Those are pretty nice looking poles for used, are you sure there's not some village out there with no electricity?  :D  BWW

Nice looking work Jaws!  Those bus frames are harder to get than I thought, everyone has buses in their scrap yard but they use em for storage!

Jaws,

Nice looking wood, from here the sawed boards look like oak.
How is that clutch you made working?  Good, I hope.   That is a good looking mill.  Have you ever thought about selling plans for it?
