AMAZING! Thanks for sharing this David. What an incredible man with a remarkable mind. My father was an automobile mechanic but was also a jack of all trades. He did his own plumbing, electrical and carpentry work. Heck, there were eight of us kids so he didn't have the money to pay folks to do things…instead he learned, asked customers who were tradesman, etc. so he could do it himself. I see a lot of that in this man. Little schooling but an incredible mind for anything mechanical.
for the sawyer in you

The knocker engine TS3 was produced by the Commer Veh or the Rootes Group.
It was a diesel engine produced about the 1950s
It had horizontally opposed cylinders and each cylinder having 2 opposing pistons forming the combustion chamber.
It made a charactistic knocking noise when running hence the nick name Knocker.

And yes we do have a OHSA and its just as inhibiting as everybody elses, I would sum it up as an attempt to legislate against fools killing themselves.
Example I had to write up a JSA (Job Safety Assessment) to unlock a power point at a site I was working at just to be able to use it.
