Portable Power Actuated Rim-driven Annular Saw [Restoration]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ธ.ค. 2021
- THE ONE TRUE DANGER SAW! This 1949-patented portable power actuated rim-driven annular saw or "Sally Saw", as it was marketed, was born in the depths of hell to seek revenge upon its enemies. Once double-crossed by a half-man/half-tree hybrid, it now seeks for limbs of any kind. Luckily, as an amorphous blob-of-a-human-being, I alone posses the ability wield power over it.
Watch as I unravel this 1.5HP circular saw on a stick made by Cummings Machine Works of Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Have you ever wondered how it was all going to end? Your life, flashing before your eyes...OR ARE THOSE THE RED WOOD CHIPS FROM A LOG AND YOUR FOOT?
This 80lbs behemoth is made almost entirely of aluminum and tries as hard as it can to make sure you do not enjoy using it. The problem, it only makes me want to use it more. It has got me under its spell. I HAVE BECOME SALLY SAW, destroyer of worlds.
If you'd like to learn more about how I am a totally kid-friendly saw that would never hurt anyone and definitely didn't take over this channel:

@@AaBb-zj2ld he did !
Damnit, now I have to watch it a second time.
Yay!
For anyone wondering, these were made for cutting pulpwood. The ring blade is used so that the wood doesn't pinch the blade. They made chainsaw bars like that, too.
Thanks for that.

😊😊
The 80s family sitcom intro is what sets this channel above all other restoration channels.
I really love that you include the mistakes you made and point them out. It really adds to the fact that you restored this yourself and learned from them!
Very cool. The rim-driven blade is very similar to the ring saws we use for cutting concrete. Never would have guessed the technology was this old!
Old as the pyramids but let's pretend we didn't see those 9' radial saw cuts at Giza 😂
@@ANDunn-tf6xp HA! Good one! Something different was going on there for sure. Stones cut so precise you cannot insert a credit card in the cracks. It drives me nuts not knowing how they pulled that off. Just saying. It is channels like these that keep me learning! Just love it!
As a mechanical designer I can say that is one beautifully designed and built deathtrap. Every detail is textbook perfect. You coud teach a class with this design.
I have a feeling even Colin Furze would nope out on using it!
Even with his best safety tie?
Furze would launch the ring through a big pile of explosives
Nah. Furze would use it to dig his tunnel faster!
@@thomaslevy2119 Fantastic,Mr Furze!
Please tell me that first sentence was a setup to the Furze joke? The only class you could teach with this design is "Why Do We Have Health&Safety Laws". If this muppet had any scrap of decency or duty of care he'd have capped this rebuild off by welding the axle in place. It's a fascinating design, I grant you, but other than as a museum piece, building or owning this should be illegal.
This thing is *terrifying.* Something you'd expect to see mounted on a Mad Max battlewagon. Bravo on another fantastic piece of work!
WARBOYS! FU-KU-SHI-MA KA-MA CRAZY WARBOYS!
This is the sort of shit the Buzzards had on their huge spiked-out excavator when they were after the war rig in Fury Road
Did you notice that the blade rotates UP? Just how do you expect it to "kick back" when the blade is driving the saw down,,,,INTO the guide. (Where it rests while sawing.
Unless you change the laws of physics there is NO FRIGGIN WAY you could have this saw get away from you the way a chain saw does. In fact I see no way it can hurt you at all unless you stuck your hand or foot into the blade on purpose (while somebody else ran it for you. The blade is fully enclosed over like 270 degrees and the only open section is the approximately 90 degrees on axis that is AWAY from the operator. If you were a contortionist you couldn't get into the blade from the operator's position. .... The only thing I see is that blade needs a proper professional grinding.
The most dangerous part or the saw is the hot muffler. But I don't know anybody that would be stupid enough to touch it, but maybe you could get a snowflake to give it a try.
@@mathewmolk2089 are you ok, Matthew?
Thaaaank you. You get it. All these people fawning over the rebuild and you're the first to question the morality of trying this at all. Good for you, you're a cut above the rest.
What an incredible piece of equipment. I can't believe I just sat for an hour watching you. Impressive work - and your comments throughout are hilarious. Thanks for taking to time to put this together.
Much appreciated!
That was incredible. Felt more like a fantasy film of an alternate reality where nothing makes sense but everything still worksa. Awesomely shot as usual
By the way, FYI...yours is the channel by which I judge all other restoration videos, because....quite frankly...yours is the best!
