[SEL] Ice harvest coming up next month

[Richard Strobel]

Howdee Rupert;
    The last two pictures are of my plow and the first gives one a good idea of how they were used.  I believe it to be all hand forged..maybe not the cutting teeth.
   A friend of mine said that in many cases a small area was dyked up and flooded and harvested.  He says he can still show me the remains of some.  I have never seen one work up close and personal.

RickinMt.
PS:  Sorry for the html gang.  I don't know how to change that in a reply

  Hello Rick,
  Can you post a picture of the ice plow? I have never seen one as they 
  used hand saws around here during the ice age. Rural power came in 
  around here in the early '50s. Bye the way, most ice houses in this area 
  were in the ground like shallow hand dug wells.
