I had one of these. Used it once. Then sold it. I didn't have a need for it. I cut all my wood to length as I'm cutting it up. Nice display and video. Great work!
@@Jason1Pa I'm a sucker for the way it used to be done 😂 I probably will use this unit mostly for cutting up slab wood bundles I get from a local saw mill. I actually do like using it better than a chainsaw. I've got a old Home lite XL with a 20 inch bar and a full chisel chain
@MrVintageRestoration I can see cutting slabs up or if a tree company dumps miscellaneous sizes off to cut it with one,but for me Im just down in the woods going at it its better to cut it length and not handle it again.
@@kevinfiebelkorn4715 and thank you for watching and commenting! Life has definitely been busy here at our little homestead, but I've got a big new video coming out on the 28th of this month. My goal is atleast one video a month 🙂 fingers crossed, I can do it
Nice demonstration, thank you. I am imagining what tools were available in this era. Chain saws would be much less common, and a lot heavier. this would have been a helpful tool for the farmer.
@@wavekube4343 your most welcome! Yes, in this time frame chainsaws were very uncommon. Many early chainsaws look more like a 5hp Briggs and Stratton with a bar, and are equally as heavy and unwieldy. This buzz saw will handle up to 12" pieces. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe!
@@neilkratzer3182 I 💯 agree! Especially if you have two people. One to feed it and one to catch/throw the drop! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe, were always working on something round here 😀
You appear to have all your body parts. But the wiggle in that feed makes me think of the blade catching a log in the cross feed (as it racks a bit) and throwing it. I did this once on a table saw using a cross feed. A four by four about three feet long was thrown hard. It missed my head -just- and put a hole in the wall.
@@MrVintageRestorationmy dad was an eye surgeon. He treated “foreign bodies” in the eyes frequently. Use that cord wood saw wisely with safety glasses on. I was in construction as a project director and also was keenly aware of safety glasses preventing eye injuries
@davemilster you are a 💯 correct. Normally I wear my hearing and eye protection. For whatever reason I forgot my glasses when I did this video. Careless on my part, but I got lucky this time
@@taylorsutherland6973 it definitely could happen, I have a blade missing a tooth hanging on my garden fence. Typically I don't line myself up with the blade but some it it is for better camera angles for demonstration. Excellent safety point

Glad to see you again. It's been a while.

Thanks Ian! Fun little project, big video coming out on the 28th this month 😉
@MrVintageRestoration will look forward for that
Used one of those saws for years to cut up limbs. Faster than the chain saw

@@jamesstrawn6087 yes, all body parts accounted for. You definitely want to use common sense and care as any saw can be dangerous.
Listen to your wife. She is a smart lady. You will shoot your eye out
😂 gotta live a little dangerously 😅

Yikes! All i can think about is a tooth flying off that blade. Id never line my body up with it.
