Every once in a while I'll come back and watch all of these steam engine videos. Watching John build and listening to him explain everything is very soothing. Hope John is still with us but his 85th birthday was 10 years and we haven't heard anything from him in a while which causes some concern.

Well done, you got it

My 51 year old singing group Sing Thing Family Singing loves this song and we sing it every year at the Christmas magic 12 days. There is a RUclips video one of our participants posted. It is one of many counting songs that counts through the 12 days.

At 3:37! Very Scary And Fun At The Same Time! A Dragon From Ancient Egypt Coming To US!

I am surprized that this nice man has not more Likes. He is wonderful

What a charming video!

Hello John are you still alive

Hello

I miss this man

Coming along nicely. Those are tough strokes to do cleanly.

Bravo dude. 👏 awesome

You have a good setup there. Everything you need is in an arms reach. All the best for the future. Thanks for the video. 👍🇦🇺

I really enjoyed this and it might even inspire me to get out my old ukulele!

I love this i love this.

My father used to sing this to me when I was a small child. Even then I somehow understood the lyrics and so I would cry. I think of my father now I’m old and I cry again.

This is awesome. Thank you for the motivation

great design and machining, what's next ? !!!

John what a Beautifull Designed Engine absolutely 10/10

С новым годом.

Спасибо.

Wonderful, thank you from a 78 year old who has been learning ukulele for about a year now and wants to add a banjouke to his repertoire next year.

Nice rendition!

i love everything about this video. thank you so much

Good job John thank you, you're an inspiration to the young and old. As the saying goes "you're never too old",

Absolute wonderful, wonderful gentleman ❤️🎶🎶

Lovely voice.

Excellent !!

Just FYI, as of November 2020 John is still alive and kicking! Just hasn't updated RUclips in a number of years :)

Well done John. I am married to Sian (daughter of Gwyn). Keen to get in touch with Pete (mike@siemea.com)

I was young when this was shared I really like you sir🌸

My grandfathers clock sang by possibly a grandfather. How ironic

i was introduced to this song doing Renaissance Faires in California. I've always loved it, but never found a recorded version i liked. Yours, sir, I found myself singing along to before i even knew what i was doing!

It’s fnaf

Hi John great inspiration, I have just started playing my first instrument at the young age of 74, it's a ukulele just a month into it , found your sessions and they are great , looking forward to improving and maybe move onto a banjolele, keep up with the sessions

I love this video and this song!!!

Used to sing this around a campfire at church camp in Saskatchewan, Canada many decades ago.

Enjoyed this video too, John. Just a thought, it's been 9 years ago since this ... why not let us see how you're doing now if you're still playing and I do hope that you are. You've certainly given *this* old man some hope that with practice and perserverance that maybe I might be able to get to grips with things too. lol

I can't find the first one at all. Have you taken it down John or do you have a link please? Would love to see it and follow your journey, although I can see it was 9 years ago but I'm 66 (67 in November) and just bought my first banjolele ... sadly I can't play it yet as it didn't come with a fitted bridge and I've been making a right mess of trying to fit it and then tune it so waiting to see what happens but you're right, you're never too old to learn something new especially now with all this time on our hands. :) Anyway great job John.

I like the word “older” as opposed to “old”...more respectful 👍🏻🌸....What sounds better...old man and old lady (woman)...or older man and older lady (woman)❓🤷🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️😁

Great for you👏🏻👏🏻How much does this particular gold tone banjolele weigh please and thank you ❓👍🏻‼️

I love it! I don't suppose you can tell us the chords?!

Loved it sir

Wow, it was an amazing parade that I wish one day 😘 I have a chance to participate. Have a nice weekend 😘😊!

Greetings from turkey. I liked your garage shop.well equipped also your skill is highest.

Enjoyed this, thank you!

Add a second muted downstrum when acapella to prevent rushing. Love it!

Bit clean that 'our kid', good set up, but not much action goes on in there! dx

Well done . John have you played other instruments beside banjolele and mouth organ. You are good
