[SEL] Widowmaker

HMMM.I been scratchin something to stop itching.Guess
I got it wrong.
There are a lot of these saws here in OZ and are still in regular use in 
this area.Hargans and Mobilco are two that come to mind.Hargans  was  from a 
town north of here called Coolah.From memory there was an article about him 
and his development of this saw in an old issue of TOMM. Blokes around here 
that have cut railway sleepers use nothing else and still do.They regularly 
come up  for sale at local auctions.I watched a bloke at a show at Gilgandra 
a town north of here doing  wood sculpture using one of these and it was 
amazing to watch .He was an absolute artist.
