JJ, ........"Those were the Days." We did what we had to do to make it work for us.
Glad you made the second one so that you were not as bent over.
That would get old in a hurry!

Thanks J J. I saw the couple of pictures you posted here of your earlier walk arounds.
But I don't do Facebook or Instagram, so will miss your video.

Thank you J J. That link worked for me and looked good.
I see you also favor Ngraver square steel handles.
My favorite too for H&C.

I see for some reason two duplicates showed up with notes that the video was not available?
