5ft two-man cross cut saw - oh yeah!

i knew i'd remember loads of stuff that i wanted to mention as soon as i'd posted the last entry and so i did.....

whilst in england i went to a handmade tool makers in sheffield and bought a 5ft long two man saw for felling trees and cutting wood for the fire.

it's an absolute beauty and is available from the fine people at:

www.flinn-garlick-saws.co.uk

they make really great tools which are made to last - a rarity these days!

then, yesterday, we made a jig to securely hold the trees/wood in place whilst we cut it and today we've been cutting loads of wood for the cold winter ahead of us.

it works like a dream and means that there is no excuse for nikki to get out of wood cutting - ha ha!

here's a few shots of the saw, jig and them both in action.....

the saw in all it's glory:



the saw/jig combo:



and finally, nikki and monkey-boy in an action shot:



enjoy, gairy.
