I have been wondering, (uh oh, this oughta be good) I found free plans for building a scroll saw. Anyone here know what a pit saw is? It works like a crosscut saw, only it is for ripping. The log is placed on supports above a pit. A guy stands in the pit and pulls the saw down. Another guy stands on the log and pulls the saw back up. They used to saw lumber like this in Colonial America. Wonder if you could scale up a scroll saw and run logs thru it like this. Get one of those bandmill blades to use for the blade. Put the log on a carriage that is inclined slightly so that the carriage and log travel into the blade. Start it sawing and go do something else for a while. Come back to one piece of sawn lumber. Then start another one to sawing. Could lumber be sawn this way (albeit slowly)? I'm thinking short logs, 4 to 6 feet long. Pooh Bear
