Years ago you were dragging that big old boiler out of the mud, I questioned why. You responded with a plan. I said "Good luck" or something and never in a million years did I imagine you'd go this far. What a collection you've put together in a few short years. Unbelievable really but anybody that built a bulldozer for grand youngin's Christmas, is capable of most anything. Keep up the good work, I'll keep watching & liking. 👍
I was watching Scott over at ColdWarMotors yesterday and he fired up the "Summer Challenge" Studebaker and Ford from last Summer, and that reminded me I haven't seen a video from you in awhile. Glad to see you're still here!
My grandfather used steam engines to drill deep wells in the fifties. 12000 feet deep. You and him would get along well. Thank you Jonathan. You are a very capable young man and I enjoy your videos very much
Thanks for the update and including us in your projects. I wish I had your enthusiasm and drive. By including us, my hope is that one of your viewers remembers that they have some old parts that grandpa saved down in the shed and is just what you are looking for.
Excellent video Johnathan W :) also nice see updated too & like your videos always super nice and interesting too ! Also very cool information you shared about these engines too and so cool!
That's about the time I started watching , it's one thing to see a trained engineer make something but a self taught man is twice as impressive . Both in metal and wood .
Missed you, badly! If this is an "osculating engine" then it can also be called a "kissing engine". Osculation is a word used in the mathematics of (Differential) Analytic Geometry where two surfaces contact at three or more points. So look for where and when surfaces in that valve box may touch during the steam intake and exhaust cycle. Thanks so much for all that you do!!!
And here I thought oscillating engines were only in hobby stuff! Never seen one that big. Very cool piece, though I don't envy you figuring out the valve gear on it.
I have unfortunately missed a few videos of yours, but I am glad to see you still bringing these awesome machines back to life. StirlingKit recently reached out for me to do a review on their model engines, and I had to go for the Steam Engine, I freaking love it, thank you for helping Dad, I, and Anna confirm we need a larger steam engine hahaha
Another great video! Oscillating engines are common for low price models, may be worth a look to see how simple the intake and exhaust works on them, just a face on the side of the cylinder rubbing on a fixed face with the supply and exhaust pipes. Most of them will run either direction. Check the timing of the eccentric to the crank, it might be used to set the lead to make the engine start and run in the right direction.
Absolutely love your honesty and bravery to tackle these kinds of projects,I wish the kid would have stuck around from the car building videos,hopefully he is on the right path,I like his attitude to get into things and learn,I don’t know the back story but hope he is doing well.bless ya for the video.
Hey there sir! I think it isn’t the wrong rod I think it’s partly pulled out, I think the key way is for the pinch bolts on the valve the rod goes into the other side of the steam chest. And yes you are correct it is a lever that attaches to the valve rod on the eccentric, the length is based on the eccentric throw and the angle of the cylinder. Thanks for all your awesome videos!
Those steam engines are awesome. And your knowledge of them is incredible but that truck wow so cool lifted square body with big tires. Please give us more.
I remember the square body project. Glad to see it finished. Jonathan could you give us an update on your classic air cooled car that you replaced the piston on? Long time viewer. 😊
GE, for their first production hermetic refrigeration compressor (it's actually considered semi-hermetic since it's a bolted dome), used an oscillating cylinder design. The valving was accomplished using a lapped plate sealed by oil, and there are ports in the cylinder and the plate for suction and exhaust. Sulphur dioxide was used as the refrigerant.
I am always happy to see that you posted a video. I enjoy watching them. That is an interesting steam engine. That pick up truck is what I call a pants splitter getting into it. I am looking forward to the next one.
Looks like the rod is correct but not in far enough the rocking motion of the cylinder would be part of the slide motion of the valve gear , it's very cool , it's very like an early marine engine
Just saying I hope you made it through the storms and hope your safe and the family are ok. Hope you didnt recieve any damage to any thing.Take Care and Gid Bless there Hand.
Not too sure how many videos I have missed as I took some time for other things. Do you still tow rigs from the many wrecks on the roads? I kind of thought you quit doing refurbishing old cars and trucks which is my reason for watching videos. I never spent too much time around steam engines, seen a few in mining camps in the upper cascade mountains as a young kid.. that is back in the fifties Always happy to hear your voice as it draws me to the videos, I do enjoy watching any you make.... remember the motorcycle engine you poured yourself and made it run... a big highlight in your videos
When you get an opportunity, explain what the two dash pots on the Corless valves do. I understand how the valves and basic linkage function but I can't understand what the engineers accomplished with adding dash pots to the system.
Great to see you back doing videos. I haven't seen a steam or car rescue for so long I'm getting DT's. I don't remember the square body. What kind of engine did you put in it?
Derek from Vice grip garage bought a model a ford It needs babit bearing I mentioned in a couple of his videos that he Should contact you If You can contact him It would definitely up your subscribers quite a bit.I imagine
Just yesterday I looked up your channel to make sure I didn't miss a video recently because it's been so long since your last post. I was kind of worried!! Anyway, great stuff Jonathan!!
Welcome back definitely miss your videos 👍👍👍👍
Good to see you are still kicking along with steam equipment.

