Keep your fingers away from those teeth Charlie!

Lots of fun action going on with this one, and a bargain price as well

Thank you for the feedback Nick. I will do a video of the saw blade cutting wood. It’s very sharp. 

Hopefully, as time goes by we will get more participation on posts.

48 hours after posting and you were the only person to reply to my post. 😢

I wonder if the teeth might be too coarse for cutting wood... they might be taking too big of a bite for toy steam power... Maybe print some wood grain onto a sheet of paper so it looks like your sawing a board  ;)

What crazy motion! That’s a nice old saw and for an attractive price too.
