Came for the railroad but stayed for the interesting projects you have.
Glad to see you back to your old engine setup, Tim! Speaking of - it's been a long time since we've seen anything about your railroad (particularly the compressed-air locomotive). 😂
Please build more railway and related stuff! You could start a few fundraisers like "raising x EUR to build y" and see where it goes.. I'd be glad to participate for the railway
Whenever I'm browsing your channel, first thing I check out is the field railway playlist to find an update... Can't tell why, but it's kinda soothing to see and hear the wood wagons going up and down the track 😄 And I'm hoping for a long "Tornado special" soon! Anyway, your vids gave me the courage to just follow through with my own DIY projects. Just making things happen, and not being taken down by any setback that's coming along sooner or later... You've become one of my primary addresses on CZcams. Thanks for all the good stuff, man!
Not just here for the railway! Please organising your work shop and setting it up would be an amazing series!
Please longer videos!
I'm here for anything you want to post. Don't understand folks who are here just for a particular thing... variety is the spice of life, or something.
Thanks for another great video!
Never a dull moment!
Love the videos, shame about the weather and garden.
Your technical drawings are most impressive!
I’ll watch anything you put out! :-)
Came for the railway stayed because l love the mad scientist ways of problem solving keep the vids coming 😁
Tim,
I get so much enjoyment from your videos. I started watching your content because of you house! Natural builds and living roofs are cool!
Your skillset is amazing. And you truly seem to enjoy life and all of the challenges and joys it brings.
Now railways are cool. Old engines are too! Plasma cutters can do amazing things. Growing garlic is fun, and I've enjoyed learning from you as you did all of that.
Please make videos for you and Sandra, and those that will watch will watch. Cheers from Kentucky USA
Yea kentucky
That walk across the muddy path is so familiar. I too, long for some dry weather to get out and tackle the garden. Sometimes I wonder if there's any soil left because we live at the top of a hill and it might all get washed away...
Well... I don't speak or pretend to speak for anyone else, but I'm just here for the railway.
We all are. We all are here for the railway
But the railway doesn't make any money..
But it gets views and subs, and those do!😅 @@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 I'm not telling you what to do with your time/life. All I'm saying is: the reason I subbed to the channel was the train. Other people are definitely here for other reasons.
I think all men and boys are here for the railway. Damn I love a good railway.
yeah your plasma cutter is back ! This video shows so much your brilliance in keeping being open minded. Love it, you teach us a lot. Thank you, Tim! I'd love helping tidying up the workshop though I might not be the best help, but maybe inspiring, too ; ) lol I wish you the best for the plans for your car coming true! You absolutely deserve it and the people, who'd like buying your car, too!
I had forgotten how wonderfully massive that flywheel was! and it'll be fun seeing you get back to other projects again, as fun as the car has been, the charcoal and the railway are both super cool, and having more of those will be nice, once you're done you spring cleaning..
I started watching your videos because of your railway but that is a hobby and as you have said it doesn't make money and you can't build on wet ground, but I still enjoy watching your other videos and I look forward to seeing what you're going to make next.
Hi Tim, fabulous news about possibly building many Motts! The wooden car seems to be quite unique on CZcams. Also the driver head height is more in line with car drivers. There are many recumbent designs on youtube, but I wouldn't want tto drive one on the roads in traffic. Also, recumbents were made for human power only. The electric bike motors have changed everything.
Many thanks and best wishes, John
Thanks John. Yes, I wouldn't fancy a recumbent - too low down for me
Ok so the next project is a giant umbrella to shield the farm from too much rain? If YOU put your mind to it, I am sure you can come up with something! Thanks for the update and good luck with your shop cleaning! 👍😁😎
Love to see an update like this, I missed the old engine for sure.
Plasma cutters need very clean and dry air. Get an air dryer and change or install an air filter .
I have two filters and a refrigerator dryer already
So the next project is building car factory? 😄
I am wishing you all the luck with the technical inspection of your car and workshop. I really need to get out and clean up my shop as well. Hopefully the weather will clear for you and you can get outside again.
Mr Tim and his magnificent machines, perfect 👍.
