Saw-pit Shed from Sheffield Park, Sussex
This 19th-century building provides cover for a permanent saw-pit and
is typical of many such buildings in villages and on estates. Inside
can be seen a range of tools used in the handling and conversion of
timber.

It has been said that plank sawyers never go to hell because they live
in hell on earth. This saying refers to the difficulties of the work.
Seven of the men who came to New France with the Great Recruit of 1653
practiced this trade.
The trade of plank sawyer is a very old one and engravings showing
sawyers in action have been found on grave markers dating back to the
Gallo-Roman Empire. This is easy to explain since, up to the 20th
century, plank sawyers played an important role in the construction of
buildings. They provided the planks required to build homes, barns,
chapels, ships, etc. Working in teams of two, they cut planks from
the trunks of massive trees, using their long saw. This difficult work
required several steps.

The vikngs split timber with wedges and trimmed it with the adze
and axe. Oak was also very hard to saw. but strong and flexible for
the long ships.
