    In this case, term 'graphic' is a definition refering to gore, which this video hasn't.
    I'd invite any young buck tussle one green Pacemaker at left, in avatar. I'd even select lowest RPM, heck it's only 35. . .Graphic would be plenty evident then, compared with dinky little Victor or Jet.

    If by ¨graphic¨, gore was meant, then gore should have been used. Gore is a perfectly good and honest word. Graphic, on the othe hand, has become a vague word with many meanings in the way it´s now used. It also has an exact meaning... That big green thing wouldn´t fit in my shed - it barely houses my c1900 14x38 Hendey. Planning on building a 40x40 shop if time permits. My time on earth, that is.

    40' x 40' is a worthy size. What I hankered for too, one long, long time.
    Big green thing? Only a svelte 9300 lbs of 16" x 54".
    Shamefully, I awaited photo-opportunity for that effect. With snow on the ground, none of the other shots worth saving. Filed some copies, but the original's titled 'Skyline', as in day I altered ours.
    Well, a 80' mobile crane helped some...

    In high school shop class a few things happened and you were never allowed back. This guy is lucky he didn't get torn to bits.
