    That looks like a real cool show. I love any big iron, traction engines, steam powered machinery, power hammers, presses, etc. Nothing like that around here but a few hit or miss engines.:faint:

    A new smaller mill they were trying out today, the big one is in the barn in the back ground. Belted up to a steamer of course IMG_1596.JPG IMG_1597.JPG And a planer they had belted to a McCormick W4 IMG_1595.JPG Wished I'd taken more pictures today but it was a good day that I wait for every year. My little guy just turned three and he's just as nuts about it as me

    There was a planer like that for sale two towns over from me. Very similar in size. I can't remember how many cutter knives were on it. Pretty serious machinery.

    Are you talking about the Canandaigua steam show? That was a few weeks ago and a good show too. We made that one this year too and my 3 year old son got to operate a full size 1940's era dragline!!:D
