That’s one crazy saw... lol 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Zach Frjelich

Sketchy, super sketchy! Lol that spring would do nothing if that saw wanted a piece of you. Great job as always!

My uncle, Ted “Splitnose” Sawyer, used to have one of those.

Anyway, nice job! Reminds me of my dad’s old safety-free workshop. Lots of unprotected blades and belts. But here I am typing!

Eric, you definitely set the pace on professional restorations - loved how you recreated the brass horseshoe angle indicator!👍🏼. On the entertainment side, my new favorite film element is the Gregorian changing of the wire wheel. We were all deeply moved!!!

Janet Dupree

OK——-I do like your voice 🥰

Don H.

I'm to scared to watch😮

Micah winters

I gotta know. What do you do with all these crazy contraptions?

Eric, shirt idea: DANGER! GIZMOSITY! RUST! Just big block letters on the front lol.

Who puts a giant spinning wheel of death on a swing and sells it to people??

Scott Miller

Someone similar to the guy that first attached teeth to a bicycle chain, wrapped it lengthwise around a bar, stuck it on a gas engine & sells it to people?

Most of these men have died of old age at 107, and had exchanged in a leisurely tiff of fisticuffs with a grizzly bear the day before. A whole other weight of ball bearings these men had. Today's tuff guy sports marbles in comparison.

The Wire Wheel is Dead! Long Live the Wire Wheel!

Great stuff as always and super cool to see Minnesota represented! We like the daaaaaannnngerrr!

For what it's worth, I went looking on Google to find photos of how one of these would be mounted in a sawmill, and the second page listed under "swing saw" was the OSHA safety page: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/woodworking/swing_cutoff.html. It does have some good advice about how to use this safely -- namely, treat it like a propeller and don't stand in the plane of action.

Looks like it would be excellent for sawing up political signs in a few weeks.

Where is Vincent Price?? Where does the mill worker get attached to the table as the pendulum swings... ever closer?

Goose Gosselin

All the cool kids have a Weltrekord Ratchet Screwdriver.

Hahaha, glad you liked that part! I want to do more acid etching in the future.

Thanks for making this video on a tool that I remember seeing in the 1950's, at a lumberyard in my home town. At the time it was state of the art. The lumberyard owner was bragging it up as something that would change the world. Later my dad said that that saw would end up hurting someone. Sure enough, a yard worker took off his thumb with it a few months later.

"perfect halloween murder tool" I'll drink to that.

Craig Bourquin

My dad worked at Timken for 46 years. I was there for 10. They were founded in 1899. They invented the Tapered Roller Bearing.

handtoolrescue

Wow! That's awesome! These bearings are still good!

Victor Au

Seems like no hands should be anywhere near this weapon.

Joseph Brzezinski

Holy hell, this saw gives you multiple ways to maim yourself...

"optional" belt guard, Really? It makes me shiver when I picture my thumb between the belt and the pulley.
