The Machines I run....

The following images are of the machines I run at my job.
I'm the "cut man" . I cut the material needed build our portable buildings and I also make the roof trusses.
I'll give a description of each machine. This is the "gang saw" I use cut the trusses

I have always found it soothing to my mind to work with my hands. I remember on job where I was working with leather. I was in early recovery from alcoholism at the time. It was very healing. I imagine working with metal would be equally awesome.

The numbers you see on the side are the truss sizes,, in the photo the saw is set to cut 14 ft. wide trusses. The saws are linked to an air line and when I step on the peddle, all 3 saws descend at the same time. It takes 2 boards to make a single truss.
I'll post a photo of the truss machine next.
