    I can see the workplace health and safety guys changing their undies already.

    I saw a couple of guys running a machine similar to that at a museum event in Rhode Island a few years ago. I'll have to see if I can find the pictures and the video. It was a "portable" one, mounted on a trailer so was a bit smaller than this one, but still an awfully intimidating machine.

    That job gets the "not worth it" rating in my book. In my youth I got to experience cutting logs into firewood lengths using a PTO driven buzz saw (much like the one below)... a 36" circular blade with no guard, just a pivoting carriage that the log rested on and would get manually tilted into the blade. Way too much opportunity for error.

    I sent the link to my two brothers, along with my 'cringe' comment.
    They both helpfully pointed out that the fellow in the video was safe since he was wearing eye protection.

    That's big brothers fer ya! (even if we are all over 60)

    And, yes, I was their ever-present 'disposable probe droid'

    No, but I've dealt with some messy stuff as an EMT before going back on my tools and doing H&S, simple guarding isn't an option on such a machine.
