Very cool....I've ready about how that was done, but have never seen it in practice.

A good friend growing up was 3rd generation at the family company, which is a large equipment supply company. Way back when my friend's grandfather started the company cutting and selling blocks of ice from the river.

That was when men were men!

cutting on the river must have been pretty sketchy, respect.

I posted a link somewhere to other lost skills, I will have to look for it
