I can drive a 16 penny nail in two hits. Give me that hammer! It'll be crystal dust in seconds. What was this fucking thread about anyway?

What TV show are you watching now?
Started Dr. Death last night, due to Deb's post about it on Facebook. So, I'm halfway through 8 episodes. Enjoying it.

And now what did you do TODAY?
I was thinking mail order bride. Which always has me wondering... How many stamps would that require?

You know, I heard the same thing about the band KISS. But I refuse to believe that. Damn, now that I'm hyper aware of this issue, I don't believe I've ever seen The Cardigans wearing a cardigan! Or The Carpenters ever holding a hammer! This is rocking my world! Thank God for The Butthole Surfers!

Personally, I wouldn't have any issue buying a tablesaw without this kind of safety feature. You'd think that after loosing a good part of my finger, that I'd be a bit gun shy. But I know why that accident happened, and it wasn't because I wasn't paying complete attention. It was because I was too big of a douchebag to continue arguing with my then boss. He wanted me to do something unsafe, to save himself an hour of time getting the right material. I argued the safety concerns, and he shrugged them off and insisted. I didn't stand my ground, and sure enough things went bad. That mistake won't happen a second time. This is not to say that unexpected things can't still happen, I'm just saying that I've been using a tablesaw for 48 years now, and I'm hyper aware when I'm on a tablesaw. I know what causes the saw to grab and kickback material. I won't use a tablesaw without a riving knife anymore. A riving knife can stop 95% of most kickbacks. My biggest concern with a tablesaw is how well the saw is made. Powermatic is still one of my favorite saws and still on my want list. Fortunately, SawStop is also a very well thought out and well built saw. The inventor never intended to manufacture saws. His original intention was to sell his safety feature to companies already manufacturing table saws. They didn't have the foresight to see the potential there and thought it wouldn't be cost effective. So he went out and built his own saw, with his patented safety device. A really stupid move for all of the manufacturers that said no to him. Anyway, I'd like to have this safety feature, but I'd like to have options on a saw that SawStop doesn't currently offer. That's why I'm interested in other companies achieving the same safety standards.

Imagine life without twinks in wet jockstraps! Damn, not sure I can blame that on spell check.

If it weren't for the competition in the 'Best Twink Buns' contest of 1972, at The Stud, we may never have innovated to the 'Wet Jockstrap' stage walk, after the talent portion.

While I think it's a beautiful art piece, I don't think it would be conducive to long turtle life.

I will gladly offer you a crumpet with marmite, just don't ask me to eat one with you.

Well that's good news. Not that there's anything wrong with the SawStop, but competition generally brings about innovation. It's something I'd like to see all manufactures offer. It's about saving digits, not profits.

A Costco bagel. I think they're cross breeding bagels with English muffins, but it's still better than a crumpet.

That's one Synergistic Research power chord. True, but I have this thing about being symmetrical. Seriously though. It's new. It's going to come way down in price.

And please, let's use this thread for new projects we'd like to share. New tools you find interesting, or any other woodworking related topics.

I think there are enough woodworkers on HC to warrant a thread now. Between Myself, Milo (AKA Al, AKA DOTU), Naaman, Doug, Jeff, Marc and I know there are others. I thought it might be nice to have a thread to keep up to date on various projects, new tools, new accessories and new enovations. For example: A new enovation I find very interesting, is a new blade stop safety system from The Felder Group. Like the system from SawStop, it's immediate, and it drops the blade out of the way before any damage to digits can be done. Unlike the SawStop system, it doesn't use a sacrificial cartridge to stop the blade. Don't get me wrong, the SawStop system was nothing short of a miracle in my mind. You sacrifice a $75ish cartridge and whatever the cost of the blade you're using. And a separate cartridge for stacked dato blades. But again, a couple of hundred dollars vs. a digit or more? It's a no brainer. But along comes The Felder Group (Felder, Hammer & Format 4) with new technology for sliding tablesaws. The PCS system simply drops the blade out of contact with your flesh. No damaged cartridges to replace, no damaged blade to replace, no over-inflated ego to repair (I'm an expert on that last one). Thoughts?

Almost as good as Patrick 182.

Oh yeah, Synergistic Research. I forgot about them. They don't make anything that's not completely legit. Not to mention Naaman can masturbate to that one better.

Don't be silly Naaman. Of course it will make a huge difference. I'd recommend my favorite for home appliances. At $5,400.00 you could spend more, but the returns diminish after that IMO. https://soundapproach.com/audioquest-dragon-high-current-power-cable-single.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwgb6IBhAREiwAgMYKRm5gpczm3YNmCXJeliGb3IcrSpaLE1Js1_A34YyJI829XeJ4g7a6MRoC1FEQAvD_BwE

I have to say, this thread is a bit less exciting now. Can we blow up some coffee beans, or add some non-dairy creamers to drive the aficionados crazy?
-

I know that you meant well, trying to help Naaman out. But I believe you might not know him as well as some of us. Knock yourself out Naaman! OK, I'll stop derailing this thread now.
