That was interesting! If it was today's machine, you wouldn't be able to see it for the guards, handrails, screens, etc etc!
Old school & incredible... how the West was won!!

Yeah, that did look a little dangerous! One trip, one slip and that's it!

I love it! you could die there pretty quick...
I actually worked at a mill sorta like that when I was in high school. It was electric powered, and they only cut hardwood. My job? Catching the sawn green lumber off the chain and putting it in the proper stack. Hard work catching a 2” thick and 12” wide plank 16’ long! It was all my 16 year old butt could handle, I slept good that week! Only worked a week because I was filling in for a guy that was out, was glad when he came back!
I then went back to my normal job working for the mill owner cutting grass and bush hogging. Liked that a lot better!
