:thumbup: Is it going to be done in time to go to TN in a few weeks?
I think I'm going to put together a charcoal forge some time this summer. I don't trust the gas forge I made last fall.

Well it either works or it doesn't. What's the worst that could happen?
In related news, we had to take back a full propane tank today... couldn't get the gas out of it. Not sure how they managed to fill it with a bad valve

:thumbup: Turtle porn.
Trade, I hear mating pairs of Canada Geese make great sausages
Nice watercraft Derek!
My sister and her family came to visit today. They live 3.5 hours away and are staying the weekend with my parents. Apparently my sister has a friend in a band that is playing local tonight. My parents are watching my sisters kids, and my mother inlaw is watching ours so we can go on a double date to see the band play :thumbup: Its been a little while since we have actually gone out

Had a blast this weekend, went up to the cabin and just messed around, I'll try and get a tread up tomorrow sometime.
Recently I've been getting into smaller knives, and away from my bk10 which I had started to consider a little too big for what I want, well I broke it out again this weekend, and boy was I wrong! It is still by far my favorite, it just plain works! And it splits better than almost any other knife I own.
It's making me want to get another and grind the ramp off, and maybe straight clip it.

flesh detection is the future... the marketing says 10 people a day lose fingers/etc. 60,000 accidents per year.
what's the reaction speed on the Bosch? http://toolguyd.com/bosch-reaxx-gts1041a-safety-table-saw-promo-video/ ETA: Fall 2015, i'll be cutting a lot of wood by then
looks like this bad boy is $1500? which is $900 more than MSRP at the big box store. probably worth it. 4HP? how? is it 240v conversion? at this price point as well, the SawStop is definitely a contender.

i will probably end up with a Bosch job site saw (though not a flesh senser) - it see them a lot (with riving knives even) for not a lot of money new and used here and there... Love the stand. it would live in my garage and get a bunch of use outside. almost bought Bosch AS my saw, but figured a cabinet saw was my siren song of doom. i love the dust collection, and other features.
my SawStop is a permanent shoppe solution, only cost $1000 more, but is a full on cabinet base saw with 36 inch extra ripping capacity and a lot of swank flat cast iron top, and a damn sexy control structure. yeah, you can turn off the flesh sensing trigger, but it will still tell you what it sees and/or would do, for testing purposes. new material? not sure? test! the fence is the best part, though a cross cut sled will be my most used jig i imagine. need to get a dado stack down the road... oh yeah.
$100 blade? in a job site saw? lol. most blades i see that i'd want to use are $80-150 maybe in the good saw. far end is super special. *IF* i activate the safety, that's $70 for a new cartridge, though SawStop may replace it for free if i send it to them (depends on reason why it coded). the blades can USUALLY be restored for $10-15, even new tips welded on. though i'm told that often, you just need the bladed examined by a proper sawyer for inspection; actual destruction is rare. triggering is fairly rare too. cheaper than a trip to the emergency room. a lot of people claim to have never triggered. mmm.
as above, the riving knives; the way Sawstop does it, is rather slick. you actually get TWO depending on your cutting needs (esp for non through cuts). the anti-kick back pawls are nice (and can be made to go away if you have need), and the guards are lovely. for $200 or less, one can get a secondary guard set with its own dust collection, meaning MOST of the dust just never happens - a dust system is on my list for sure - $150 for the HF looks like a good start, but < $500 or so for one of the low end Jet's. plus it's a good shoppe vacuum with a floor sweep if you set that up. nice.

Wow, snark is drawing heavy vacuum. I've been working on my shop and my Brute for the last couple hours. End result? I have a Brute that seems actually functional as a cutting tool. I know, it's hard to believe, but the proof is in the shavings......
I started out trying to get it to 50°.....I soon abandoned that and just tried to keep it under 60°, which still took MANY passes on the 120 grit belt. I guess there are reasons it's called "the Brute". It sure was a beast to reprofile.

Looking good Mike.
Been gone all day to my wife's Aunt's house. Had a good time but didnt want to stay as long as we did.. But i also wasnt going to rush the wife as i know we are moving in a few months and want her to have time with her family before the move.
Got a surgery Monday Morning and wont be able to eat anything good for a couple weeks following it. So the wife has been spoiling me with food the last few days. I had a rack of ribs, some fried chicken, collard greens, catfish, okra... All my favorites, and tomorrow for lunch she is taking me to get another big ribeye and asparagus.... She even called it my last meal.... Im wondering if she paid the surgeons a little extra to do a little extra HAHA.
