    Seen one of these before? Cool but spooky. :zip: :cheers:

    79 year old brother inlaw sold the old homestead a couple weeks ago up north and we've been dealing with it as he's stuck in a wheelchair. His dad had this 2 man saw out back which he gave me and pretty sure its going up on the den wall.:coldone: There are markings on it that I will google tomorrow and see if I can get some info about it.:salute:

    I have seen several versions of those. The originals, before they were motorized, were pedal powered among other things. I remember seeing one in very good condition being demonstrated, if I'm not mistaken, by Roy Underhill of The Woodwright's Shop fame.
    I'm pretty sure I have some pictures of one in use somewhere but it's certainly on a computer that is awaiting a new video processor.

    I have seen several versions of those over the years. The earliest ones, prior to being motorized, had a seat & pedals. I remember seeing a very original condition one demonstrated, if I'm not mistaken, by Roy Underhill of The Woodwright's Shop fame.
    I know I have some vintage pictures of a few but currently on a computer awaiting a new video processor.

    That thing is cool! Never seen one. Looks like the big brother version of the Wright type saw.
