>Kevin, I'm not sure what I'm looking at there or how it works. I googled the "folding saw company" and got nothing but an allusion in an OldToolsList thread about a "Goldbergian" folding saw.
If I'm correct in thinking the saw you are showing consists of lots of parts, lever arms, a connecting dog, various linkages and rods, and that the artificial flowers aren't part of it, then I can understand a reference to Rube Golderberg. Why don't you go back with a video camera and get the guy to set the whole thing in motion for posterity. Say, isn't that an early Klimt on the wall next to the flowers?
I don't know, but...

Put a fake body in it and we'll all play "Todd's house of horror & torture".

>St Roy brought one of those in truly decrepit shape to a demo in Northern Virginia at a WoodCraft show. He got it to work. Realy neat tool! It can work on the ground or on the tree. I bet He'd buy it for that if he knew where it was. He was going to rehab the saw some day and replace all the wood. He wouldn't have to do much with that one in the link. And I bet a smaller pile of CASH would get it anyway.JR

The video ain't possible
1. no vid cam
2. it's 80 miles away
For Joe it's 4 miles east of Bennington VT on rt9 more info can be provided if needed and judging from the age of the sticker on it, yes I'm sure they will take less for the saw.
