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.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
