Check out this link. It is an Historic sawmill that is making the spars and some timbers for the restoration of the "C.A. Thayer"..

Thanks
That was absolutely amazing! I wonder if the blade was toothed on both edges just for clearing debris or for some other reason like backing out of a log.
But I guess the real mystery is how they keep OSHA out of there. I’ve seen them load up a shop with so many fines that they had to close the doors for good.

Historic status: OSHA must ensure that "reasonable steps" are taken to prevent injury and can be implemented in such a way as to not degrade the historical signifigance of the structure. Furthermore, Journeymen and apprentices must be directly trained on operating machinery peculiar to the operation and all modern safety gear (to include goggles, helmets, kill switches etc.) must be installed, operational and maintained as such.
