Kind of went back to the start of saws.Can't believe the different types of saws they are making anymore!
All the way from loggers,fireman,rock cutters,medical,etc,etc.....The medical saws make ya' twitch a bit-LOL
The huge rock saw were something else to see too,even showed the saws that built the pyramids and etc.......Engineering way back than......

a jagged edge is a wonderful thing!
archaeologist found tools in Egypt
that had them flummoxed. Turned out to
be a tool to bend teeth in saw blades.
I suppose bronze. Amazing.
And now we know the origin of the Egyptian god
Set.

Did they speculate on what type of saw was used to cut the blocks for the pyramids?
Hand saw? Lots of grit slurry?
Must of been massive amounts of labor.
although the ancients were good at quarry out rock
unimaginably good

did you ever see a program how they built Parthenon in Rome ?
excellent!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
