Certainly a special person. Very interesting
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.
truly amazing
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
That guy is truly a genius.
Reminds me of a fella I know in Tallapoosa, GA.
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!
I enjoyed that.
Very impressive. I hope I,m as spry as he is if I make to his age.
Thanks for posting!! That fellow is something!
Great post!!! The old fella reminds me of some one I know
Jaw dropping ! The skidder is just over the top !
IF you haven't made a mistake you have not made anything,,,,,,,,,,,, I love it
And I thought building our bandmill was a chore! Awesome!
The log skidder he built is amazing.
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.

so so true :D
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.
What an inspiration that fellow is to us all. I hope I can still work wood when I am 85
