Houtzaagmolen 'De Rat' in IJlst

Those are sash saws. The mechanized version of the old "whip saw" method where logs were cut into boards by hand using crosscut saws. One man stood above the log and another man below, usually in a pit, who wound up with the handle of "pit man"....... ......a hard messy job....... That's the first time I've seen a sash saw in use outside of the United States. There is a working water powered sash saw in a museum in Massachusetts and there WAS one in or near Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

cahartley7 dear Sir we in England call them Frame saws but what ever you call them, or we call them. They are very efficient and when you combine them with Dutch Know how, and knowledge of wind power they beat anything an American could think of into the ground! Also Dutch history pre dates yours by? Years?
