I once saw a video from south of the USA border where a guy, "an
artist", did a similar thing to carve wood, not just cut it in half.
Scarey!


I cut a LOT of elm with a similar saw back on the farm in the late
sixties - ours was flat belt driven off the pulley of the 1949 Massey
Harris 44 - it would cut wood all day running at idle on a gallon or
two of gas. OSHA would have a BIRD today!!! No guards on the blade or
the belt


When I was a kid - our neighbour used a 1928 Durant
to power their saw. What's left of the old car, sits today,
in our fenceline.

My dad farmed with an old Buick straight eight with a Leyland truck
transmission and differential behind the buick, and big truck tires a
4 cyl Durant "star" engine sat crosswize across the back with a pulley
on the end of the transmission to provide "belt power"
