yea he is a realy nice guy,he still also has a water powered saw mill, and his son told me he offered to load on some big oak with his digger, but he refused and uses bars and rollers to get on to the table,just a shame that it is no longer viable for anyone to make a proper living out of these old mills,a trust may be taking it on but if more than one person is working in the mill at the same time they are classed as an employee, and insurance wont cover as to dangerous with open belts etc, but a bit dangerous for someone working on there own, as there is no off switch:001_huh: so its catch 22,

Great video, Good to see the old guy showing his skills, can't be many left like him now.

Great video, he certainly has some skill! His hands must be made of asbestos, he's certainly not afraid to grab the timber while it's in the lathe.
