About wet wood: Some basic chemistry is in order here. The conductivity of distilled water is incredibly low. So also is the conductivity of wood, because it is completely nonpolar and does not allow any charges to migrate, like distilled water. The main chemical used in "pressure treating" wood is...

I am interested in what circumstances an ordinary, non-suicidal idiot could injure themselves using my tool. Please elaborate. By touching the blade. Come on, that is reaching. Pun intended! Can you think of any way to cut yourself using my saw when your hands are 12" away from the blade the entire...

You sound like an ideal role model. I now completely understand your choice of an avatar. -------------------------------------- Your tool + an idiot is completely unsafe I am interested in what circumstances an ordinary, non-suicidal idiot could injure themselves using my tool. Please elaborate.

I do not have much of a problem going against authority, unless it means risking somebody else's safety. If the elevator was tested to ensure a significant safety factor, that's acceptable, but saying it was "not allowable under code" or something like that seems like trying to show off that you ca...

I believe thats correct, but alot of what people say is constructional criticism. GRANTED, it does get out of hand, but you respond in kind. I think an attitude adjustment is needed by everyone, not just you. I think this whole situation has gotten way out of proportion in the past few days and peo...

My only comment on the thread is it is getting close to violating rule #1. I'm up to discussion, but not a famefest. I posted ab out my invention. You asked a reasonable question about torque. I answered it, hopefully fully, and clearly. This is how a forum should run. If you have a technical issue...

The issues of kickback and throwback were discussed earlier in another thread, and there are already very (very) cheap solutions to them, like a featherboard. I am pretty sure that using a table saw in the rain isn't advisable in the first place. And in any case, since rain is pretty close to disti...

That really looks like a fun bike.

Enjoy!

Well I have to admit that I sleep like a baby.

I wake up every two hours wet and crying.

Yep, a little attitude adjustment. Great song: ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, HANK JR. I met an old friend in the bar the other night He got a little drunk and he wanted to fight; He jumped up and challenged every man in the room. And just about the time he got the words out An old boy jumped up and closed hi...

As someone who HAS worked with table saws in a cabinetry shop and has seen friends who are skilled workers get their fingers cut into, I can safely say that this would be an excellent investment. My employer lost close to $15,000 in an accident where a worker cut a single finger tip off and into th...

I made this.

Does it count?

I'm certainly not supporting you. You seem to think no invention but yours is perfect. I strongly dislike you. I will join a sports team and you may be my athletic supporter. Let us know when you invent an imperfect invention. Didn't you know that many inventors thinks that their inventions are per...

Mark,

I love it when a friend makes more money than me.

I am more proud of my $100 elevator that I would be had I purchased a $20,000 commercial model.


Being really cheap is a major hobby of mine.
