The guy at 1.27 has balls of steel!
Amazing. Have you ever seen the guys building the early skyscrapers in New York? Up and down on icy steels with no safety gear at all!
Amazing stuff, isn't it? :-))
Those early mechanical saws are something too:)
If someone handed any of us an axe now and asked us to cut a tree even 1ft thick, they would be laughed at. Impressive stuff, bound to have been plenty of accidents though.
This definitely separates the man from the boys!
In that first bit of footage, imagine a slight miscalculation while swinging the axe and you could cut right through the piece of rope securing you to the tree!
We've become a little too reliant on power tools now.
Have a look at this video. It's the largest hand plane I've seen and it's obviously very sharp!
Great film! Hard work meant HARD back then!
Reminds me of my time in the scouts when you did 1st class and 2nd class axemanship. You had to fell a tree with an axe for 1st class.2nd class was just using a small hand axe for cutting up firewood on the ground. You were then allowed to carry an axe in a special pouch on your belt. I'm sure health and safety has spoilt all that now. You were also allowed to carry a sheath knife...had about a 6" blade.... attached to your belt when you went to scout meetings........ they'd all be arrested now!!
