And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That machine is a beast! I'll bet does a good job as long as you keep it away from big rocks and metal fence posts. I had a blade for the string trimmer that was a disk with chainsaw teeth riveted on to it... worked good!
Jacobson used to make a mower like that. It was 2-stroke, with a disk instead of a blade. The disc had several small blades attached to the edge of the disc. Once started,it would run at over 10,000 rpm. When shut down, it took a minute for the disc to stop spinning. It looked like a Lawn Boy.
A couple dozen in the hands of the Seattle police might be useful.
ReplyDeleteUh OH!.....I don't see any OSHA-approved stickers on that!
ReplyDeleteMight be unsafe!
I wouldn't even let my ex-wife use that.
ReplyDeleteI'd be paranoid walking behind that buzz saw. One little nut....

What's the name of the guy selling it? Stumpy?
ReplyDeleteYou might not be far off. Look at the starter rope: Genius at work.
Deletegood idea. I might not have expose so much of blade and have out a angled rock shield in front of motor. Plus have no one near within 50 yards.
ReplyDeleteThe circular saw is itself genius, and a recent invention. The Shakers invented it in the late 19th Century.

ReplyDeleteThe instructions suggest safety glasses and life insurance before use.
ReplyDeleteClassic example of "just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing".
ReplyDeleteI notice that you have to pull start it from the front where the blade is exposed. Safety first!
