well it's been over a year since this thread began, but i thought it needed an update.....
Dad just got a computer and an internet hook up--it's kinda funny, he gets his tech advice from my wife-(she's the computer genius in our family)
the guy that took apart a shuttle-shift back-hoe transmission (and fixed it) now learning the world of computers and the internet[cl
anyway, he asked me to add the "ratrod sawmill" to his favorites to show some of their friends sometime--talked to him tonight and he thanked me for my words of appreciation on the thread--means alot to the middle child who has always "flown his own flag"
still wanting a video to post of this thing in action......
