Mitre Saw Question

[ezdays]

It got me to thinking about the old Italian man who would walk around the neighborhood with a little sharpening wheel in tow . Everyone brought out knives , scissors , lawnmower blades etc .....guy must have made a fortune . That had to be 40 years ago , at least . Couldn't do it today ...he'd need a licence , safety equipment , safety glasses , a billion $$ of insurance etc. etc .

I can remember those guys as well, they'd set up in your driveway or on the sidewalk and use a foot pedal for power. They'd work hard all day and charge you a fair price for what they did. You're right, they couldn't get away with anything like that today what with all the regs and requirements, upgraded automated equipment and the huge power pack he'd need to run it all. He went the way of the iceman, milkman, the vegetable delivery truck and $3 doctor house calls (no insurance necessary). :cry:
