    I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching. I try to go in order, but you have been doing this a long time. I really enjoy watching you make "music" with all the machines. My grandson enjoys watching with me too.

    Hey Chris just a quick note Tim needs a plastic wedge to put in between prevent the saw from getting the blade pinched, also it seems like your sthil could stand to get the air cleaner cleaned don't use gas it don't work buy some naptha and that is the best cleaning solvent once you clean it blow it out with air...

    Your videos are always fun to watch. You're a surgeon with that thing.
    Random thought: This halloween you should go as an excavator; the boom/stick/bucket comes out of the center of your chest and you have a set of hand controls to actuate the Boom/Stick/Bucket. Some young'un could set that up for you with servos and switches...
