  • Before electricity and electrical refrigeration arrived in rural America in the 1930s, farms across Pennsylvania relied on harvesting their own ice from farm ponds to meet their refrigeration needs through the spring and summer.

    He has the handle in the wrong position. It’s supposed to be parallel to the blade. You stand on the side of the saw when cutting so you don’t get covered in water when you pull back on the saw. We still cut ice every year in Raquette lake NY.

    heard they only had a 10% loss when storing the ice in the basement during summer

    Saw this done once for a commercial fisherman back in the 60's. It was March and the ice was over 2 ft thick.

    I wonder what kind of shoes they wore. It would have been dreadful to slip into such a small inlet while working! That aside. Those damned kids kept screaming. Would love to see an adult only viewing.

    What kind of saw is that? And how would one score the ice without that contraption? Basically asking how one would do this nowadays without a chainsaw?
