Strådalsaga

Reconstruction of an old farm saw in Strådalen in Vera in Verdal.

Saga is built after a model of an old farm saw that stood in Strådalen in Vera in Verdal. Mountain farmer Per Ward remembered the saw well and built a model of it after he moved to Stiklestad in the early 1990s. The model was completed in 1996.

The model then became the basis for the construction of the saw which took place from 2002 to 2005. In the Strådalen there was enough water power for the saw to be operated with it. This is not the case here, so a motor has been inserted so that the saw can be used. Otherwise, building, saw bench, etc. are consistent with the model that Per Ward built. He could also give advice during the construction.
