    "Savart’s Wheel, designed by Bart Hopkin, is widely acclaimed for the fact that it makes the most obtrusive, obnoxious and irritating sound ever known."

    I couldn't have said it any better.

    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.
