Avon Dragsaw - Bradford Stationary engine

Brilliant mate, that's a nice linkage, avoids having sliding guides. Looked like a challenge keeping it at a sensible speed there.

yep the throttle spring was not staying in place.

Hello John, and enginelover1. That is music to my ears and my eyes, with all that rhythmic noise and motion. I like the parallel motion which supports the weight on machine side of the cutting blade and permits/lets the cutting side drop freely, with the separate motion of the connecting rod to produce the cutting oscillation, Knowing the state of that machine when you got it, you deserve more than a pat on the back for such a result. Congratulations, I shall come and visit you as soon as possible, Well done.

Those dragsaws are always mighty impressive, albeit a bit intimidating at the same time, and that one is a particularly nice example.

[@enginelover1]

Glad you like it mate. Cheers

Nice machine. Tough log.

[@enginelover1]

yes but the blade is not as sharp.

[@BensWorkshop]

@@enginelover1 I as wondering if that was the case.

[@rainbow2710]

Wow!! You keep yourself busy! Never imagined I'd see something like this in Malta - I mean, it's not a logging country, is it (ma tantx ghandna sigar x'naqtghaw!). Prosit.

[@enginelover1]

Yes you are right. Some back story most probably it spent its working life at the dry docks to cut the huge wooden beams to support the ships from underneath.
