for sale on ebay (no not mine) -eek!

Hi all,

The saw in the add on ebay looks like a saw marketed as Mobilco which was a copy of a saw called a Hargans saw. I recall when I was a nipper ( a while ago) I observed a fellow cutting telephone poles and was using a Hargan Saw.

Just to see one working was scary enough. Timmbergetters in the fifties would part with almost anything to own one of those little pearls. It is nice to see that people have become educated in the ways of doing things, hence liveing a bit longer.

Regards Mike

Ex FIL shattered his leg with one of them.

Cut a block off a limb then proceeded to cut the next without clearing the first out the way.
First block got caught by the blade and came back towards his leg.

He finished up with one leg 2" shorter than the original.

Dangerous but very handy and useful.

Would there be a video out there somewhere of one going??