Super awesome channel! No stupid music, commentary etc. Perfection! Everyone needs to surround themselves with real thinkers and intelligence.
Seeing it disassembled really shows how big of an undertaking this one was. Nice job.
I can only imagine what a nightmare it must have been to assemble/manufacture.
Wonderful, well done. No annoying music, brilliant, completely therapeutic and a joy to behold. Masterful indeed.
As I'm watching this there is a thunderstorm raging outside and I have a window cracked to keep the temperature where I can stand it. So, it's amazing to be watching this with all that background storm noise. It fits perfectly!
And the internet award for most unique and scary restoration ever goes too. Hand Tool Rescue! *insert applause sound*
You'd be a jacked jack using that every day at work.
This is possibly one of the coolest and most dangerous tools I've ever seen. I also got a bit of a chuckle from the "why the hell is this pin slotted like a screw" moment.
Edit: This is by far the best restoration channel, period. The subtleties of humor are fantastic and you'll miss them if you aren't maintaining eye contact.... ESTABLISH DOMINANCE!!
I chuckled too, but then realized the slot is to line up the hole for the cotter pin
@@abigailkim8632 Yes. I just ran into something similar last week. The cam pin in the bolt of a Benelli SBE3 has a slot that indicates the firing pin channel.
Oh, this is tame in comparison to the Drag saw he rebuilt the other year. Go to the end part 2 if you just wanna see the most dangerous equipment out there.
@@abigailkim8632 I've owned a couple of old leather sewing machines and at times I wished they had slotted pins for that exact reason!
@@Ravenousjoe yeah, this is shockingly safe if anything. The blade is only dangerous from the front. It it kicked back into the operator you’d get a bruise or concussion, not a looped off limb. If someone comes from the side the blade is still protected.
The lack of any real throttle is yikes. But on the whole it’s shockingly safe for the time.
I was looking at then bench with all the bits on it at 26:23 and I was all like "let's just walk away and pretend this didn't happen...". Remembering how to put this back together again and fully restoring this reveals just how amazing you are as an engineer. This must have been a very satisfying project and I applaud both your engineering skills and your production techniques which kept me entertained and watching right up to the end. Thanks for sharing this, you just got a sub ;)
This annular saw is really a very simple and robustly built.
These old 4-stroke motors that are basically early Kohler, Briggs & Stratton engines if not a Clinton. I'm sure other brands are different outside the states.
Level 10 Lego for sure
yeah the disassembly process was a little panic inducing to watch for me xD amazing.
I mean he has it all on tape.
@@Dueilangoisseus That is fair...but, i would for the life of me not find the parts in all of that xD even with photo evidence haha
This is an awesome restoration video. No music or chit chat. Just another workin' man working on another unsung hero's masterpieces! Kudos to you sir for your skill and ability to bring this piece back to life, and better than new, and my hat's off to the people who created the original molds for every piece of this puzzle the Invisible TOOL & DyE engineers
I was thinking the same. The patterns from which those parts were cast, kudos. Old school skill set, a joy to watch. Well done and thank you.
This needs to be added to at least a half dozen video games. That is crazy scary.
If someone had one in a movie It would be so over the top I would lose my ability to suspend my disbelief. Yet here it is and it is glorious!
Yes! It looks straight out of the Fallout universe. If they ever make a Fallout 5, this has to be in it!
lol this genuinely looks like a goof weapon out of one of the Saints Row games.

Was there one in that zombie type film where he goes all DOOM ETERNAL on a room full of zombies, I forgot the name of the film?
@@plasmaxer Braindead? The one with the lawn mower :)
The sheer build quality of this tool and the amount of engineering involved all in the name of an idea that was clearly insane!
Not nearly as insane as to put in all the beautiful work reconditioning it and to have it perform so poorly.
@@yvonnewilson3505 I get that, it was a beautiful job when finished.
Yeah it's amazingly well made. It would cost a fortune to make one now. It's interesting to see it working and how things have changed and evolved into the chainsaw. Which has pretty much stayed the same for a long time now
Whats actually insane is that they actually had to build it to realize how bad of an idea it is, in any way possible.
This weapon belongs in Doom
If more people had your attitude and sense of humor the world would be a much better place.❤
As an arborist I love saws.Your intro is the best in the game.
This is hands down one of the best restorations I have ever seen on any channel. Well done. Must of taken an eternity!
Thank you very much.
His beard grew like 1 cm or so.
The amount of machining that had to be done back in the day to get all of these parts together is astounding!
especially when most of the parts are castings...
Engineered to a fault
And I'm saying that as an engineer. Of course, good engineering avoids this kind of complexity and the use highly specialized custom parts whenever possible. This has the feel of "steam age" inventor-style machinery. Totally different approach to solving problems from what we're used to nowadays.
@@DrewskisBrews Absolutely, almost all modern solutions have better usability and on par in mechanical complexity. Lightness and ease of production have improved greatly!
Simply fantastic. Your meticulous attention to detail amazes me. Beautiful job.
The tongue out during engine adjustment was adorable!
This totally looks like a video game weapon. I am actually surprised to see a vintage power tool I've never seen or even heard of before. Great find, great restoration, great video! Definitely earned a sub!
Reminds me of the Mr. Handy Buzzblade from Fallout 76
Looks like something that has to be called "Demon Behader 2000" and put into Doom game
@@zufieusagi7509 yeah! Never knew it was based off a real tool
@@Rc-crawlerbuilder Same, i mean sure the buzz blade uses a buzz saw style blade instead of this ring blade but other than that I'd say this is the spitting image for the "real" Mr. handy buzz blade.
@@zufieusagi7509 j p u m
Ah the good old days of "let's put a motor on a saw and let Darwin sort out the rest"! That is an insane but awesome machine. It's just fun to try and wrap my head around these contraptions, considering that I teach chainsaw technique and safety. Good work as always!
I’m pretty sure that tool is only meant for plumbers to trim up concrete.
How does somebody so ignorant have the authority to teach anybody a gd thing let alone safety??? You're a real special little guy, sport!!
It looks like what would happen if you asked Joerg Sprave to make a lethal version of a man-catcher.
Darwin or Murphy?
Aaaaaaand now they put tracks on them so we can ride them.....
I greatly appreciate your finds, writings, comedy and closed captioning.
It's the little added touches and sound effects that make your videos so entertaining!
This is without a doubt, the most impressive restoration I've ever seen! Thank you for all of your efforts!
Thank you very much!
@@HandToolRescue looks good maybe try a sharper blade?
I'm really glad nothing happened while testing this glorious and well restored beast, since there wouldn't be any possible way to explain it to any insurance. Wonderful video 😂👍👍
except for the video evidence
"Explain it to any insurance" ??? see: th-cam.com/video/zZUJLO6lMhI/w-d-xo.html The Bricklayer's Lament!
Just wow. The fact that you could completely disassemble, repair, restore and reassemble that contraption is astonishing. My hat is off to you sir.
You Sir are an artist as well as an exceptional Engineer! Thank you for allowing us to participate in this fantastic conservation of a tremendously overbuilt relic.
That power saw is insane. Game developers must be making models already!
Its very similar to the Auto Axe from the Fallout 3: The Pitt and Fallout 76. And it actually fits the 1950's aesthetic of Fallout 4.
*Takes aggressive notes*
There is a weapon in the game Dead Space 2 that fires saw blades at high speed.
An excerpt from the wiki:
"Designed to hack and slice through solid rock, the RC-DS Remote Control Disc Ripper is an extremely dangerous tool. In less skilled hands, it's an accident waiting to happen, ejecting incredibly sharp diamond-coated tungsten blades at up to 17,000 RPM to cut through anything in front of it."
@@SneakyLittleHobbit ah yes I remember now. I have played D.S 1 and 2 and loved them for the most part.
I really appreciate the CC commentary throughout. Kudos to you for taking on a project that had a serious injury potential to you due to its weight and uncomfortable usage positioning. I am glad you weren't badly hurt during the testing.
The astonishing thing is that they thought they needed something like this. And the amount of work put into it. Good job restoring it by the way. Thanks for the video.
I read the patent for it - here is why its an "annular saw" - there is less of the blade in the wood when cutting fresh soft wood in summer when its wet and very gummy and you dont have a very powerful engine. They even did annular chain saws! They did not have the modern steels so chainsaws blunted very quickly, they did not run at high speed cos the steel could not cope with the temperatures so they gummed up very badly of pine. They were mostly 2 people saws.
Great job Eric! Incredible tool that is overbuilt but underperforming!
