I built this janky monstrosity out of unistrut and I call it the BAWS. It's a Diamond Wire saw and uses surplus (new/expired) wire from the semiconductor industry. They would have used it to dice up silicon ingots into wafers in the manufacture of chips, or to slice up lab-grown sapphire into iPhone screens. I'm using it to surgically destroy whatever entertains me. The saw's original purpose was to be a "quick & dirty" means to an end: cutting up a forklift counterweight into machinable chunks of cast iron for another build project. But I got a little carried away, the saw it turned into its own project, and my juvenile curiosity influenced the direction I went with it.
I hope you all find this as entertaining as I do.
If you like what you see, please consider giving my video a "like" (on youtube) so that it will get more views, and subscribing to my YouTube channel. In the next few days I'll be posting more content related to the saw but in the near future I'll be posting videos of a myriad of other kinds of builds and topics related to tractors, machinery, guns/ammo, electronics, etc. Here is just a small sample of my list of videos I intend to do:

- Build a small CNC Swiss Lathe for the manufacture of solid copper projectiles (that's what the forklift cast iron is for)
- Build a PTO generator
- Build a Constant-horsepower air compressor
- Tractor ECU hacking
- Build an amphibious aluminum jet boat
- Build a plasma pantograph attachment for the CNC mill
- Build a range brass sorter using computer vision
- Build an auto-leveling FEL that compensates for terrain angle
