    Wow. That's truly amazing. What a game changer that must have been from hand cutting each log. And back in the day, to design and build that without the use of computers ,calculators or power tools.

    Amazing what could be done without the modern tools and the craftsmanship of the whole building and saw itself and now fast forward to now with all the tools and equipment we have the quality of construction is nothing like that JB

    Machines such as this brings a whole new appreciation of the workmanship and creativity of those that came before us. You can almost see and feel a watchmakers precision in the mechanical design. Kinda makes a hack like myself feel less than a little insignificant....
    Great link, thanks for posting it.