Perfect description! 🤣😆
I once co-owned a small engine repair shop and i have never seen an engine like this one. Nice find
What's so weird about it? I'm not an engine expert so idk.
It isn’t that it is so weird but the size and shape of it made me think it was two stroke until he removed the head. The smaller an engine is it is worse to have a four stroke engine as it only produces power on one engine stroke where as a two stroke produces power for every stroke of the crank but they pollute the air so much more because of the fuel oil mix.
@@JMassengill i also got the impression it was a two stroke because he was talking something about oil fuel mix, maybe it was in the captions
It's a Lauson (pronounced "law son"), a real masterpiece in cost reduction. Notice the weird tappet arrangement and camshaft/gear combo. Also no valve clearance adjusters, the ends of the valve stems were ground for clearance. Yet they still have ball bearing mains! Many were even Glyptal painted inside to lock casting impurities in, and some featured an oil sump with a little plunger pump actuated off the crank that pumped oil into a dish for the slinger on the bottom of the rod.
I love his mind just melting at all the odd design choices, like the random screw, the slotted pin, the internally and externally threaded gear.
Oh I dunno, if you're driving the slotted pins out what else would you use but a screwbie, saves blattering the head of the pin and mushrooming it. on the other foot slotting suggests unscrewing sooo....
I'd guess the slot is so you can align the hole for the cotter pin
Fantastic. It is Saturday evening and we should go out, but i am sitting here, glued to the TV watching your work... 👍👍👍
What a BEAUTIFUL piece of ART !!!
I think the blade would greatly benefit from being sent to a professional saw filer!
Scary machine, good job!
Any morally conscious saw filer that received this blade would shatter it to scrap or melt it down. It's an idiotic machine that is needlessly overpowered, horrifically dangerous, and a worse solution for literally any task than the chainsaws of the day, never mind the modern chainsaw.
@@InservioLetum A professional saw filer doesn't just trash his customer's tools lol.
@@InservioLetum When the Sally saw was patented, chainsaws were still two-man contraptions you had to move around on wheels. So, no.
@@InservioLetum you are such a maroon. Wow. Stop commenting.
This is quite possibly the most fascinating old tool ive ever seen! Has a Joules Vern look to it! Look at all the machined parts it took to create it! A MASTERPIECE OF ENGINEERING!
Tillotson ML1B carburetor . Manufactured 1950thru 1952. Used on Lauson engines. Beautiful restoration.!!
This was so awesome to watch. I really have no idea how you remembered how everything went back together. You've got skills man! Keep up the great videos and restorations!!
That is why he is recording. So he can check the video. What we see here is edited version.
Edit : After I watched all the video, I understand what you mean. None of the parts in that machine are similar to these days machines. Interesting screws and etc.
This is beyond knowledge even for a former repairmen.
Probably documenting offscreen as he takes it apart
There is a hell of a lot of engineering in that design. Amazing.
I don't get all the comments on how it's so dangerous. You have a solid blade that is mostly covered by a safety shield with a long guide bar and you're well behind the blade. A chainsaw on the other hand is a long, fully exposed cutting chain that can break and whip around at high speed.
Granted that with modern engines you could probably drop the weight of that saw in half and increase it's horsepower at the same time. I think it's an awesome piece of design. The gearing alone is a work of art.
Because they all want to be edgy. No pun.
Yes, I don't get all the fear of this tool either. Looks way safer to use than using a skill saw.
For those questioning the sanity of this design, it's to allow you to cut a large diameter log without needing an impractically large and dangerous circular saw blade. If you want to cut a 10" diameter log, your blade needs to be more than twice that diameter. You run into real problems with gyroscopic forces and friction. This design, with it's solid and enclosed blade is *far* safer than a chain saw. The only real problem is the difficulty in creating a driving mechanism for the blade. I could see the possibility of modern electronics being able to drive that blade like an induction or BLDC motor without the noisy gearing.
I would agree with you. This blade could be cnc cut ( one could even cut a 12 inch carbide tip blade and cnc plasma or waterjet cut it. ) along with all of the housing and a cordless tool could be made. Most of the housing is pretty easy to build. The idle gears would be easy as well. You would only need to build one main gear either direct or 90 degree gearbox. Would be a simple tool for cutting a lot of stuff.
Nothing worse than gyroscopic forces preventing you from making a curved cut with your 22" diameter saw blade...
