This is to the guy that was complaining about his wrist being sore from pulling over a saw, There are some things in life that you should keep to yourself! That being one of them. Watch this video and see how real men work! They aren't complaining about nonsense. Personally I think your in the wrong line of work. Maybe you would be better say putting on someone's makeup or spraying people with perfume:censored:

Very interesting video. opcorn:
I had a guy give me an old climbing hand saw from back in the day.
Long before they had chainsaws small enough to carry in trees.
You could almost feel the blood, sweat and tears on it, just holding it...very cool.

The climbing saw I was talking about.

Kinda comes with a good/sad story.

This repeat customer (good ol' boy) of mine name Jake (gotta be pushing 90) gave me this saw and a pruner from when he was climber/tree trimmer for the power co.

He told me this was his saw they issued him back then. I tried to explain to him he should hang on to it. He said he know he wont be around much longer and he wanted me to have it because he knows I'll keep it displayed for everyone to see in my shop/garage/office.

Then tells me it'll be just one less thing his kids wouldn't have to throw away, when he dies. I told him I will keep them till I die.

In doing some shop remodeling I have the pruners in a storage unit but am about to bring it back soon.

Pretty cool old saw Raymond. I am a utility guy, my handsaw is only for when I get my 020 pinched. I can imagine what it must have been like to sidelimb and chunk down trees with that. Like I can only imagine what it took to fall the old growth with handsaws and axes. Those guys were the men.

Thanks, yeah I'll post them pruners soon.
I don't know how they did it. I would be going for my Advil at lunch time
and then remembering they didn't have Advil back then.

I love looking at old saws. can you imagine how you felt after a day working with that.

I had a couple of old cross cut saws that an old forestry guy gave me, but there was no room in the container for a lot of stuff when I moved to the US and they were left behind with it but I regret it to this day. they were beautiful.

Very cool vid!

My grandfather would have been 97 this year if he was alive. When my grandmother passed a couple of years back I got some of his old tools out of the basement in their old house. One was a handsaw for pruning. He worked in CA during the great depression making charcoal and doing forestry work while he was in the CCC program. He was a coal miner most of his life but did a lot of other work as well. I've got a pair of the old timey fence tools for barbwire fences like the cowboys used to use that he had as well. I've got a bunch of his old tools hanging on the wall in the shop. Those old tools are just too cool.

cool

some of my most prized possessions are old tools of both of my now-deceased grandfathers. One was a lifelong iron worker and the other a carpenter.