Hope it goes your way with the car buddy and all the best
We’ve had two winters without meaningful snow, our average temperature is 1.5C higher than 30 years ago, the ocean waters surrounding Nova Scotia have never been as warm as these days (yes, we can prove that). Anyway, it’s good to see the massive flywheel in action but I’m oh so sorry your land is too soggy to proceed with normal Spring chores. And I hope your patent (right word?) will proceed smoothly!!
The railway is what drew me in but I enjoy seeing what devices and gadgets you make, its all very inspiring.
Nice to see you back to the usual Tim :) and what with spring upon us you'll have lots to do for the forseable lol
Thanks for the update, always a pleasure to see one of your videos come up!
Best of luck with the testing, twould be amazing to have something you built from a dream and a sketch be EU certified!
I'm looking forward seeing what contraptions are you going to invent next.
Always looking forward to seeing your next idea!
With all this water about, maybe you could try a rice paddy. It might not sell for much though but its something you could grow in all that wet I think.
Best of luck with getting Mott into production: it totally deserves to be! 😊
I hope your pedal car design is accepted, it's a nice little car.
Hi Tim, thanks for the update and may much sunshine be just around the corner for you!
power issues - maybe run through your supply/distribution boxes tightening all the connections? thermal effects tend to losen terminal screws over time, increasing resistance of connection, could lead to fire as well. be safe!
It goes without saying this is your 110/220/380Vac supply, and not the 11kV utility distribution voltage.
You sure inspire me to get out and do projects!
Maybe make a tender car for Tornado that can carry a compressor, since a high pressure unit is bit pricy. So she can get some use still for the garden railroad operations.
So much rain since Christmas! I've had a roofer working on a small part of my roof and, because of the heavy rain fall, its taken him nearly three weeks to complete a four day job as he's been unable to mortar the ridge tiles on for fear that the rain will just wash the mortar out.
Here in the states, eBay offers a 20 x 10 x 7ft Greenhouse tent, for less than $200. Free delivery !
At least it would let you sit on the grass❤
As it became less advantageous as a greenhouse, you could expand your wood drying facilities😊
If it's not raining in Ireland, it's about to rain!
If you want to know for sure IF your mains power is oow, or high, just buy a $10 multimeter and measure the AC volts at a power point.
Love your innovations and videos. Keep em coming.
I just love your videos!
It really make me gasp, and my heart skip a beat every time I see there's a new video uploaded.
Keep it up , and don't forget to have fun. ❤
Greetings from Germany 😊
I love the old engine! Great to see it back :D
Edit from later on: YES TIM!!!!!!! I think everyone would love to buy one! But I'm in canada lol. Anyways.
It's eco friendly, like a bike but easy! (What most people want.)
Im here for the railroad because im intending on eventually settling up a 15in gauge railroad for for use on the farm and the sawmill im trying to get established it's a 1888-1920s frick size 0 and my log yard is forced to be 7k ft away so rail will be a better option than maintaining drives that take up 3 times as much of my hay land
Watching the centre hub of the large wooden wheel in action, the moving bolt heads reminded me of the holes in the various gears of a Spirograph. Did anyone else have a similar thought?

Any project is interesting and I'll watch it. But I must admit that anything related to the railway has a special place in my heart. Whether it be building more track, more types of cars, etc. Maybe you can build a small train trestle.
I find all the things you have done interesting! I even just found some of the catamaran videos!
I hear your pain about the weather. I'm in England, so the weather, whilst not identical, has been similar and I just like there hasn't been a full day without rain for months and months.
Excellent content as always, we love to see whatever you do!
I'm here for all the interesting contraptions! The railway is certainly interesting contraption #1, but everything else you've made has been just about as engaging :)
Best luck getting certified and try not to cry during the crash testing!
Isn't that just the way of things, your fence line is solid stone and your walking path is deep soft soil.
We were wondering where you had got to busy with everything you do .We will enjoy watching 👀.You’re such an amazing man 🧍♂️ and genius good luck with the plans.Wish you a happy Easter 🐣 and Sandra and all the animals and the Donkeys 🫏 we love the Donkeys 🫏.Peace and blessings to you both.🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🫏🫏🫏🫏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Always a pleasure to see what you're working on, can't wait to see what's next
Whatever you do please make vidios on it I am sure it will be entertaning. Also please make sure to take breaks rest is important.
