Rig for a Two-handed Saw.
The accompanying drawing shows how a two-man saw may be rigged
up to be operated by one person. The writer designed this arrangement for the purpose of sawing a large number of logs single handed, and he found the device very successful. The saw-horse was placed beside a post on which a pulley was mounted. Another piilley was secured on a second post, while between the two a pulley block was fastened to the ground. A rope tied to the free end of the saw passed over the pulleys on the posts and under the pulley block between them. The opposite end of the rope carried a small weight. With this arrangement the sawing of the logs was greatly facilitated.
