There are tons of videos of guys dropping trees of that diameter with saws like that. Whoever thought of framing that pic gets two thumbs up. :)

The guy hanging from the ceiling is really being pushed around.

Back in the day those saws were sometimes referred to as Misery Whips. I know I’d last maybe two strokes assuming I was still strong enough to actually pull it through a tree trunk.

He's tied off too it looks like. Wise decision.

I guess they were getting ready to build a stretched version of that plane.

Those giant teeth and that thin aluminum skin, not the right tool for the job.

Why not? They use anchor chains to cut ships into. Staged photo for sure!

From the "4 Martini lunch" period....

Sort of the geek version of "hold my beer and watch this".
