This was our own homegrown guy, Fred Dibnah. Spent his life demolishing factory chimneys, and then got into controlled explosive demolition. But it was his calm life philosophy that made him something of a celebrity here in the UK. Quite a few you tube vids of the guy. Many years dead - a combination of smoking, and demolishing chimneys coated with toxic stuff did for him in the end. The "engine" is his steam traction engine that he spent many years restoring - it has recently sold for £250k - a mark of Dibnah's cult status.
