If this legend doesn't impress you, you are unable to be impressed...

Great story. Thanks for posting.

Amazing individual.
It's interesting to see things that people have built, just to see if they can. This is one of the best.
Thanks for sharing

 

[rmotoman]

Yep great story thanks for sharing

 

[jcouch]

Great Story my kind of hero. Thanks for sharing it.

Great story! I think the part that is annoying is where they mention, he does all this work, builds this mill, then some government license fee made the mill uneconomic.

Same BS here, busy work/make work gov jobs. A pox on productive people.

Couldn't agree more...

What a champ!

 

[Creeker]

Truly impressive man who didn't get much formal schooling but is a natural engineer.

Laughed at his Missus, she has given up trying to protect him and is just letting him live his life, great
couple.

 

[hanniedog]

A self made man. Had a nice little business going until the gov decides more fees are needed.

 

[RiverRat2]

Wow that is impressive...

 

[juttree]

Very cool story, this is someone we could learn a thing or two from.

 

[banana boat]

One of the things I like about Oz...women named "Pip."

Even at his age the passion for his mill is as strong as ever

I don't get it....
Phillipa isn't shortened to pip elsewhere?

 

[snoozeys]

We shorten everything down here

 

[MCW]

I don't get it....

I would have just called her "P"...

 

[snoozeys]

I think it's safe to say he will work the mill till he dies ... will probably get buried under it haha
