The Remarkable Sea Beach Palace Hand Saw Act
A Sea Beach Palace exhibit on Coney Island features a worker sawing ultra delicate items with a thirteen foot long revolving saw. He crafts four chairs, with tiny legs and backs, and a dozen knives and forks so small they surround a lead pencil without touching. He demonstrates precise finger pinches on the saw and even sawdust from his thumb without injury. Envious rivals imitate with blocks of wood and cloth items produced from wool scraps. The piece also notes editorials about innovation and a Cleveland Times reference to a bottle cure.
