Very nice - I am not sure who has more pleasure - granddaughter and
grandpa. The belt was a little bit too loose... haha

Arnold ;D

Jürgen isn't it fun, they make you feel like a young kid again.

Thanks Arnold, we had some giggles setting that up. Both cork boards are on lazy susans so the slightest touch set them slightly apart and caused belt issues but lots of laughs :)

You are a lucky man Jim.

Your granddaughter picked well on the accessories. And she is quite adept with the transmission belts. 🤠

Another fine video. 👏👏👏👏👏

With such fine helpers keeping everything running properly, (the grandchildren), you'll have more time
to tinker. Great video Jim.

Yes Jim, you are absolutely right. The children enrich our lives immensely.We should enjoy every moment with them. If we can get them a little involved in our hobby as well, that's wonderful. They won't forget that and will pass it on someday.