Safer than a chainsaw? I'd hate to see your chainsaw.
The front of the ring cutter can be covered by two swinging spring-loaded shields / guards that fold inward, as the blade is pushed into the log. If these shields are also serrated opposite the direction of ring rotation, they reduce kickback and rotation of the tool or log as it cuts. The shields can be latched closed so that they don't open to expose the blade until the driving clutch is engaged.
You really sold me on it. Lemme just dust off my checkbook
FYI at 30:27 in the subtitles/cc, he wrote that he “likes to think of each video as somewhat of a living breathing video patent” to have on the internet for anyone who might want to restore these tools in the future … I think that’s a really cool (and invaluable) concept
[and yeah I have legit diagnosed OCD so I had no choice but to sit through and read _all_ of the supplemental subtitles haha. I def recommend them for anybody who wants to get a more thorough picture of this whole process - you can also just read the full transcript as it’s available under the video description]
One day this man's work will be in museums hundreds of years from now if we don't end up giving Ukraine all our money 😂
All of your restorations are top notch. What gets me is how do you remember where all the assorted parts go back in. Awesome.
The video he takes is for reference to figuring out what goes where and when. He puts it on here when he's done and throwing it in the trash. :)

That restoration was absolutely incredible. A friend of mine has a Sally Saw and he needs to see this video. You did an amazing job.
when the zombies come, you'll be happy to have that friend.
This was a very enjoyable hour + spent watching a rare tool being restored on a wing and a prayer, primarily due to its lack of available information on it. Judging by your excellent skills and understanding of engineering, the total cost of your hourly restoration must have outweighed the original cost of the machine. This is the true definition of a fully restored machine and i for one sir applaud you.
yeah... i am fairly certain he would charge more than $25 for this

Awesome restoration. Love seeing Old machinery come back to life. Even though it's dangerous!👍
For some reason, those Elmo smiles will never get old 😃😀😃😀

This is the MOST AMAZING project I've seen you do here,the Details of this machine for its time period is spectacular! a company producing fine craftsmanship on this detailed level is 👏 3thumbe up.
Beautiful work with everything including the camera and editing work. The shaft sanding was something to behold lol.
pfffffheheh. I was just still stumbling over the name a little and .. shaft sanding. Okay. Can't wait to see this one. Monster motorized saw of death with a few innuendos thrown in. Edit: Can't make this stuff up. I just read the description and saw the name of the company.
the best part was rubbing it faster when spotted to assert dominance
Yeah the eye contact mid shaft sand was something to behold
That must have been expensive brand new!
$3000 is today's cash!
The amount of manufacturing that went into that is astounding. So many specialized parts, all drafted by6 hand and machined by hand, not CAD to CNC
@@asbestosfiber especially when most of the parts are castings...
And how much would a new chain saw cost that does exactly the same job
An arm and a leg.
When I was a boy I knew an old man who was a logger and later in life an engineer. He had a collection which included one of these and he explained them to me once. According to him this saw was designed primarily for limbing and especially bucking, particularly in prep work at lumber mills and paper mills. Most chainsaws of the first half of the 20th century were larger two-man affairs used for felling. There were handheld single-man chainsaws of the time but they were harder to control, and (especially when used for bucking) prone to kickback and binding. They also needed frequent maintenance and adjustment and broke chains frequently. These sally saws were designed as a safer alternative which allowed comparatively quicker more efficient work, were lower maintenance, and didn't have as much trouble with control and jamming up when pinched but advances in chainsaws rendered them obsolete very quickly. If this saw was invented a decade or two earlier it might have had a better use case for some time but it was a little late to the game.
Gratulation, aber welch ein Aufwand fuer solch eine Technik-auch wenn es sehr aufwendig und mechanisch sehr anspruchsvoll gestaltet ist!
Tolle Maschine, ich bin beeindruckt. Weiter so😅!!!
What a totally reasonable and incredibly not entirely unsafe tool! There are only a few things that could go wrong using it. Prosthetic limbs are quite fashionable I hear, so using this saw could change your life and make you popular
At the very least it'll get you a guaranteed seat on the bus.
Gives all new meaning to the term "limb saw".
😳🤫😂😂
I’m so impressed by the fact that you got all those parts back together again and had it running perfectly!!
Why ? he FILMED it ! Just look at film again to see where each part fits.

