    That must have been one heck of a move. Hopefully with movers involved, because that is a big shop. Probably 2 or 3 times the size of mine. When I moved 3 yrs ago, we moved the house...

  13. Why do I always put off cleaning my table saw blade?

    It only takes 5 minutes to do, but I always wait until I can't bare it any longer. Last night I was cutting a bunch of plywood for some shop cabinets and decided I couldn't stand the tear out I was...
