Friggin' AWESOME! Straight out of Star Wars. . . . . I think I got some wood watching that vid . . (not sure how that will translate internationally . .LOL!)
Anyway, given a 50k budget . . . and a staff . . I might be able to come up with something like that . . . . however, if I fall somewhere between that monster and Tormach I shall be well pleased.
Ha ha yes it translates almost word for word, seeing it on you tube is cool but seeing it when standing right in front is amazing and to think they have been doing that same toolchange since at least the mid to late 80's, the one I am likely getting is I think 1987 or 88.
