Brian - Yeah, it's homemade, and I think who ever did it did a great job. The only thing I could wish for is the ability to gear up the drive a bit. It is only cutting at a 1/2" per minute. It would be nice if you had a two speed for hard and soft rocks. The price is the best I could ask for - I am borrowing it for free. It belongs to my neighbor who hasn't used it for years. He said he paid $50 for it... Think I should offer to double his investment???!!!!
