2-man saw for cutting saplings?

Very cool!

The saws are not for sale, they're part of the company's museum in Granville Mass.
He has a lot of old equipment.

I think that last photo is an Ericsson hot air engine. Waaaay cool. Thanks for posting!

Wow, very impressive knowledge because it is just that. Cool how the duel pistons work too.

I had a model Stirling engine as a kid, which used a little alcohol-and-wick burner for heat. Wish I still had it.

It came with a really cool hot air engine history book, which is probably what I remember the Rider-Ericsson from.

Here’s a current repro of the model one I had...the price has gone up since then...from about $36 to about $139!
