He is the young man behind the camera that is directing the video. Click the link below and enjoy!    Tobacco Tier Rails - YouTube or Tobacco Tier Rails (odysee.com)

Many of our projects have been made from reclaimed tobacco tier rails. Since my husband and I both grew up on tobacco farms, we assumed that many people understood our terminology.
