Now that looks intensely dangerous!
Great title,Motts
That is a fitting name!
Those are impressive blades!
Scary looking. Reminds me of bear claws.
Interesting machine, nicely captured.
Perfect title! Those blades look deadly but make for a really beautiful shot!
Love to see this baby in action!
Wouldn't want to get stuck in that
Crispy Crap!!! That's one vicious piece of ironwork!

Perfect shot!
Looks like something to sort material by size. That, or it was used to discipline employees.
what does that machine do? Other than create nightmares.
Truly an amazing shot.
i would hate to fall onto it wile it was on or off
Haha, is the title a Stephen King reference?
Something Freddy was jealous of...
Anyone else have images of the two chipmonks from Bugs Bunny running around the lumber mill?
That is absolutely terrifying!!!! And I want it for a lawn ornament get rid of those dumb garden and stick that on the front lawn, give all the kids nightmares too!
LOL =)
Mangler! Wow! That' thing is the stuff of nightmares. Wonder what its exact purpose was...
There's an interesting juxtaposition between the evil-looking blades and the elegant curves of them. It's cruel yet graceful...
Wow now that looks dangerous!!!!!!!! What the heck is it!?!?!?!
It slices ,it dices . Tthis thing looks like it would have appeared in one of the "SAW" movies.
one word.....OUCH!
Wasn't it in a Sci-Fi horror movie? LOL
looks like somthing congress would put war crimanals in. id love to put obama in it.
That is awesome :)
Tune in next week to see how Batman gets out of this!!
Interesting name, the movie by that name gives me nightmares, as does this machine. Was the movie your inspiration for the name?
lol yeah it was ;the mangler. i remember watching it when i was like 13 yrs old im now 25. crazy throw back, no1 remembers really .lol. thats great. pa. the mountains and all the abondonded coal plants i remember on my trips growing up,starring up into the ruins and wanting to be inside rather than on the way to visit my nanny. i was wondering when motts was gonna start hitting up the coal town state. I love how it all comes together, beautiful.
It looks like something that works like cotton gin saw wheels(what seperates the cotton from the lint). Judging by the grate welded on one side it would work that way. but it's just a s.w.a.g. (scientific wild ass guess)
Judging by looks, it would have tossed coal around and, I imagine, created a lot of dust.
Egad.
i wouldn't wanna mess with that thing!
