Good for him, doing well for age 93 , I can only imagine how more productive he could be cutting wood if had a sharp blade on that saw,

Sharpen that blade!

and park closer to the wood pile ;-)


Inspiring jhust the same, and I bet he doesn't waste money on gym memberships ;-)

 

[RobertBrown]

Yikes!
Thats a scary set up. That blade has seen better days.
He looks pretty spry for 93. I would not bet against him seeing triple digits.
Probably should'nt say "digits" with that saw runnng........
