"optional" belt guard, Really? It makes me shiver when I picture my thumb between the belt and the pulley.

Holy hell, this saw gives you multiple ways to maim yourself...

Kenny Loggins approves!

Seems like no hands should be anywhere near this weapon.

Wow! That's awesome! These bearings are still good!

My dad worked at Timken for 46 years. I was there for 10. They were founded in 1899. They invented the Tapered Roller Bearing.

"perfect halloween murder tool" I'll drink to that.

Thanks for making this video on a tool that I remember seeing in the 1950's, at a lumberyard in my home town. At the time it was state of the art. The lumberyard owner was bragging it up as something that would change the world. Later my dad said that that saw would end up hurting someone. Sure enough, a yard worker took off his thumb with it a few months later.

Hand Tool Rescue

Hahaha, glad you liked that part! I want to do more acid etching in the future.

Hand Tool Rescue

It's only unsafe if you turn it on!

So much of his hurts my brain.

All the cool kids have a Weltrekord Ratchet Screwdriver.

Where is Vincent Price?? Where does the mill worker get attached to the table as the pendulum swings... ever closer?

Looks like it would be excellent for sawing up political signs in a few weeks.

For what it's worth, I went looking on Google to find photos of how one of these would be mounted in a sawmill, and the second page listed under "swing saw" was the OSHA safety page: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/woodworking/swing_cutoff.html. It does have some good advice about how to use this safely -- namely, treat it like a propeller and don't stand in the plane of action.

The Wire Wheel is Dead! Long Live the Wire Wheel!

Someone similar to the guy that first attached teeth to a bicycle chain, wrapped it lengthwise around a bar, stuck it on a gas engine & sells it to people?

Stephen Boots

Insane!

Who puts a giant spinning wheel of death on a swing and sells it to people??

OK——-I do like your voice 🥰

Eric, you definitely set the pace on professional restorations - loved how you recreated the brass horseshoe angle indicator!👍🏼. On the entertainment side, my new favorite film element is the Gregorian changing of the wire wheel. We were all deeply moved!!!
