equipment (pre 1950’s). It was always fun and very satisfying.

This is a great video. You have such class. Awesome job bringing these behemoths back to life! It's super cool

Brilliant , loved all three 'episodes' .thanks

I’m a new subscriber and enjoyed these three videos very much! Thanks for your thoughtful and informative approach. Looking forward to what you do next. Greetings from Tasmania!
