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

Likewise, we had one that we ran off an 8N Ford. Everybody had one
back then. Don't recall hearing of accidents with them, though
looking back, it's almost amazing you didn't.


If you think accidents didn't happen, you never were in a town where
the big industry was a sawmill or shake mill.

Never said accidents don't happen.