Missed you, hope your doing well physically and health 👍
I was watching Scott over at ColdWarMotors yesterday and he fired up the "Summer Challenge" Studebaker and Ford from last Summer, and that reminded me I haven't seen a video from you in awhile. Glad to see you're still here!
Definitely breathing better bro,glad to hear this.Very noticeable in your videos,bless ya bro.
Hi jonathàn thanks alot always good seeing what you find an progress on your collection. Cheers mate🇦🇺

Great to see you post something , JW ! Nice progress report .
I admire your passion for old steam engines. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video Johnathan W :) also nice see updated too & like your videos always super nice and interesting too ! Also very cool information you shared about these engines too and so cool!
Good to see your videos again. Stay well.
🙌 Hooray 🙌 he's back!
Awesome. Nice engines and nice truck. You never disapoint, well done.
Refreshing video reaching back further in time! I am amazed at your energy and dedication!
Love the oscillating steam engine! Can't wait to see more on that Jonathan.
Not to mention building his own motorcycle from scratch, motor and all!
That's about the time I started watching , it's one thing to see a trained engineer make something but a self taught man is twice as impressive . Both in metal and wood .

Impressive what you have created with your steam collection and it keeps growing. Love it
Nice find on the old steam engine and update on the other ones also. I’m sure your wife will need a step ladder to get in the pickup…lol . Thanks 👍👍
Cool old motor. I want to see this one running with its tilting cylinder!
Thanks for the update!
Love the steam stuff!
Another great video!

Glad to hear your update. Keep em coming! Kind of miss you working on Studebakers, but steam engines are really cool.
Man, I'm.
Glad to be watching this video I was worried about you
I never thought I would be interested in this stuff, but here I am. This is cool!
Absolutely love your honesty and bravery to tackle these kinds of projects,I wish the kid would have stuck around from the car building videos,hopefully he is on the right path,I like his attitude to get into things and learn,I don’t know the back story but hope he is doing well.bless ya for the video.
I remember you working on that square body. Good times.
Wow jonathan you have been really busy and what great find!!
Thankyou for keeping history alive
Good to hear your voice again Jonathan ❤️🦦😎
I would guess the length of the arm would correspond to the rotational axis point ...Good to see you back.
Good to hear from you

