Hi Kye and all,

It's great work you do in promoting a shake-up of the establishment.
That the 320-01 is being recognised is great news!

As the Forum Historian, I have spent decades bringing to life 'old mowers'.
I also recognise that the resuscitation process is not a single street.

I lament the days when art played a role in manufacture of common goods.
This is a Shanks lawnmower from 1862. None survive.

Note how the style is thematic, combining nature into the castings, but
also combining the man-made geometry in the gear guard... it's a piece of art.

I feel customization personalizes a machine, and, in the modern,
homogenized world, I feel that is much needed.

I guess it's a sort of salutary joke.
I'm happy to see ODK record customization projects of all sorts.

p.s. For your dad: It's best these projects are executed in sobriety.
Although the inspiration may be founded after a few Queensland ales. grin
