Re: That Can't Be Safe! A Visit to the Shingle Mill

For several years I used to attend an old engine [one lunger] meet in New England.Several of the exhibitors also had old equipment in operation. One such, was an old shingle mill with even less safety devices, read none, than the one in the video.
Even more appalling was was a disorderly pile of cut shingles about 4 feet from the blade upon which were two five or six year olds rough housing. Even now. several years later I still shudder when I recall it.
