    John,
    Google "Bambi meets Godzilla", if the dude with the circus mallet doesnt suit. Theres an idea in there somewhere, Im sure.

    LOVED the comet!

    I don't know how this is even remotely possible, but we missed it. The collective "we".

    In the basement workshop, there was a HF 2HP single-stage dust collector. With PVC piping. And....he did not ground the PVC. It exploded from build-up of static electricity.

    Either that, or in the basement workshop was a 5 gallon pail full of paper towels and cotton rags he had been using to apply Waterlox. Spontaneous combustion.

    Either that, or he was out of town for a weekend, and did not unplug his pancake compressor. When the OEM air leak triggered the tank refill cycle, the motor switched on and an electrical short started a fire.

    Either that, or he had the grill set up on the back patio. As he was walking through the basement shop to the grill, he dropped a plate full of hot dogs on his TS, triggering the safety mechanism, and somehow the destruction of the blade brake created sparks that brought the house down. I am unclear on how exactly this could happen, so someone needs to fill in the gaps. It might be that his $11.95 HF As Good As Any other Brand Stacked Dado Set self-destructed and threw the tips into the steel saw frame.
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.
