p_toad Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I missed the PPE and guards. Impressive work done. I wonder where all those saws went.. Doubt if OSHA would approve now, but we would probably have a robot do all that cutting, lifting and toting... Fred W.

Harry Brink Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 My son has his Grandfather's saw. I remember it as being LOUD and SCARY! I was around 10 years old when my Dad was ripping a board and it kicked back and sent the board out thru the garage door. My Dad just shook his head and went onto the next one. steven newman and HARO50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HandyDan Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I wanna know where they got all that good looking lumber.

Chips N Dust Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Pretty Cool! I love all the "jigs" they used to help them speed up the repetitive cuts and such. A few shots showed some knots in the wood - rare for that time.

Very true, I worked at a Navel Base upgrade one time and had only the best material money could buy. Even if we had to wait weeks for the supplier to have it special cut.

Grandpadave52 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Richard...thanks for posting this...I enjoyed it tremendously. Makes you stop and think the war effort was more than just building planes, tanks, ships and ammo...easy to overlook the importance and need for this type of support. Very, very interesting. I did wonder what/how they handled & moved all the cut-offs that had to accumulate in a short period of time. I guessed it might have been transported & stored to be used as a heating source for some of the barracks & training facilities???

Al B Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I remember my earlier years working at the shipyard. The teak decking on the old fleet type subs would be removed and discarded in the shipyard dump. steven newman and Dadio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joeb41 Posted January 27, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks for posting that video Richard, it brought back some memories. I spent the first two years of my WW career running one of those bad boys in a production shop back in the 60's. If OSHA was around then we would have been shut down.
