SAWING DAY AT KIRSU IELA

Our church in Cesis is demolishing an older structure next to the building that will be our new church. We have taken down the second floor and chimneys but have had to stop for a few days to get all of the wood cut into useable lengths for the boilers (heaters).

The good wood is selected and stored while the rest is cut using an electric saw with about a 24 inch blade. It cuts the wood at a fast rate but it is just a bare-bones machine; no fancy safety switches or cut-offs. You'd better be paying attention to what you are doing are you will quickly lose the ability to dial a cell phone.

These boys don't need any eye or ear protection (or so they think!)
