The 350 Chev powered chainsaw probably rates a mention just for its silliness, but that must be some chain to handle a load like that. An interesting machine to watch is the macadamia cracker. It will crack the nuts in two without damaging the kernel inside.
To tell the truth, I love watching all machines in action, from the simplest little donkey steam engine to the Tesla manufacturing line, I find them all fascinating the way all the bits work in together to get the job done.

Re: Some machines
Hi Terry we got two of those 'macadamia' nut crackers up here (by the way they are called 'Bauple nuts' in this area).
First is the ever reliable hammer second the vice in the shed, works every time.
Thousands of acres of them grown here.

Re: Some machines
Bernie my sister lived in Bauple 35+ yrs ago & brought me down a Bauple nut tree in a jam tin, it grew huge & produced more nuts than we could ever eat, our then bull terrier cross dog use to crack them with his teeth & eat the nut, the kids use to use Bruce's vice.