You should open a museum for all these tools, I would happily run it for you.
A half hour operating that thing and my arms would fall off. Sally must have been a beast.
This is work of the absolute highest quality, very very impressive. You have all my respect. An outstandingly successful restoration that certainly took a lot of time and effort.
Thank God for modern chainsaws, and that such life-threatening wood-cutting machines are now only in museums and cause people to shake their heads.
With best regards from Germany.
56:15 at first I didn't get your description of an "externally threaded gear" but now it all makes sense! What a unique mechanism - I've never seen that combination of features before.
Truly an amazing piece of machinery and engineering.Well done!!!
Incredible rebuild and what a monster of a dangerous "tool"! Now I know what a "Sally Saw" is and thankful I never had to use one!
Well. Now i understand why there has been no video for a while. Once again you have done an awesome job. That saw i hope goes to an museum. The engineering that went into this is like nothing we have today.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen you use a power drill to remove any type of bolts. I love your videos.
I mean what is this, *_Power Tool Rescue?!_* heh heh... I think not! /s
The end had me dying. You calmly set it down and then just walk out of the room and re-evaluate your whole life. Wise choice my friend. That shit is nuts
You'd swear this guy built all these machines 🤣🤣 how is it that he knows every machine or device like the back if his hand this man is always ahead of the of the problem ready to quash is AMAZIIIIING
perfect timing, just got my first old lawnmower engine to restore, inspired this channel and repair-a-thon. I would have just pulled it to bits. Mark the setting of the timing and turns from full in of the carb jets. Great tips. Nice gaskets.
That is one scary looking saw. I've watched my grandfather single-handedly wield a large two-man chain chain saw, and this was far scarier. That thing is evil!
Nice job on the resto, though.
An engineer once told me "the best part, is no part" this was insane engineering at the time, and I'm studying so many books that design and develop ideas and past creations. We wont go back into the dark.. if the light of the atom occurs.
God Bless the Men that had to use that thing for a Living. You did a Wonderful job restoring it, it’s Beautiful!
The legend himself returns with a legendary restoration!
I was wondering why it had been so long since his last upload. Now I know lol good lord this probably took a month to do if not more
This thing looks like a weapon of war! Outstanding content as usual!
I’m so impress the work that makes me think that they were genuine. This was made by hand 🖐 and a lot of screws. I can’t wait to see it work and what it does in the end
Crazy how a fraction of a mm of that is the difference between it working perfectly and not working at all. How do u get to be so knowledgeable abt any machine that u can sus out the issue that easily?? Bravo
There’s a special kind of zen in watching you disassemble this old tool!
I would venture to say it is magical ,thinking in how it will be put together again !
Thanks so much for this vid ! Blessing !
Ohhh my god what a journey that was. I do believe that is the second most dangerous thing you've ever restored lmao
I still think the swing-saw is more dangerous. God it's a wonder loggers in the 18-1900's even lived as much as they did.
Buddy, seriously. It's genuinely a wonder that old-tyme logging didn't kill every second man that did it. My great-grandpa was one of those dudes, first doing bush forestry as a young man in the 20s-40s then as a plant supervisor at a lumber mill. He saw some *shit* , let me tell you. You know what happens when a man falls into a very, very large chipper? Just gone, barely enough bits to fill a coffee can. He saw that, happened right in front of him. I've done some hard, crappy jobs but I can guarantee 100% I would not have cut it (lol) as a lumberman in the early 20th century.
"How was work today, honey?"
"Not great, Bill went into the chipper. Dumbass."
*NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE*
@@HANKTHEDANKEST Lives were a lot cheaper if you look back only a hundred years. Even 50 or 60 years back companies could get away with shit we find totally insane today. There are still some very dangerous jobs that we haven't been able to automate or eliminate, but they are a lot less common today. Fortunately there are a group of people who are born with what could be called slightly defect fear response in that they crave a certain degree of perceived danger. And if they can't find a job that provides this kick they often get into extreme sports and just straight up dare devil stunts.
I've worked some pretty sketchy jobs when I was young but I never felt a rush from doing them. It was just work, and some times you had to do some things where you knew a mistake could have been the last one you ever made. That was just the way things were. And compared to the stories my father could tell my jobs were tame.
There is a museum of logging in Michigan's upper pennisula and one of the way that men could die was by being sliced with a cable. They had cables a mile long that were used to drag huge logs from out of the forest. If a log got caught on something and you were nearby when the cable snapped... oof!

