You’re looking at a series of old hand saws that have been cut into various scenes of rural living (plus Bigfoot). Cindy Chinn (aka thesawlady) of Chester, Nebraska hand cuts these using a plasma torch. Note to self: buy yourself a plasma torch, you deserve it.

You can add carpenters to the list of occupations that robots are going after now. A team of carpenter hating researchers from MIT‘s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory built this woodworking robot system. It goes by the name Autosaw.

David Zarrouk’s latest robotic creation, dubbed “SAW” takes its inspiration from an ‘80s dance move known as the worm. With just one motor it can wriggle across the floor by moving its flexible body up and down.

This gaming mod is called the Painsaw for obvious reasons. It is made to look like a blood-spattered chainsaw from Doom, but it’s more than just a prop. It actually plays the classic science fiction horror FPS.

Science is a great excuse to do just about anything crazy. Crossing a shark with a power saw? Hell yeah. For science! The Jawzall is a reciprocating saw with a blade made from shark teeth. It was developed at Cornell University where they are just cool like that.

This is an awesome prank. What you see here is the Windows desktop that Redditor Croft1342 was greeted with after having a friend repair his computer. Jigsaw from the Saw movies is such a jerk. Only one of those Chrome icons is actually Chrome.

Now you know you can run down to the local Home Depot and pick up a scroll saw for under 100 bucks, right? Well that didn’t stop one enterprising DIYer from building his own. Instead of using metal, this guy built his out of wood.

Whether you’re looking for an accessory to go with your Halloween costume, or just something to toss around out on the quad year-round, the Sawblade Throwing Disc is just the right thing.

You know how it is, sometimes you are just walking through the forest and you get the sudden urge to chop down a tree, but sadly you didn’t bring a saw with you. Well, now you can carry one with you at all times, in a little tin.

I have talked about the implements of zombie protection that the geek known as Joerg Sprave creates on a few occasions. This is the dude behind the machete flinging slingshot and that slingshot that shoots a bunch of ball bearings.

If you’ve ever used a table saw, you’ve probably had the horrific image of your fingers going flying off if you slip. The incredible SawStop system uses capacitive sensors to detect when you accidentally touch the deadly spinning blade with your flesh.

Keep your fingers and hands away from this LEGO creation, which features an actual motorized spinning saw blade.

Imagine the next time you have friends over to dinner, you bring out a delicious chocolate cake on the table, then proceed to hack it apart with a hand saw. Now you can slice and dice cakes and other tender foods with the Table Saw, a serrated kitchen knife that looks just like a hand saw.

The Pizza Boss 3000 from Fred looks like a miniature circular saw for cutting through even the most persistent pepperonis, stubborn sausages and cantankerous crusts. Sorry, it’s not actually motorized, so mob guys, don’t plan on slicing off any fingers with one of these.

This minimal CD player design looks really beautiful on the surface, with a case made from solid walnut and matching speakers to go with it. The design actually exposes half of the CD during playback, which seems highly impractical and downright dangerous.
