 As manufacturing towns grow in size, they construct expensive but effective water-powered mills, the need for saw pits diminishes, as these mills can produce up to 200 boards daily.
-== Population ==
+Typically, the operation of a saw pit is a family affair, managed by parent-offspring teams or by siblings. This familial involvement adds another 2 to 5 individuals connected to the saw pit.  Consequently, woodcutters and sawyers together, the total falls within a range of 4 to 9 persons.

-'''Saw pits''' are excavated trenches used for sawing timber with a traditional long-handled saw, called a "whipsaw."  This was operated by two workers working in tandem.  The worker positioned in the pit is commonly referred to as the "underdog," while the one on top is known as the "topdog." This method results in sawn planks used for various construction purposes, particularly in [[Shipbuilding (sage study)|shipbuilding]].

 "Sawyers," handling the crucial work of turning timber into useful wood, are important members of a community, as the manufacture of implements and buildings depend on them.  Some 12 boards a day can be made by two men in a saw pit.  A pit can be worked by a single person, with the end of the saw being weighted with a stone, but this lowers the number of boards that can be managed in a day to 4 or 5.  Saw pits are replaced by water-powered mills, which can cut up to 200 boards a day, in manufacturing towns.

	Saw pits are supported by [[Woodcutting (sage ability)\|woodcutters]], who gather wood and bring it to the saw pit. Although the woodcutters are less likely to dwell within [[Thorp\|thorp]], [[Hamlet\|hamlet]] or larger settlement, their presence counts towards the population that a saw pit contributes. Woodcutters and their families number only 2-4 persons. Typically, the saw pit is also run within a family, by parent-offspring or by siblings: this contributes another 2-5 persons. Therefore, the population supported by a saw pit is 4-9.		Saw pits are supported by [[Woodcutting (sage ability)\|woodcutters]], who gather wood and bring it to the saw pit.
