My 70,00 Pound Lawn Ornament
« on: October 30, 2011, 02:10:30 PM »
At the end of my post, Using BigToolsToday, I posted a picture of an old crane that I rescued. In the end, I lost the battle to save it when my brother scrapped it without telling me.

To sad.  I hate to see any old metal to have survived that long then be taken to scrap.
