Awesome Saw Blades

We already know it’s possible to drive a car on a frozen lake using sawblades instead of wheels. The guys from CboysTV attempted the same feat with a dirt bike. To pull off the crazy stunt, they fabricated 100-pound steel sawblade wheels for both a dirt bike and an ATV. The blade wheels work shockingly well, though falling off could be deadly.

From the “fun things to do with a giant saw blade” file comes this video by Knives Project. The expert metalsmith starts by cutting a rough outline of a full-tang cleaver from an old industrial circular saw blade. After cleaning off the rust, he drills holes for a wooden handle, heats and hammers its edge, then hones the blade to a razor-sharp edge.

Black Beard Projects shows off an interesting way to create a steel ring. The blacksmith started with a rusty bandsaw blade and chopped it up into flat pieces. He then welded, forged, and hammered them multiple times to create a Damascus pattern before twisting the metal into a cylinder and refining it into its final form.

Taking a page from the Beyond the Press channel’s sawblade car, RC car fan Fivo Nine modded their Traxxas Xmaxx trophy truck, and outfitted it with 7-1/4″ blades from a circular saw. The RC truck has a tremendous amount of torque for its size, so it quickly digs in and starts cutting into the surface of the frozen lake.

(PG-13: Language) One upside to living in Finland is the ready access to frozen lakes. Lauri and Anni of the Beyond the Press channel decided to take advantage of this by driving a Subaru with tires made from giant circular saw blades onto the ice to see what would happen.

This isn’t the first saw blade shooter we’ve seen, but Patrick Priebe’s hi-tech approach to the idea is equally, if not more impressive than our favorite unconventional weapons manufacturer’s take.
