Lawrence, thanks for the links and a peek at your farm.

see my work at:  www.earthflow.com

I too have an interest in hand, pedal and treadle powered equipment as well as water wheel direct powered equipment -looking to collect some equipment as well as always looking for books, pics as well as links and plans.  -so if anybody comes across anything -please post. 




For those of you that haven't seen it check out a pedal powered competition:

I'm also working on a solar cooker design -and also interested in biomass cookers in general.
classic place to go for info is http://www.aprovecho.org/

I also have a growing interest in designing & building a lower cost modular, prefab and otherwise pre-fabricated residential and commercial buildings.

I have been very inspired by Pliny Fisk
