<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 408158, member: 54"]Looks like a whimsey windmill thingy, set up on a roof, it saws wood in the wind. Ones I’ve seen are attached to a windmill that powers them. Not sure if this had one or where the crankshaft was attached. The long heel was the pivot and whole thing rocked to “saw” the wood. Popular in northeast coastal areas in US. Folk art.
