    That was a great video! The truck looks great, and was brilliantly designed and built by YOU! I'm sorry the boiler didn't work out for you. You sure pushed yourself hard to check it out. Thank you, Jonathan!

    At least it wasn't a total wasted trip. Those doors are beautiful.

    That's a good rollback. You amaze me with all the hard work you do. I smoked for 40 years and my breathing isn't the best. But I still manage to do what I can. I've been walking 6 miles everyday for over 2 months straight. Makes me feel so much better. Thanks for sharing everything you do. 👍🇺🇸

    I half expected you to run into Hobo Shoestring on your walk.

    • @waynespyker5731

      Ole Shoestring could have tagged a boiler door.

    Those doors will clean up beautifully! Plus that saves you having to build a railcar crane to go get the entire thing, heh heh.

    That boiler walk was a job for a 4-wheeler!
    I been saying: The "before" and "after" on that truck is going to be spectacular.
    Jonathan W, Master Fabricator!
    Glad you got those boiler doors. The crests on them are beautiful!

    It's always a good day when you put out a video. That truck you're building is looking great. You are one busy man! That was a heck of a walk. Walking on gravel like that is like walking on sand. It takes a lot more out of you. At least you picked up the doors of the boiler. I'm glad you are doing fine and take care.

  • @ironcladranchandforge7292
    @ironcladranchandforge7292 Před 3 měsíci +6

    I was just thinking about you last night Jonathan, and here's a video this morning. The truck is turning out great!! Glad you at least got the doors from that boiler.

    I'm 65 and I can ride my bicycle for 5, 10 or even further miles, without too much trouble.
    But if I try to walk more than two or three city blocks at a single go... ?
    My muscles are entirely unused to walking.
    My legs and feet get bent out of shape in a hurry !!
    I feel for you my friend.
    6 miles round-trip would have just about killed me !!!
    At our age...It's always uphill in both directions❤
    Good job saving those doors !!
    Really nice job on the truck !!

    Hi Jonathan, I wasn't worried about you I knew you were up to the same old thing you always are work work work work work. I am glad to see your face again though and watching new video. You know I have the same problem with my hips and lower back I work construction my whole life building homes and just recently went through a blood clot incident in my left leg that almost took my life, I'm glad that the Lord was watching after me I didn't lose my life and I didn't lose my leg either. Anyway my friend I am glad to see another video from you as far as our health goes we just got to keep on going❤

  • @nferraro222
    @nferraro222 Před 3 měsíci +5

    If I remember my stupid youth correctly, it's a lot easier to time your steps, on the tracks, than it is to walk on the stones. There's just that little downside of not paying attention and getting turned into dust, by a southbound SuperChief.

  • @xozindustries7451
    @xozindustries7451 Před 3 měsíci +1

  • @TimErickson-oc6sd
    @TimErickson-oc6sd Před 3 měsíci +4

    It's the shits to get old my left hip locks up on me a ll the time that causes t he low back to go. One thing I do to help it is buy new heels or better new shoes every 2-3 months really helps look at your heels if they are rounding over replace them

    @MacWhatley Před 3 měsíci

    I’m sure you know, Jonathan, Cunningham ironworks was only in business from 1885 to 1907. That means that boiler is one of the oldest I’ve ever seen. A real museum piece. At least you got the doors!

    @dougscott8161 Před 3 měsíci

    (Stopped just before 9:00) Judging from the surroundings of the boiler I would guess that it had been used for a logging operation. Now back to video: Not much left there . At least the doors will work out on one of your other boilers. Guess that's one way to pick up spare parts. God Bless and stay safe.
