 That would be good to see Ralph as I am interested too.

Harry 

Terry,

There is a guy - http://members.tripod.com/~cliffscustomcutouts/   - in St.
Charles, MO That uses a pedal powered saw.  He puts out thousands of items.
He's only about 45 min. from me.  If he will let me, I will get some close
up pics of the saw.
