Thanks Lang, helps to know what was under the black top.
The Ruston Shovel could have been a star in the Pixar wheels with Mater Tow!
The little Cat was doing great, though film speed might be out.
What some of our grandfathers worked at after the great war.
Who would have a ticket for a 10 pound sledge today?
Great sharing, Paul.

Image trying to get people to do that sort of work today. Hard work by hard men and made to last

Great clip, Watching the quarrymen jump up onto the tray to pull the slings off the blocks while the shovel's still flailing around.
Around Razorback and the Camden area there is some beautiful quality sandstone.
Doesn't have a lot of grain lines to it, otherwise known as freestone, hence why there are so many fine stone building in Picton, Camden and even Campbelltown.
Thanks for posting.

Come and join me for a day and I'll show you. I still do everything by hand, no power tools.
