I used to work Logging and running yarders and processors in the woods. I know what greasing gears is all about . LOL I sometimes looked as greasy as the gears.
I love every last detail of this, HiHo. The composition, framing, angles, GREASE, and i personally like what is going on to the right to give perspective. Yes, the detail back in the shadow is fantastic - nailed that but good. The bracket holding it all together is a substantial as a motor mount. Imagine the torque it is holding to rights. Superb, well done!
I appreciate your kind help, all. 'Hope I can put some of it to use this wkend. Sly would like it - everything from wild paint on hot rods to concours restos of 20's-30s classics. For those within striking distance to Woodland, WA in the Pacific North Wet, its fun. https://www.planters-days.com/2016-schedule
