According to Pier Gherini, former owner of the eastern portion of the island, this home-built saw apparatus was built by Joe Griggs in 1955. "Joe could do most anything, except write. An expert, rider, huntsman, and general ranch worker, Joe also was a mechanical whiz. He once took a 1918 Waterloo Boy tractor that had been "mothballed" because the early workmen wouldn't touch it and used the parts to make a sawmill. The fact that we didn't need a mill in no way detracted from the ingenuity and skill that went into its making." Today, one can clearly see the big circular saw blade mounted on end with a tractor engine and radiator mounted at the other end.
