NOW we know why we haven't been seeing videos lately. Jonathan is so busy with all of his projects plus his wrecker service that he just doesn't have the spare time to edit and post much. Just glad to see him happy and doing so well.

Luv his channel though I do miss the 1 day builds with friends & the 4x4 wrecker was looking amazing up till something like chapter 22 then it vanished never to be mentioned again. Think Jonathans just enjoying living his life now. Filming & editing takes alot of time & don't think he enjoys it as much any longer, kinda seems like he does it more for us fans now a days, though I could be wrong . .

@giggitygiggitygoofg6069 Jonathan has said a few times over the years that he started to record stuff not so much to be able to post stuff on KZbin for views, but rather he does it for his family and friends, especially his grandson.

I will always be with you and your steam program. Dave up in NY has a wonderful steam shop I watched every show at leased twice but he is not on much now seams to have retired in FLa. I know it's a hell of a lot of thankless hard work but if someone like you and Dave dose not save some of this stuff future generations will never see them inn action. I live on the west coast and they did not out here ti'll late 1800s and when they did it was farming not manufacturing if they needed power they had water every where. Keep'em coming Paul

Looks like the new truck is up to the task, and looks good doing it. That museum has a job ahead of them in repairing that flywheel, but the upside is that the engine is home after a century. I wonder if anything built today will last half as long, or even find anyone interested in it. Thanks for the update!👍

Could you believe BMW once had a prototype combined gas and steam engine? It used a heat exchanger to remove heat from the exhaust and cooling water and used that to boil water to turn a steam turbine. On a 1.8L engine the heat recovery turbine generated about 14hp which was coupled (I believe hydraulically) directly into the transmission.
