Being home from work due a busted shoulder, a new video from Chris helps the mood. All the tricks you learn from watching a master at work, is just insane. A lot of the techniques I see in these videos, I can use in my day to day work, as a city road worker, operating (not quite as large as Chris') machines, cutting grades and laying gravel for retaining wall foundations. Keep up the good work Chris!
