Just cut the piano!!
I didn't pay that much attention other than to notice that to my surprise my saws weren't the slowest in all classes. The cookie monster was a surprise in bigger wood. Eric and I timed it last year and didn't see much difference with the belly bar and a straight bar in smaller wood but sure made a difference today. Lewis brought his whole collection of vintage saws and put a few of them through their paces, makes a man appreciate modern technology. You should have seen the looks on peoples faces when Lewis shifted the Disston into gear! The Disston is gear drive and the drive mechanism has an "in and out" shifter. Ed did a real good job with the record keeping and has tons of data to post when he gets home.
