id seen the "hotdog saw" video years ago.

i like innovation. its a neat trick if it works... but it allows for bad form... which i dont like. 'course i dont like ER trips either..

just about every action we do over and over eventually involves some level of "muscle memory"... where you might have had to think and focus on how to walk at first... now its way back... streaming like elevator music in the background.

im not saying we should be all tough love about chop saws and just have open, unguarded blades and let darwin weed out the clumbsy... but for some reason that hot dog saw bugs me.

itd be one thing if all saws had it... it was common... a little fear is good sometimes... and using a more common saw, with all the commonly needed precautions, would train you to use better form more of the time, in theory.

or not.

that said... think of all the hot dogs that would get wasted showing your buddies how cool your power tool was...

im writing about weiners and saws. time to do something else.

I really like that idea. In fact, I have a couple test subjects in mind, already.

[KISS]

I saw that saw in person and it's made extremely well. Never used it, but it would seem to be a joy to use.

The shaft, I think is over 1" diameter because it has to absorb the impact of the blade.

It is destructive, about $80 for the gizmo and who knows what for the blade, so it is an expensive mistake.

On the flip side, however, wet wood can also cause the mechanism to trigger and so would cutting metal. There is a test and disable mechanism built into the saw too.

If I were selecting a saw, I would definitely have that one on the table.

Whichy?

I'm not fond of the table saw/hotdog saw. Mine is older then me, off center, the blade wobbles, you can't cut straight even if you're the most skilled person on earth.

I prefer the mitre saw, but you don't always have a piece of wood that fits, sometimes you have to suck it up and use the finger chopper/table saw.

Hubby always panics when I use it. I don't know why. I've never hurt myself using any of the power tools. He's come close to losing a finger, stitches in his hand, chunks of stuff embedded in his head, and I'm a concern?

Well I think I am going to try and get some sleep. Yup after 3:30 here. Good night my friends.

[Unknown008]

Good night Bella :)

[Alty]

You're going to bed? I thought sleep was for the weak. Come on, you can do it, push through, find that second wind.

Wake up! Wake up!

Oh fine. Go to bed! See if I care.

New kitty pictures are FINALLY up.

i can use just about every power tool I've come across. drill, jig saw, table saw, circular saw, band saw, drill press, belt sander, and probably a few more i can't think of names for.

someday, i want to have a workshop full of power tools.

Can I marry you?

I like tools but I don't like power tools, way too scary. Hubby can use a drill and jig saw but isn't what you would call an enthusiast.

Oh god cat is this crazy guy in town, who I didn't realize was crazy until yesterday. Long story short I graduated with this kid and we were always friends. Nothing more. Nice kid. I get on Facebook and he gets on Facebook. Haven't talked to him since June of 1991. We friend each other. He says he has spent a long time thinking of what happened to me. Not a big deal I have thought that of many people. Well his mom lives 9 miles from me, he decides to come for a visit. Cool. Its great seeing old friends. Well he comes in my store yesterday and he is crazy. He grabs me and hugs me and I am the what the f%!@k! He hangs out and is talking about these feelings and "what if we fall in love" oh my god! I have never once led him to think anything. He is freaking crazy! I sit here and think was there something I missed?? I never hardly even spoke with him on Facebook.
