the long forgotten lumberjack "Big Wheel" method, manufactured by the Gaylord company in Michigan


 Big Wheels used by Lumber Jacks made by Gaylord MFG Co, also known as Michigan Wheels





I've never seen these before... or even heard of them.

    I've seen them in museums here in Wisconsin. If I remember correctly, a sign by one of them said that they could be very dangerous to use and lumberjacks referred to them as "Kill me quicks".