Thanks for the video Jonathan.
Thanks for the update! Life is better with Jonny!
as always i watch your videos i learn something. keep em coming!
Miss your adventures. ✌️😎❤️👍
You have been very busy , great job , !!!
I'm missing your shoulders it's been about a month I really enjoy watching your steam engines and your mechanics you're a genius
Johnathan can make and or fix almost anything!😎
Mechanical genius
I have seen small model version of these, but never a life size. Very cool!
Those steam engines are awesome. And your knowledge of them is incredible but that truck wow so cool lifted square body with big tires. Please give us more.
THANKS fer postin lad !! ALWAYS look forward to yer posts & updates EH !!
WAVIN a hand !!
Awesome always thanks
I remember the square body project. Glad to see it finished. Jonathan could you give us an update on your classic air cooled car that you replaced the piston on? Long time viewer. 😊
Hi James. That air cooled car is a Franklin.
I can’t wait I just love your steam engine vids Johnathan 😊
Thanks for another great video Johnathan. I always look forward to seeing them. 👍👍👍 Nice looking Chevy pickup 😊
Thanks Jonathan.
That oscillating envine will be neat to see run. Hope ya keep up the videos👍
As always, another great video Jonathan....
GE, for their first production hermetic refrigeration compressor (it's actually considered semi-hermetic since it's a bolted dome), used an oscillating cylinder design. The valving was accomplished using a lapped plate sealed by oil, and there are ports in the cylinder and the plate for suction and exhaust. Sulphur dioxide was used as the refrigerant.
Those set screws correspond with the keyway on that shaft which is probably a control valve.
Oh I have nissed you! Hope you and your family are all doing well!!!
Missed your video's and mechanical insight a great deal 👍
I am always happy to see that you posted a video. I enjoy watching them. That is an interesting steam engine. That pick up truck is what I call a pants splitter getting into it. I am looking forward to the next one.
missed your videos.your a wealth of knowledge
Thank s for sharing )
Thank you for posting an update. I have missed your videos.
Love this guy , great info
nice to see you fixed that old truck its been a min i wont to know what you did with that old car you was building the race car
Great to see you and hear you Jonathan,glad to see things are going well…
Good work!😀
Miss your videos 🙏all is good brother
Looks like the rod is correct but not in far enough the rocking motion of the cylinder would be part of the slide motion of the valve gear , it's very cool , it's very like an early marine engine
good video we all miss your videos
Been waiting and waiting for another video Jonathan!! Thank you
Just saying I hope you made it through the storms and hope your safe and the family are ok. Hope you didnt recieve any damage to any thing.Take Care and Gid Bless there Hand.
You may find the eccentric is just to reduce the self running action of the valve gear
Interesting stuff as always!
Good to see another square body back on the road. And you did not lower it )
Where are you Johnathan ?!
Are you ok ?
Hey brother haven’t heard anything from you in while with that storm and all just wondering about you and your family buddy.
Thanks for the video!
Missed you Johnathan more car stuff please
Cool find!
Not too sure how many videos I have missed as I took some time for other things. Do you still tow rigs from the many wrecks on the roads?

That would have a slotted leaver with a pinch bolt for adjusting the timing .
hi.great video.keep up with the good work.greetings from finland
Been missing the videos. It’s great day when you upload. Hope all is well
When you get an opportunity, explain what the two dash pots on the Corless valves do. I understand how the valves and basic linkage function but I can't understand what the engineers accomplished with adding dash pots to the system.
I'm already winterizing
It would be neat to visit your museum, I'm not too far away in S.C.
Another great video
Great to see you back doing videos. I haven't seen a steam or car rescue for so long I'm getting DT's. I don't remember the square body. What kind of engine did you put in it?
Dewey brothers in Goldsborough NC.Were well known for there oscillating steam locomotives, as well as the stationary engines.
Happy belated birthday jon
Fascinating.
I got a notification for Delray's video about your Cruise-In, and here you are with an update two days later...I guess that's a precursor of sorts 👍
Derek from Vice grip garage bought a model a ford
It needs babit bearing
I mentioned in a couple of his videos that he Should contact you
If You can contact him
It would definitely up your subscribers quite a bit.I imagine
It's a great idea. I can't imagine another TH-camr that is more deserving of more subscribers than Jonathan. This is has to be my favorite channel.
@@crherniman That's my whole plan. If he has a couple 100000 subscribers, he could afford to make more videos.
glad you dropped a line I was concerned
We want roadster pickup videos!
Just yesterday I looked up your channel to make sure I didn't miss a video recently because it's been so long since your last post. I was kind of worried!! Anyway, great stuff Jonathan!!
Happy your back 😂
Queation: whatever happened to the Camper Car? Did I miss the finish? Love the vids.....
be safe and God Bless....
Awesome!
It looks like that old oscillating engine would have a critical valve timing ... synchronizing the timing with the rocking of the cylinder.
