Anything comming within 3 feet of that thing is subjet to changing size and shape.

I thought we were going to see the 'folly' of growing a long beard and operating machinery! Thankfully we weren't.

Be unnatural and shave every day!

Looked like a very safe procedure and fingers...., well, they were in a very safe distance from that blade.

i think i'd be more concerned about kickback :lol:

 

[Benchwayze]

Depends on who is giving the kickback, and what form it takes! :lol:

If his ZZ top womb broom went in I think he'd be glad of a bit of kickback!

Nice to see a Model A still working 70 years on but you'da thunk they could have come up with some kind of chute or wedge to move the shingles clear of the teeth.

'Murricans for ya!

The american ones are usually sawn with a slight taper, you cant see it but the saw tilts the log alternatively top & bottom so the shingle is cut with a taper.

Love the way he leans over towards the blade to take a measurement. Lose your footing - lose your head. :roll:

Forget the shingles, I want to know what Jason was searching for on Trukluver's YouTube page... :shock:

There is some very intresting old machinery being used, It certainly doesnt come up to our current saftey standards, but it makes a very good job in the right hands
This is intresting to watch and seems to be used very sensibly
