Somebody sawing wood. I can't help but feel that the blades must have been really blunt - I've seen two men with a really sharp two man saw cut through logs as fast as someone with a chainsaw. This rig was not up to that speed by a large amount!! |
The bowl making machine. This machine was fed a length of 8 x 2 inch timber and using two large cutters made wooden bowls in about a minute. One cutter dug out the "top" of the bowl, and then another cutter shaped the base, and nearly removed it from the stock. |

A line up of 3 John Deere powered icecream trailers. Each trailer has an engine is powering 2 icecream makers. Large quantities of ice were used. The end product was for sale at the table behind. |
Getting ready to remove another batch of icecream. It was $2.50 a scoop, so I didn't bother. |
|
|
|
| Prepping a log ready to start cutting it. Gee that's a blade!!!! |
Feeding a log into the blade. The engine governor opens some, but it just chugs a bit harder. |
