Hi, BJohnson.
That's great news, M8. And yes, those old jiggers can give you a pretty fair workout in a 10-hour day, especially if you try to boss them around too much. They ain't referred to as 'she' for nothing. Get a good rythym going, be sensitive to her and how she likes to be (man)handled and use a delicate touch at just the right moment. She will reward you.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Well the finals are pouring oil and the owner wants to fix the leak by putting sawdust in then.Some people don't need to own equipment.
