1. pitsaw

   A pitsaw is a large two-handled saw historically used in a saw pit for cutting timber, typically into planks or boards. One person would stand above the timber and the other below, in the saw pit. They would use the pitsaw's long, narrow blade to repeatedly cut the timber along its length. The work was laborious and was largely superseded by circular saws and other technological advancements.
