Hooray for Mystic, if they've got the big one up and running. They were just pouring the slab for it when I wrapped up working there.

Those are 48" diameter wheels. I wish I could have seen it run.

Even the "little" one is a monster.

Lovely bits of gear ! I don't think there was ever one in Australia , yards were too cheap to buy them and boatbuilders were pretty poorly paid .It was all adze and broad axe here .
