- DannyBee 8y agoIf you want to scare yourself some time, watch the shingle sawyers do this with power tools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDKYGoIoukg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDKYGoIoukg
- jaggederest 8y agoThat's interesting, but riving them with a shingle axe looks faster to me. At least the guys I've seen do it. And there's no wasted material, or very little at least, compared to a saw kerf. (An example here, not using a shingle axe but a froe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FjpmFwVLtM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FjpmFwVLtM )
- defen 8y agoI had to stop when it got to the guy casually smoking a cigarette and manipulating logs while not looking as they came out of the 2-foot-diameter spinning blade of death.
- DannyBee 8y agoThere's a video somewhere that's even worse, where the guy is also doing the 2 foot diameter blade by hand as well instead of it being autofed.

- oh5nxo 8y agoThe wood looks like somewhat dried aspen, not the worst to chop. Not to dismiss her skill, at all.
