Certainly a special person.  Very interesting
Think like a farmer.

Great video, Jules!  Goes to show that in order to be intelligent you don't need a 'formal education'  We all know at least one person like this gent who has a creative and inventive mind.

Thank the Lord for second chances

This man is a one of a kind. They don't make many like him. To still be working at 85 in strenious job and loving it is amazing. How could anybody not admire a man like him. bg

This is why I collect all the junk I can. It might lay around for years before I use it, but sooner or later I will use it. And I am to cheap ;D to buy some stuff I like to make it.

That was time well spent! Did you guys see the stride he has when walking? He's got more energy than people half his age. Truly he is one outstanding  man. Thanks for posting the video!

Very impressive.  I hope I,m as spry as he is if I make to his age.
I cant figure out which one I like better: working with wood or making the tools to work with wood.

Thank you for the posting.  Not only does it show what a truly inventive person can do but he seems like a really nice individual.  No air of superiority just a good quality person.

I totally agree with you, pine.

Simply amazing, it's a shame that the whole world isn't filled with men just like him. Who's up for taking a small vacation to Australia to see this guy! I've  always wondered about the outback.....

No doubt about it, Mr. Ralf Affleck if the spelling is correct, is a man of men.  He brings the ole saying "work smarter, not harder" to a whole new meaning.  Now there's no doubt this ole fellow could work me into the ground and laugh about it :D,  His humility is inspiring, and his work ethic beyond compare.  I just love this guy, and don't even know him,  and I just betcha his wife cooks up a storm!   thanks for sharing this video.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,
