Why does this machine exist? It's ungodly. He was cutting on the slowest speed, how big of a log could there possibly be to justify running it at full speed? No. Make it stop.
Yes this is a monster of a saw machine. No mercy. If it was never made we wouldn't have learned from it and evolved to better and safer saw machines. For me it looks like a mixed steam engine and an early diesel engine. Surprisingly it runs on petrol (gas)
You won't have many people 'wanting a go' with that saw at shows! It's a fantastic result, the fact that it runs at all is down to a lot of hard work, sir. Thank you for letting us see its restoration and the 'Whoa there!' effect of it running. Cheers Erzzi!
That thing is just begging for flesh and the tears of a widow. It's fascinating, but I'm glad someone like HTR documented this for our enjoyment at a safe distance.
Oh my god, I was laughing so hard at the end. That saw is the most preposterously dangerous machine I've ever seen. I applaud your restoration skill and your courage!
It was made before the word "Safety" was introduced into the dictionary. Instead of an on/switch, it has a killing/not killing switch. 😄 When my Great-grandpa died we found a generator from the 1930's in the back of his shed. It looks similar to this machine but without the death attachment. With all the noise and motion it made, it only produced enough electricity for one shop light. 😄
later in the news: "A local man was seen today with a contraption that can only be described as "Satans Saw" After 4 hours of devastation to the surrounding forest, officers were able to get close enough to converse with the man. He simply yelled "The stop button has fallen off!" more on this story at 10. But first, Nutella. Delicious grease or simply a sandwich filler?"
This was awesome. I used to see old engines running at Altamont Fair in Upstate NY. Was amazed but never appreciated the intricacies that I discover when watching a rebuild. Amazing.
Right on the spot. Also, I learned somewhat more hearing and seeing the work at the machine than just reading captions (and we have such good captions here)

What an incredibly beautiful machine in both aesthetic and practical values and a genuine look at the high level of risk associated with the logging industry. You did a really fantastic job using smart, step-by-step methodology and showing seriously high respect for its power and potential to abbreviate one's existence, limb by freaking limb. Best wishes and stay healthy.
I love the sound of a hit-and-miss engine at low RPM. The flywheel will keep the engine spinning and it will only fire when the RPM gets too low so it can go several strokes without firing. The sound you were hearing when it sounded like it was dying is normal for this type of engine. The governor will hold open the exhaust valve and stop the engine from firing when at operating RPM. The intake valve is actuated by suction in the cylinder so when the exhaust valve is open the intake valve is not able to pull in air and fuel. Once the rpm drops enough the ignition and exhaust valve reengage just long enough to get the flywheel back up to speed and then shut off again. These engines can idle at a really low RPM's. Great restoration as always.
Though sketchy af... that is an absolutely beautiful machine. Thank you for sharing not only this process, but all of your restoration work. it is truly a joy to watch these forgotten machines come back to life no matter how large(power hammer) or small. Keep up the good work.
All I learned from this was that old machines run on Nutella and not to buy too long cotter pins. Seems like an overly complicated device just to boil water.
Great to hear your voice! I’ve always enjoyed your sense of humour. Hearing what you were thinking on the choices you made really added to the video. Thanks for sharing another great one.
Just think of the person or persons that have been bucking up trees into logs with a hand saw. Going to a show and seeing something that will do the same job and thinking to themself how much more work you can get done in a day. I have watch old logging video's of one person babysitting three of these style of saws. We call them dangerous they called it progress. Thank you for all the work put into repairing and making video's for all of us to watch.👍👍 Good to see this saw running again well done.

Noot noot!!!
this has got to be the coolest restore video on the tube because of what it is and age and size,great show thanks.
Could you imagine putting in an 8 hr shift with this thing? Awesome video man love the content you put out.
8 hours would be a Sunday shift after church normally it was like 14+ hours
Amazing machine! I have a fascination with these early gas engine powered contraptions.
That saw is way scarier than “Saw” the movie.
I'm imagining Christine but this saw instead of a car
Thank you so much for posting this and letting us watch you restore it. It was very enjoyable as well as reading all the comments.
holy shit when you started actually sawing the log :D even I stood back a bit

@@HandToolRescue HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME DEAL WITH YOUR BRASS GREASE CUP FETISH ..... IM INCENSED....LOL nice work mate

Satan called, he's jealous and wants to know where he can pick one up.
Such a beautiful machine. Thanks for keeping a bit of history alive
Fully expect to see this in some sort of horror movie soon.... bloody hell, l'm betting the lack of specs is due to the death of the inventor.
Just wanted to say thank you very much. I had a bad day and your rebuild brought joy to my heart, cheers from California.
33:25 If there was ever a better time for you to laugh maniacally and shout "It's alive", I don't know when it would be.
What a fantastically complicated yet simplistic design, love this so much
When men were men and trees were Nervous.
You should hang an old rusty cup off the side,
When people at shows ask what its for throw a
teabag into the cooling water and stare at them.
Awesome job. Bringing History back to life!!!
I've heard those hand circular saws of that size referred to as widow makers.
If those are widowmakers, this is the Hitler of deathtraps vaguely disguised as saws
I am enjoying this series. Unfortunately, I don't watch unnarrated videos. It is fun to see these old machines come to life. Nice work.
This thing is probably more dangerous than juggling chainsaws.
Definately love seeing old tools come back to life.
That one though could rest in peace if you ask me.

I definately would not want to work with it...haha😉
Is this actually less safe than a chainsaw? I mean yikes that thing is wild!
You could run away from that and never speak of it again since its chained to the tree. A chainsaw will find you in your sleep.
J R this thing jumps around enough to break free of its chains
Outstanding piece of historic machinery incredibly brave to have operated such great machinery
“For the 137 year in a row, I’m pleased to announce, the host of the Darwin Awards, Antique Drag Saw!”
I loved hearing the narration, I may have to buy a membership to hear it more often.
