Did it all with the old Mac

It is interesting to see how well those saws hold their own compared to modern saws of similar displacement. I have owned a few of those over the years and was consistently impressed, though the lack of A/V and safety features meant I only used them as occasional, fun saws.

Nice to see the old thing still doing what it was meant to do, though!

I cut out of a pile of logs like that for about 10 yrs. with my 1-10 Mac. (The ancestor of the 10-10). They're a great old saw and can still get er done!
