Better one!
 
I've seen a lot of electric fences in my time.
Been shocked by them more than several times.
I saw this one and thought it was picture-worthy.

Do ya' think this one is serious?....

Can't drink beer and use this.

I built one before they outlawed them in the 80's. They are extinct now (illegal).
Cut wood standing up with one hand instead of bending over. No sore back.
Works like this:

I LOVE that video!
Watched it a bazillion times and still laugh.
Not to be outdone by Uber's new self-driving Air-Taxi, the guys in Dubai have developed a faster, cheaper way:
Dubai Air Taxi:

It still needs a little work, but shows great promise:rolleyes:.

*The credit goes to Fundy for this.

I wonder if the crash test dummy lived... :good luck:
Yes he did.
This video so freaked out the 'non-thinking' that they had to put up an explanation that, yes my little snowflakes, it is fake.... but it's a very good one:D.
The people in Dubai have plenty of money to play with.
(the guy kicking his legs in the seat- genius!)
It's the front half of a commercial on TV.

Had some experience with the ole bow saw. Working in the log woods and they put me on the deck to cut the timber into the required length. Bucked up on me about twice and I laid her down.( man working next to me had a terrible scar on his neck from almost cutting his head off with one.) Wound up operating a cable tractor and worked my way up to a grapple tractor. Worst 30 days of my life.

And that's the reason they are extinct.
They require learning to use. Like you can't just pick up a cello and expect to play a cello concerto by Elgar.
Once you learn it however, you can make beautiful music that is impossible with any other saw.
I can easily cut twice as much as a guy with a straight blade that has the same horsepower.
And my back won't hurt.

I grew up around logging. Daddy and uncles followed a saw mill here from the mountains of N.C. I was to young to work with the family operation and it dissolved by the time I got old enough. Brothers stayed with it with some bigger companies. Oldest living brother still works in the woods now. He operates a stumper feather buncher or whatever they are called these days. I was able to see a bow saw in action on many occasions but it wasn’t my cup of tea. Standing on a pile of logs cutting with that beast was dangerous in the wrong hands.Especially while trying to stay outa the way of the skidders bringing another load of logs to the deck. Now days the loader cuts it into saw logs. No need for deck hands. Brother worked for the swamp loggers that was on tv before they were the swamp loggers. Works for the guys brother now. Hard life but he loves it

That roots blower would definitely give it a fighting chance.
