Close encounters of the mechanical kind. A living tribute to the hands that built a nation and the machines that turned the soil and laid the foundations of western Canada. Drift along for the ride.

The time has come to throw our efforts together to save another piece of irreplaceable history. The tugboat Forceful faces an uncertain future and the time is now to show support of her continued preservation because once these treasures are gone, they’re gone for good. Please see the links in the video description to see how you can help, or just give the video a watch and a like, every bit helps.
Keep ‘em running.

If you love steam engines you will love the ‘Ellsworth Collection’ series of video’s by ‪@BalticFilms144‬. Stop on by and have a look at their video series of rare and unique steam driven machines being brought back to life, some never before see on film.

Absolutely stunning work being done by these folks, worth a watch. Steam cutter NJ1 of the US Battleship New Jersey (BB-16) launched in 1904 and sailed with the legendary Great White Fleet. This launch is being lovingly and painstakingly restored to absolute original specifications, no modern tech, just pure historic originality.

Got a ton of content to drop in the next little while as I will be switching to a newer, better phone that will hopefully alleviate the numerous problems I am currently dealing with uploading Shorts from day to day. Hope you enjoy the coming content dump!

Happy New Year! Its been some time but the hiatus is now ended. New videos going up starting today. As it has been two and a half years, the entire YouTube Studio has changed in my absence and it will take a bit of time to get used to so please bear with me. As well i wish to apologies for any ads that appear during my videos as this is due to YouTube recently implementing a policy of generating ad revenue from any and every video that qualifies under its very loose and ill defined guidelines. Thus going forward i will be implementing slightly different editing techniques as i no longer feel it necessary to adhere to guidelines that formerly kept my content ad free. Hope you enjoy the upcoming content! Keep ‘em rolling!
