Saw Mill Laborer

At this saw mill in southern Kentucky the Amish men don't use any electric tools or saws. Huge logs are cut with a 53 inch diesel powered circular saw and trimmed by hand. They've created an ingenious system of tracks, carts and pulleys to move the logs and cut board without the use of electricity or vehicles.

    Great capture. I entered a photo in the fairy tale theme of an amish woman working in the field.
