There are saws that look dangerous, and then there’s the swing saw. Take a look at this bad boy. Just a big old honkin’ exposed blade at the end of a swing arm. Guards? We don’t need no stinkin’ guards. It’s the original iteration of the radial arm saw, popular at sawmills among people who aren’t fazed by big, spinning death blades. Awesome restoration, as usual, by Hand Tool Rescue.
Looked out the window lately? The trees don’t seem to have any leaves on them. The bird bath is crusty in the morning. The lawn is the color of a sisal mat. Yup, it’s snowblower season! And what better way to kick it off than restoring an old blaster and setting it back to work.
Hoo boy, now there’s a job. A couple of jobs really. The helicopter pilot is aces, of course. Dude just hangs there. The men climbing on the high tension wires are built of different stuff than the rest of us, too. I’ll bet they get paid, man. Not as much as a Ruby on Rails developer, but pretty good, surely.
