Weekend Steam One Day Early!

Merle found a good one that really is good to show after the one we had last week.  If you like to look at houses built 100 years ago, this is how moldings were made back then.  Big iron planers with shaped knives that were turned by steam engines made that fancy wood.  I've been lucky to see some of this machinery in action, and now you can too!  Thanks for the good work in spotting, Merle!

Just before sunset, a couple of steam powered wooden boats launched at the ramp across from my house, to join the Wooden Boat show in Toledo, Oregon this weekend. One was a stern paddle wheeler. Toot Toot!
