Slung Blade posted:How about people who spend 90 minutes using a hand saw to cut through an 18" diameter log because they're too cheap to buy a chainsaw? When I moved into my current apartment, I had a couch that didn't fit in any doorways, or any windows. I measured it, and figured out it actually would fit into my window if I removed the couches back. I stripped off the upholstery but then realized I had to somehow saw off the back, since the wood was all stapled together in a way that made most of it impossible to take apart (surprisingly, manufacturers don't expect you to want to take apart their couch and then rebuild it). So the obvious answer was to saw it off! Only, I didn't have a saw... or did I?  I sawed half of the couch apart with a 2.5 inch leatherman before going "Screw it, I'm getting a sawzall." My hands killed me for about a week after. But I got it through the window! Took a week to take it apart, get it through the window, and rebuild it (with screws this time, gently caress nails). I even took pictures of the entire process to document my failure (and so I'd remember how to rebuild it). The whole thing was such I mess I almost wanted to make a thread about it.

The guy is located in Connecticut so while it's not nearly as cold as were you are, it does get frosty.

I learned on a South Bend in our school's machine shop—wonderful machine. The machinist who taught me said he saw it for sale 8 hours away (mid-atlantic -> upstate new york) and immediately called the seller to make an offer, rented a truck that could handle it, and drove up that evening to claim it.
