Entered for Barry Nark, who says "Father used it to sharpen fence posts. Somebody offered him $500.00 and he wouldn't accept it. Since then he passed away and we had a huge auction to liquidate everything. It was going to sell for $50.00 @ the auction. I couldn't see that happening so I am now the proud owner, needless to say my wifes Subaru won't fit in the garage. I almost have everything working and plan to take it to the Gas - Up in upstate NY. Here's a couple of photos that I hope you enjoy.