Love your videos, the right balance of interesting and relaxing
Cheers and good luck with that permit, super idea as well. 👍💪✌
I have an idea for the railway: see about making drawings and a material list for a flatcar, and sell it similarly to the Mott, in a little manual. idk, i just noticed plenty of people asking for more railway content, and I would think it would get you an extra buck.
Thanks, WS - I'll have a think..
Retrofit the car to be a train so you don't have to walk the line.
I wonder if geese know how funny they are when they are trying to be serious. Do they appreciate being laughed at or does that just make them more shouty? Anyway, great to be reminded about how scary and wonderful the giant wheel is, I had forgotten all about it. Tantalising news about the car too. 😊
A little headsup, there is a german bicycle enthusiast and seller called Mott.
I'll have a look..
It's always good to start engines every once in a while
dont worry about the viewers weel watch whatever your interested in :)
Let’s see your locomotive running on the railway, it’s a technical marvel that would add to your merit as a builder and inventor when it comes time to show the people who are coming to see what you’ve built
Congratulations, Tim! So, does this mean that if you pass all these inspections, etc., you'll produce all the parts needed for fabrication of all of the Mott's in Europe? At any rate, I hope this means bigger bucks for you & Sandra! I'm so sorry to hear about all that rain! Maybe you and Buttercup can do an anti-rain dance. If you do, video it! 😂 Tell that rascal hi for me!❤❤❤
7 times less!!!
The world is a strange place indeed.
☮
I'm here for all of it Tim. Cheers Mate. 🇨🇦
Thanks Tim 😊
Aw, it's nice to be back!
Tim I would consider contacting Organic Transit about your design they are trying to get back into production in the US that would be a very good alternative to the many "velomobile" designs they and other companies like theirs I would love to have one as a alterative to the ELF or PEBL
I’m here for the imaginative life you lead and share with us all.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again. You do whatever you're feeling lead to/need to do. Film it (if you can), but just focus on being sure you and your wife are secure on every front you have the ability to control. Never over-tax yourself for the sake of views. It's just not worth it.
God bless, from Maine (US)!
at 2:00 when the belt started to slip off please do be carful, I appreciate you are probably quite used to it but accident can happen very quickly and easily. the dragon has aged very nicely though!
Looks like you need a bigger chute for the charcoal grinder
It's life. You get one thing going and something else creeps in and throws everything for a loop. If you are anything like me sitting in front of the computer for editing video and doing technical drawings rots your brain. After I edit a few video's I have a hard time even sitting at a computer for a couple months... part of the reason why I haven't been around much.
Got a little bit done here and there over the last few months myself and now the busy season starts up. We pulled about a ton of rock out of the ground so we could put in a small garden. The area where the garden will work best is also an area that was filled in at some point over the 100 years the house has been standing and it seems rock was the idea back then, lol. After that the ground was about 6" lower but since the crawlspace under the house is very shallow I have been taking out the topsoil to help fill in the garden as well as low spots in the yard. I get down to the rock/clay layer and then move on to another area so far have about 18" of increased depth and eventually I will start pulling out the rock and clay layer to see what kind of depth I can get. The foundation is also in rough shape so I figure if I can get to around 10' depth I will just go for a basement. Took down part of a couple trees... eventually to take them down all the way since I don't want some 60 foot plus monstrosity near the house. Going to put in some smaller stuff in the front yard that will help pollinators in the early part of the year (Redbud trees) and maybe a small fruit tree in the back along with a Japanese maple so don't fret about the trees that are going to be gone. Thankfully the city has a cleanup day where the run around with a chipper to help clean up the brush, was also nice to get a couple yards of chips for mulch in the garden for free. They also just dump it all in a pile and leave it so might see about finding a place to compost it and sell but who knows.
Next up for a small project is a sawmill so I can cut up some of the larger logs I got from the trees I cut down. I have one that is called a hackberry and the other I think is American Elm (the heartwood is a right golden color) so may be able to make a few things with the boards I get. Where I am at there is also a ton of western red cedar around I can probably get for free and who knows what else I can come across.
Ever need a metal shaft made to specifications? Or bushings, bearing seats, etc. If you ever need parts made on a lathe, please ask!
Thanks, Pawel. That would be great - but are you in Ireland?
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299 I am Munster based! Do you have an email where I can contact you?
@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299I am not very far from you, how can I contact you?
Here I'm the lake district global warming seems to be coming more apparent also. I do think tho that it is partially due to the large amount of online shopping rather than shopping locally and also the large number of people travelling up here by car when there is trains and buses available. All the bet Tim! I hope it dries up soon! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!
How about a wood gasifier for your big stationary engine?
I love any video you put out. It's great to just see what you've been up to.
Congratulations on having your car be tested!
Fingers crossed for you all!
I am interested to see what the performance differences might be between the British made tips and Chinese made tips. If any.
I think they were made in the same factory
Tim we're gonna miss the donut cart. Sure was an interesting build and was hoping to see you flipping them with the fork idea you had. But alas progress must move forward and with that the donut cart. Maybe something else will take it's place in upcoming videos. Thanks for the update and you entertaining us for so long.
Tim I'm interested in your steam and steam engine developments. I've even been hearing that that old engine of yours could work well on a charcoal gasifier. So theoretically it can be powered by the very stuff it's processing. I'm building a charcoal gasifier to run a motorcycle... All the very best Tim. Cheers J
Have you done a test fit of those plasma tips? I noticed the shoulders were different thicknesses.
tested them both - they are identical
Whatever is going on, I'll be here. It sucks that it's been super wet but at least you're able to stay busy.
im deeply invested in your railway, tim
I love that machine.😊
I find all your projects fun
Railway needs a loco!!!!!
Railroad and locomotive. Please !!!!!!
Tidy up! The phrase fills me with dread.
How about making an electric railway engine for your in-house railway line.
I mean, he has one that runs off of compressed air so I think that'll be enough.
Next Tim announces he is building his own nuclear reactor
Het Tim,when are you going to invent a time machine.I have a spare flux capacitor lying around if you should need it.🤗
I take it the 1558 law against making charcoal from trees is no longer in effect?
👍👍👍
I get suspicious when big companies make offers you can't refuse. be careful so they don't steal ownership in the process, hoopefully i'm just being cynical : ) good luck tim!
love this guy
Regardless of whether you believe climate change is man made or not, I find it incredible any one could deny it is happening.
It always happening but it's nothing to do with man.
Fingers crossed for the MOTT and the testing - Henery Ford watch out! As for rain ... well its been the wettest winter I can remember. Our garden's been a bog for months!😥😥😃😃😎😎
I am not a proponent of climate change, but I do wholeheartedly agree that earth goes through seasons as an entire planet. Some centuries hotter or cooler than others, maybe seasons wetter or drier...
Regardless, it is hard to have a conversation via CZcams post, but I will continue to send my best wishes to you!
Before the 1900s we were in a downswing of those "seasons" you're talking about. So the earth was cooling down, but now the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is higher than it has been in the entire history of our planet.
@@baileykeller288
Check your facts. The Earth's co2 level has been much higher.
The rate of plant growth and seed germination is also higher than it has been in the entire history of our planet. At the same time CO2 accounts for 0.035% of the atmosphere and, at least in the US, we plant over a billion trees annually while having nature produce 4000 liquid litres of oxygen for every liquid litre of CO2 we produce.
I understand that media coverage over the issues and effects of climate change are mainly over stated due to news and politicians tending to say, in a fancy way, "the world is going to end" because it almost always guarantees publicity and or money.
I stand on the side of the argument where I believe earth and its natural processes are like a, big, slow pendulum always seeking equilibrium each time it swings back and forth and that while humans may be able to affect the pendulum in some very negative ways, at some point in time it will return to a relative equilibrium. Now I am still a complete proponent of making everything as energy and material efficient as possible since we as humans should be smart in what we do, however I believe there is a point where it is too extreme.@@baileykeller288
Also I think that in the 1900's we started entering earth's global "summer" and were leaving "winter." These seasons/cycles are known to happen over the span of centuries.