@@katemoon7476 Unfortunately I am way to familiar with late night TV shows, don't ask why, and amongst those they are currently showing one about logging crews in Alaska or Canada, or where ewer, I just use them as background noise.
Well turns out they are still using cables like that in some logging operations, and though they do love to play up the drama it's certainly dangerous handling those cables. Something that I can't help but wonder is if all the communication failures are real or just how many are faked to play up the drama. I mean I can't even remember the number of times I've heard the words "The damned radios out again!" in these shows. Whatever the case it illustrates just how dangerous a lack of communication is. If a log jams when dragged the winch has to be stopped immediately or things can go bad real quick.
Back before cheap and reliable radios were common communication was done using horns, signal flags, wired clickers or any other way people could come up with. But it seems today most of these techniques has fallen out of favor and few loggers are comfortable using them. It's extra dangerous when the winch operator isn't aware that the radio at the other end no longer works.
And if the cable doesn't kill you there's hundreds of other ways you can get yourself killed with all the heavy equipment, chain saws and piles of logs all over the forest.
Damn I guess having the TV going in the background kind of sneaks information into your brain even if you don't actively watch it.
Kind of depressing considering just how many crap shows they air...
Splendid job restoring that annular saw. I have never seen a saw like that. Great work.
You are not garbage dude. You're a legend! Well done!
The machine in the video so resembles a "ring saw"They are made by Partner Tools and Husquavarna today.The idea of these is the blade is driven by its inner rim from the engine or motor.Gives you a deeper cut than if the blade was driven by an an arbor hole in the center of the blade.These machines are used in fire and rescue work and masonry-concrete fabrication.
Well I'll be damned. I looked them up and ace hardware sells the the Husqvarna for $4k
Seeing this tool makes me appreciate modern chainsaws that do not threaten to sever your gluteus maximus (as much) when cutting a simple branch. Also, controversial opinion: maybe this is a hand tool that did not need to be rescued :)
Like bringing a dinosaur back to life lol
If we do not learn about the mistakes of the past and learn from them then we are bound to repeat them. I'd buy and restore it regardless because its soooo cool and unique
Ему просто хотелось восстановить данный агрегат.
@@SavedbyHim He was so preoccupied with whether or not he could that he didn't stop to think if he should. :)
@@rleeAZ Oh. Sure. "Ooh. Ahh." That's how it always starts. Then later comes the running and the screaming.
I love watching your videos.. I usually don't have captions on.. tonight I do: thank you! We can see even more of your personality in just what you write!! lol!! Love you!🙃
I love watching you restore engines
Very nice work, as usual! The screwdriver slot on the idler gear/roller pins provides a means of aligning the cotter pin hole.
This thing looks like some kind of insane retro sci-fi weapon from Warhammer 40K. The "unique in a bad way" construction of the whole thing seems like it was the brainchild of an inexperienced and/or unsupervised engineer who was also the son of the boss, so nobody dared tell him "No, we shouldn't build this monstrosity." Great job dealing with this Machine That Should Not Be.
Gotta love it when on the one hand the old tools have some amazingly cool features, and on the other they have screwdriver slots on the top of smooth pins...
This is super impressive. The parts never stop coming
I saw this video and I was intrigued by the tool wondering how well it worked. I thought that I would watch a little of the restoration and then go to the end to watch it work. Well, I became fascinated with the restoration work and I watched the whole video while eating dinner in front of my computer. I am really impressed with the ability of the mechanic. It was fun to watch.
didn't know this saw existed excellent job restoring such a unique machine a pleasure to watch keep up the great work
Thanks for your effort, skills and the best intro ever.
You and ViceGrip Garage and Adam Savage are outstanding! Oh and Taryl Fixes All. He does not miss a thing on procedures either. Just think I used to write letters to home in the 80's with a typewriter. Ironically though I am going to put it back into use to label my 8 Track tape recording labels. Yes, using blank 8 track tapes to records to. No software needed and they actually sound great with rebuilt gear! Time machine fun!
Beautiful work, as always. I felt for you every moment watching piece by piece go on after the valve and gear issue in the engine. Those small errors are so frustrating when they happen.
Easily the best Sally Saw restoration video I’ve seen all day
You are a very skilled mechanical guy! Beautiful job!
