We NEED to TALK! Channel Direction, Project Updates, and Shop Tour! 

I absolutely love this channel! No need to make a second channel man, we like all equipment in one great place!

Keep it all on 1 channel. Your titles should let your audience/ subscribers know if they want to watch or not . Keep up the good work, glad you're back 👍

This channel is an absolute gem. Your energy, attitude and commentary is excellent and draws me to your channel... keep up the great work...

Great to see you back! You never need to worry about us leaving - just happy whenever you're able to put something up. Thanks.

Anything you post will be fine. Variety is the spice of life. Not posting a video is more harmful to your stats than posting an update when you need a break.

You are creating a museum of the Industrial Revolution. It’s a worthy endeavor for education and entertainment. A couple thoughts to ponder. I hope you have a good inventory system of all your projects so you can keep track of the most important displays of your museum. Also an apprentice program so young people can learn how these revolutionary inventions work, and develop their own restoration skills so we don’t just see all that beautiful cast iron crumble into scale. And yes, I know how ADD can drive a project or mothball it forever. I’ve been there too. Love your videos. Best of Luck! Dan Rogers

Here's my $.02, keep it all one channel, but keep the new and old subjects in separate videos (which I think you already plan on). As far the order of projects I'd like to see: #1 is the Aussie side shaft. I'm with your Dad on that one! #2 would be the screen cooled Famous. They're neat engines and I think it would be a valuable video for those of us in the hobby. #3 is the Aeromotor. It sounds like that would be a quick little project and I think an in depth discussion of the process you took to get the new head made would be useful. Besides, those are just super cool and unusual engines. I've mentioned this before, but I like the way you include an entire project on one video. While it may make for long videos, it makes for better continuity. If someone doesn't have time to watch the entire video, they can always stop and later pick up where they had to quit watching.

Glad to see you back 😊. It’s not that we are weird it’s that we have an old iron disease! I’m in NE Ohio and have been infected for over fifty years now 😳. Keep it all on one channel is my vote. Keep collecting because they aren’t making machines like this anymore!!

Great channel . 73yo here sold all my engines about 10 years ago. Just found your channel this year. Now i have to get back into engines again. My wife says thanks😂.

“Everyone needs a fire siren” I’m not a Mopar guy, but I’d like to find/own a Chrysler Victory Siren (air raid siren) to be the real cool factor.

So glad your back! I particularly love the antique engine content. I'd say use your own best judgement on how to distribute your content.

The Ford buzz coil with the tube is to power an electric fence. When the ball makes contact it will power a wire that then will magnetized the other end and make it pulse.

Keep it all in one channel. If it moves and makes noise, I like it.

Tell me you watch "TheZachLife" channel? He's a guy who makes a living from old oil wells ( and some newer stuff ). It's a fascinating channel, and it just so happens that he has at least a couple of rod line pump jacks. Unfortunately, they're not driven from a central power unit anymore, but they are still operated by their original rod lines that his grandpa installed decades ago. Also, quite interestingly, there's "small engine mechanic" who has a very similar looking "Oil Well Supply Co" engine, which he was restoring to life a little over a year ago. I have no idea why, but I just find this stuff fascinating. Oh, and you're not alone when it comes to stalled projects - we have here a tractor rebuild which began about twenty years ago, and is still in bits. Even a couple of two wheeled tractors and a few engines, though nothing as old as yours - If it comes to that there's a multitude of generators still awaiting attention. You're a fellow after my own heart, that's for sure!

I've visited Durango, CO, so I've ridden the Durango-Silverton RR. Do you live the area? OH, I like seeing these old engines, and what you'll be doing with them! Yes, watch Matt all the time.

You and I have a similar case of being “overly ambitious” as far as “projects” go. I have just last month admitted defeat due to my “advanced age” and I’m in the process of selling my Gas Engine collection. It’s a sad day.

I love your old windcharger. I grew up in the Texas panhandle and all the little farm houses had a windcharger. The wind blows 24/7 across those high plains. My grandpa and I worked on lots of windmills and windchargers. We had oil wells and the big and miss engines. I love getting to see the machines again!

Interesting projects coming up! For what it's worth, I'm fine with all the stuff on one single channel.

I would love to see the skid steer rebuild. I like all the content! Glad your back buddy👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You really can't beat Suzuki quality. That Samurai on tracks would be an off roading beast!!

I’ll watch your videos no mater what you do for channels. I have enjoyed all your videos! Can’t wait for the F B M motor I have one that’s ready to go except for me not understanding the mag and wether it’s any good or can be fixed.

Go for the newer projects on this channel , nothing wrong with a little variety, winters coming need something to occupy our time with👍

Good to see you back! Keep it all on one channel. I like the mix of content. You remind me of me with too many projects, so little time. I have a model 37E KR Wilson 50-ton press made in 1949, almost identical to yours that was originally electric over hydraulic. That one you have is a pretty decent looking unit. It looks like maybe part of the power unit may be original to the press, but not sure about it. Mine isn't original, but it has a nice old dome top Blackhawk 10k psi unit made in 1953 that works extremely well for power. I went through my press last winter and fixed everything and repainted. Even took the press bed off and threw it on the mill so it's nice and flat now. You might watch Keith Rucker on one of his latest videos he re-powers his 60-ton press with an electric pump.

Little off topic, Silverton is a great little town. Been there maybe a dozen or so times while doing the alpine loop and the hardrock they do there.

