[TheForge] Line Shaft Driven Factories

[Jerry Frost]

We were working on POW isle. in the early to mid-90's and as I reminisce
about moving the equipment I realized we took a float plane over and met the
ferry to off load the drill and other equipment. I don't think I've ridden
the Hollis Ketchikan ferry. Still, as often and as many people I asked about
smithing equipment specifically and machine shop equipment in general I
would've thought somebody would've told me about it. On the other hand, most
of the folk I came in contact with their either killed fish or killed trees
for a living and probably just didn't know about such things as metal
working. <sigh>
