Thread: Can we name the saw

Dunno about the saw, but there's at least two turkeys in there.......


Akshally......it's not as silly as it seems. Some years ago I had a 5 or 10 kilo block of dark Belgian cooking chocolate to cut up (we're talking 400x200x 40 or 50mm thick here).........and I had just recently purchased a new hardpoint saw that was yet to be used in anger.....and I was having trouble getting chunks of chocky off the block at the right weight/size.

The saw did a great job, but was tricky to lick clean.

Sorry Brett,
I think your wrong I think there cutting up a turkey too.
That makes three.
Rather large drum stick !!!![emoji12]
Do you have any of the chocolate left?

Cheers Matt

That was back in 2008 Matt. We finally had the last of the grated chocolate about 12 months ago. Had been vac-packed and kept in the fridge (and was "as-bought" to eat).

Yes I did say "at least" 2 turkeys - I was allowing for the guy holding it to have maybe been roped in for support, against his better judgement.

As much as I'd like to think that this is a grizzled, old woodworker, his grip on the saw indicates otherwise...

Given the orientation to the corpus of the bird I'd call it "Turkey Ripper".

Just out of interest,no one yet has suggested what the saw make is.
Or comment on the hang angle.

Cheers Matt

If you want my opinion they are using the wrong saw completely. Disston, at least, made a saw expressly for this purpose:

That was in 1914.

Of course we want your opinion
This forum is filled with mostly opinions.
Mine included[emoji12].
And thanks for the link,
Unfortunately or fortunately I won't need one this Pagan season.
As we're eating out on a boat serving Chinese food on one particular day I think[emoji849].

Hi Matt,

can I offer a sensible answer about the saw,

looking at the handle and blade length
I reckon it may be a late model Disston D8 panel saw.

They were a pretty common type of saw to have about the place.

Graham.

For the future record ...
