Most of you don't know about this event, but one corner of the Badger Steam and Gas Power Show is devoted to vintage chainsaws. On Saturday starting at noon there is a "demonstration" making timed cuts, and the two fastest times get a plaque/commemorative shingle in honor of their efforts.
There are many vintage saws on display, as well as a few peculiar "modern" saws. It's all for fun and a lot of great information is shared amongst the participants and the folks watching.
I'll post some more photos when I have time, as well as the time sheets to give you an idea of what kind of saws are involved. For now, see the pure joy on the faces of these two fellows that both won shingles in only their second or third year in attendance.
