  • @CivilWarBBQ Nah, I'm his nephew and used to run that saw. It ate blades for breakfast. They would usually last 4-6 hours and then SNAP! Never even came close to hitting me and I was about 5 feet from the blade. It would scare you pretty good tho, sounded like a gun shot when it broke.

  • I have been to this sawmill many times, Steve is a genius in bib overalls. He built this contraption and it is a sight to see when it is up and cutting lumber. Atta boy Steve :~)

  • Yikes! I wouldn't stand withing a hundred feet of that monster when it was running. When that blade snaps, somebody is gonna lose body parts.

  • I loved the video! Awsome job and story! So much to learn in 1 video about a log!

  • That cypress log would have made an awesome dugout canoe.

  • My former boss man, Wesley Weaver, would love this......
