You meant you travelled several hunded miles round trip to go to Weland in preference to Woodus' Carnival a couple of miles down the road with good company???

I can only assume we worked you and Casey too hard last weekend and you needed a rest.

This horizontal saw was built in the early 1900s. Made by Kirchner of Leipzig (Saxony, ex-GDR), it was supplied to Llangedwyn Mill (Oswestry) in mid-Wales. Originally powered by a waterwheel.
