I miss that frickin’ Vermont. God those were good times. People were so real. I grew up tagging around behind men like that. Man, it makes my soul hurt to the bones watching that. Life gone by. Thanks for posting that again Phil.

That is a cool film. Ben Thresher is also in “The Last Yankees, Folkways in Eastern Vermont and the Border Country” by Scott E. Hastings, Jr., University Press of New England, 1990.

I bet I use that trick of using two kerfs clamped together to get half of a straight bore someday.

See also:

“Making Double Sleds” by John Rhicard, SFJ, Winter, 1990, Vol. 14, #1.

Instructional as well as being as great read by a great guy.
