When I hear the term "buzz saw" this is what I envision.

I have a similar one sitting in my backyard that belonged to my father-in-law.

Bernd thanks for the pic; that is one nasty looking saw. No the one my Grandpa had, if memory serves me, was more of a table saw situation with a large blade. The term "buzz saw" was what he used. I wish I had some photos of his setup but back then that was the least of their concerns.

Bernd, that's a very cool photo.   It should be an easy scratchbuild once you have the saw blade...

I agree. People at that time had a thought process far different from today's average person.

Larry,

Great saw mill scene. Love all the sawdust. I love the smell of sawdust and cut wood.

Thanks Tom. The sawdust was courtesy of my last DIY home project.
