I picked it up off 'the bay' just before xmas. I went this route for a number of reasons: 1) I don't mind building up a good sweat on weekends. 2) If it came down to it, a one-man saw is a little more stealthy in a suburban environment than a power tool. 3) I'd hate to have to rely on gas-powered tools if I were depending on wood for fuel. 4) It is a fine example of a classic tool of the Pacific Northwest (perforated lance tooth style).
Now I need to pick up a set gauge, etc. and a beater saw on which to practice sharpening... it would hurt me quite a bit to mess this one up.
Mhr,
That is one very cool saw. Wish I had it when I was helping my brother take
down those 3 trees in his backyard this fall. It would have been done in
half the time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Just how big
IS that beast?
