#1 is very similar to a technique I've used for cutting very small things with a hacksaw. Brace the hacksaw between the legs, and using both hands, run the part back and forth over the blade. MUCH easier than trying to hold the tiny part with a pair of pliers and using a hacksaw on it one-handed.
Of course, the right way to do it is a bench vise, but try finding one of those on the job site!
Oh, and I suppose it has to be said that of course this guy's an idiot who's going to get himself hurt. And if he doesn't learn quick, he'll end up getting other people hurt too.
Unless other countries saws are different he is pushing the wood in the wrong direction. Our saws cut on the push stroke. Quite apart from coming close to slicing his wrist blood vessels.
Rip/Cross cut? if you can tell that from the vid then you're a better man than me,Gungadin! Can have either in hand saws,although these days they will sell you a "multipurpose" job.
From watching it, I think he IS running it backwards. After all it's easier to slide that direction. It appears it's not sliding easily so he's lifting it and moving it. Of course it's not sliding easily because it's actually trying to cut.
8) I don't know much about goats (except that they're obnoxious assholes) so have to ask: is this a normal move they're known to do? Because I'd not have expected to see that two-legged side shuffle.
I was given a goat by a neighbor once. He was personality plus. It was something to watch him strip the leaves off of blackberry vines, which my back yard was full of.
He got his head stuck in the center hole of a logging truck wheel once. That was fun.
Goats and sheep both sometimes do the standing side shuffle, when they're winding up to hit somebody. They don't always go straight at it like a bull.
I knew a hippie guy who encountered a little goat that wanted to play. Guy thought it was cute, so he went head-to-head with the little rascal. Lucky for him, it was just a little goat; he told about it a long time later.
#1 Makes me sad and disgusts me at the same time. If that is a boy does he ever need a man in his life. If it's a boy he needs to stop going to his mothers beauty shop for hair cuts.
#1 I didn't see any bench vises or any other way to secure the log so he could cut it normally. It looks he is doing the best he can giving the lack of tools.
#6 You can do amazing things with a proper pen and enough practice.

1: I'm sitting here watching that wrist get closer and closer to the blade. 4: I had a shepherd cross when I was young, and she absolutely hated when we were in the pool. 8: Me trying to look cool and casual. I so relate to this. 10: So unnecessary, ladies.

Smart boy just got no sense.
DeleteWhat an idiot. That's a job for a ripsaw, not a crosscut saw!

Good point on cut direction. I think some Japanese saws cut on the opposite direction from American saws.

No 5 is priceless. Hope the asshole lost a couple teeth.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a gif next to the definition of 'dumbass' in Webster's dictionary this would be it.
DeleteThe only way #5 could have been better was if the idiot getting kicked had been on a bicycle.
Delete"Dumbass". I was gonna say flat out stupid.
