W.O.F. 25: technology marches on

From the County Fair (see blog below for more from the Fair):

Drives this belt...

allowing this circular blade to cut the wood and make board lumber out of trees.

Watch your fingers!

I see only one guy manning the the saw. I would think that more people would be needed to work with something that size.

Looks pretty unsafe.

Isnt it odd that the machines of yesterday were so huge compared to the ones of today. Think roomsize computer vs. a more powerful laptop. Amazing.
