The speed that big log went through the saw was extremely impressive.

Seriously thinking about building my own log pond now!

Awesome...LOTS of dangerous stuff going on there.

I tried to embed....some kind of "iframe" tags appearing...not sure what that means.

And I just read the article....fascinating...a look into some very old ways of doing things. Cool to see that they still use the old systems.
