Let's put it this way, I started at the beginning of the football, sorry soccer game, it went into one extra time session so that is 90 min plus I think 15 min so 1 hr 45 minutes for the whole game and that is when I finished the cut. Plus I stopped to file the teeth.
I can say there were no Japanese saws in the middle ages 'cause the Dutch did not make contact with the Japanese 'till around the beginning of the 16th century. There were only two man saws generally in use in the middle ages for comparable work although the Dutch were by then using wind driven saw-mills while the rest of the white men here were still hackin' away with their axes - like we so love to do..