I really enjoy your channel and I’ve been subscribed for less than a year, your idea of pre 30’s engines is a good idea, I’d like to see content on cast iron repair for the engines

Glad ur back let’s see that Australian engine run. That thing looks really cool.

I'm a new subscriber. I learn a lot from watching fix-it/restoration/will it run videos. I hope to build a garage later on and do some work of my own. Thank you for posting.

Keep everything in the same channel. People can watch or skip as they wish. I like the idea of variation in content

It would be fine with me if you included any of you projects on this channel. You peaked my interest of hit and miss motors so much I went out and bought one. I got it to run but I want to fine some of the original parts that are missing so I can get it back to original as possible.

I'm good with anything you post....... Love the channel

That coil is setup to use as an electric fencer.

Awesome content keep it up a mixture of old and new would be awesome stay on one channel

I have a variety of interest, and I think most people do. So if you want to bundle all of your activities on one channel, that is OK with me.

Post everything here. Newer equipment repair is good for me. If you post stuff of no interest it does not hurt anything.

A great thanks for showing the work area along with the project. Keep moving around and have fun I'll be here to view and might need some parts from you. :)

No need for a second channel. Just keep it all in one. Good to see you back!

Hey like your channel, the jacks you have for your central power one is over pull and the other is under pull. I have a bunch of that stuff and I love it

Just stick with the one channel for now I'd say. Never understood what's up with the different channels from the same creator. Anyway, I do enjoy the relaxed atmosphere on this channel, and when it has old engines I'll watch it 🙂 Keep it up !

Enjoy watching your channel! I love working with old engines. I have a could hit and miss and would love to mess with more of them but around here they are all bought up and the ones available are either in non salvageable shape or priced at a I don’t really want to sell it price. If you could put some values on your stuff so we know what things are worth. Also repairs like cast welding cost and fabrication cost. Would be valuable information

Put the Pattin on a presentation base to aggravate Kyle. 😂 Keep the newer stuff mixed in on this channel. It's part of what keeps your content unique.

Jonathanw puts everything on the one Channel people will watch what they want

Keep it all together!

I watch a you tube called wonderhussy. She visits many old sites out west. She comes across old engines that were used at mining sites. It's a shame to see these engines just rusting out in the elements. Maybe someone out west could save this old historic machinery.

Anything video you post i will watch......Thanks my friend for the update video 👍 Old Shoe🇺🇸

Great stuff cant wait

Did the steam engine you speak of come out of Union wv? Also that coil with the tube and ball is a fence charger the ball fires the points then rolls back up the tube to pulse the fence it would be an awesome demonstration

You seem to have great contacts for buying or manufacturing parts. Do you have any tips on where to track down a set of big end shell bearings for a Ruston Hornsby PB9 engine?

Keep it all on one channel

Do what you have to do I love old machines..

Great channel I’m interested in knowing more about the red diesel engine on the floor under the pallet rack is it a Cummins?

Leave it all on one channel. For me, that would be great.Leo from upstate ny

You remind me of Fred Dibnah great channel.

Nice long video. Great work

Where are you located I am in Western Pennsylvania... love the channel and the content I have a 8 horsepower Witte engine that I need a valve box for any help would be appreciated

What happened to the Portland podcast? Was listening to the podcasts on my long drive out to Portland and thought it’d be interesting to hear your thoughts from Portland this year.

Who did your printing and pattern work for the head?

I want one channel multiple subjects

Have you watched David Richards channel steam powered shop, anyway I say keep it all on one channel so you have content and you can separate it later if you want. Samurai's are awesome! Have one with some mods

You're on RU-vid. Must be a billionaire....😂 Enjoy the content brother, it's appreciated.

How do you set the timing on braker Monitor 1 1/4 HP.

There is easily 500 videos here to do. Busy guy.

I am good if you keep all your videos in one channel.

Electric fencer

If it's mechanical, old, unique, off the wall bizarre, are it just irritates traditionalist just because it does, and are is highly functional then I'm with you.. Second channel will consume more time than if you just do whatever on the original channel, and when it's all said and done. It's your channel your choice as to what, and how you wish to spend your time. That said most people interested in the old engines you're into, are mechanically minded, and have a varied taste for lack of a better word, interest in most anything mechanical, but tend to like the simple times of machinery without the space age involvement that just over complicates things of this nature. At least that's how I view such things. I also suffering from AADDHD, with the highly questionable Adult attached to the front side, along with all the other add hyperactive disorder onto the end for good measure, although it's somewhat calmed down at 66 years of age, and having abused my body with the self named King Kong syndrome thinking that I was big enough to be indestructible in my younger years, only to learn that eventually that time wears even the largest of mountains down to dust eventually. So long way around to say, you feel it's worth your time and, then I can either choose to watch it, or go tinker with my own list of long overdue projects, that probably won't be completed by myself, but hopefully whoever picks up the pieces will be further along due to the parts and pieces I've acquired over the time I've had them thinking that one day once it was all gathered I'd finally get it done. Lol, ain't a snowballs chance in a pizza oven honestly. Yet one never knows until it's over that isn't going to get everything done, at least by his hands. If that helps you out, are just muddied the water that much more, then I've at least been consistent in everything else in my life at always seeming to at least accomplish that much. LOL, remember there's one thing about time that people tend to forget, and that's if you don't use it, you're never going to get it back. Because once it's gone, it's gone, ain't no second chance with thar aspect of life.

keep it simple don't start another channel .
