Retrorambling 
It cracks me up the guy is wearing a tie swinging loose as he’s cutting the wood . . . also, them were the days when eye were not thought to be of sufficient worth to be protected.
Wearing a tie was the done thing back then for the handy gentleman 😉 And nothing was worth protecting exept the clothes. They always wore carpenter aprons 🙂
