Look what i found

I was at a moving sale 2 days ago and they were selling everything cheap .they just wanted to get rid of everything ,no matter what. they were moving into an apartment .they had a shed that looked like a hoarders nightmare. you had to dig threw a big pile.it almost looked like someone backed up with a dump truck and unloaded it. i found these 3 saws .he said $ 5 for all 3. i jumped on it ,then i found a real nice 20 ft extension ladder that he forgot that he had ,how much for that ? he said i cant use it where i am going so give me $10 then i found a brand new biscuit cutter (the ones that wood workers use ) $5 and it is yours .i hurried up and put everything everything in my truck .i was the first one there .now everyone is coming .it is now like a bees nest with people .before i left i guy bought a craftsman table top saw on a stand it worked great ,the guy the guy paid $30 for it .

Not to shabby at all. You bought all three for about half the cost of the short bow saw blade.

Is that a 4' or 6' cross cut blade? That tooth pattern is good for soft or hardwood. Now you need a nice set of handles, and a place to hang it on the wall.

Have to sing lumberjack songs too. That thing would put me in the hospital today.

I know where there is one of those stuck in the middle of a tree. It had been there about 30-40 years at the time so completely healed over. Poor guy started cutting down a tree, went back to the house for lunch and died. Supposedly a few years later it was noticed and they left it there as a sort of tribute.

The guys family was my running buddy in HS. I wish they still owned the property. I'd like to see it again though it is probably nearly completely consumed by the tree by now. It was a good six feet off the ground so I wondered if he was standing in the back of a truck or wagon and cutting a pole for an out building or something. Curious in any case.

They look good on the wall. I paid quite a bit more but it did have handles.

Mine had a small hole on each end of the blade near the handle. I just put some screws through there and painted them to match the rust shade of the blade.

Here’s the one hanging in the cabin. My wife’s parents had this done in the 1970’s. Scorpion snowmobiles. And the photos the artist used to paint.
