Many were giiven to him, years ago, as cast-aways. He has worked in the industry (started out as service/mechanic) since he was in his 20's. Only he had the forsight or just interest to save the big old relics, when nobody wanted them. Look up Waynes Saw shop in Amboy Wa. New owner now, but still a local landmark. His bio is a short read on Mike Acres site.
