I'm sure he would . I would love to have it and be its caretaker . It's needs a good woodworker or someone with deep pockets . We have a 110 year old house that we have rebuilt . I must be a glutton for punishment . I don't think we could own both and do a very good job of keeping up both . Something would have to go . I would still need my shop to own this one . It ain't gonna happen but I'm glad I looked.
