Hell, it takes me a least 2-3 minutes to cut off a 1 inch diameter steel rod in
my lathe spinning at high speed with a new, sharp hacksaw blade. By the time
it's done, I'm breathing hard, cussing, sweating, etc.

minute with a hand saw. I know if I tried, I would be winded, and probably
would run overtime.
