We used similar sledd style brakes on a neighbor's hay wagon when we baled his hay, circa 1966. He had no power equipment, it was all horse drawn. I was grateful I got to experience it. We have kept our antique farm equipment houses to this day.

This looks a lot older than 1964.

Скільки ручної праці фахівців найвищої кваліфікації! 64-й рік, мені три. Кожен з них міг мені тоді сказати щось добре, але я й сьогодні відчуваю доброту немолодих тодішніх майстрів. Велика повага до ціх людей, а кінооператору велика подяка за те, що зберіг для нас цю перлину минулого.

An excellent nostalgic video which records the hard physical labor our forefathers undertook and the myriad of skill they developed to complete such a task. It’s also amazing how much each man trusts the other, clearly they’ve worked together for years and now know how to anticipate the actions of the other but such trust is still incredible.

And we think that we are qualified enough to make theories about the building of the pyramids thousands and thousands of years ago...
