Glenn,
Just to let you know someone appreciates your humor regarding catching the blade on your clothes. This never happens to me when I'm in my work clothes but everytime I'm multitasking and in the shop with a good pair of slacks or shirt on, whammo.
Its so true. It is no wonder that the legend of Murphy came into being.
