Just one small problem, rent your car as a taxi to whom Elon? Fucking Batman??
Yes, they’re a main creator of ALPR’s.
You can find them unsecured online sometimes and watch their feed: https://youtu.be/BQTy9XVeSaE
Adding a few bits here:
-
see that plastic cover over the blade? It will get annoying and you’ll want to remove it. Don’t. That’s like removing the seatbelt from your car. There should only be 2 times where it would be necessary. The first and most common is if the cut you are making requires it (you aren’t sawing all the way through the wood/the work piece cannot fit between the table and the guard). Remember to put it back after. The second is if you’re replacing it with a better one. (Typically seeking better dust collection or a “floating” guard). Usually at that point, it might be good to consider if you’re asking too much for the current saw; there’s no lack of companies and products offering solutions to make your tablesaw “better”.
-
See the red blade insert? Treat that as your no finger zone. It’s a big area yes, but an accident in that area can equal no fingers.
Over time you’ll develop a “healthy respect” for the tool where you will be able to operate it confidently, while also being aware of what it could do if you let your resolve waiver. The same is true with chainsaws and any other tool.
I’m going to give you 3 resources that really helped me get the most out of mine.
The first two are videos that cover some techniques on zeroing your blade. (Note, mine is belt drive and hangs off the back so it’s slightly different, but a majority of what they cover is for ALL table saws).
Stumpy Nubs - Aligning table saw : This is the only reference I’ve seen outside some much older resources that cover adjusting the table at 45*. This REALLY helps move it from very good to great in my experience.
Workshop Companion - Table Saw Tuning : This is FANTASTIC as the history of the old table saw he’s working on is interesting, and he really explains the why’s behind each adjustment. He has a short about tool vibration where you can see and hear how smoothly you can get an average saw to run. The loudest part on mine is the relay engaging the electric motor now.
Yes, you can get by without spending a weekend tuning and swearing at yourself for wasting your time (theres a period where it absolutely sucks until you’re done), but once you’ve gotten it done and done right, all your cuts will benefit. You’ll have a much more enjoyable time in the shop overall.
The last is a book called The Accurate Tablesaw by Ian J Kirby. This book covers not only some of the topics above, but more on safety and technique. I’ve gotten more out of this book than most other woodworking books I’ve found.
I know the above is a lot (more than I was expecting…) but I DO hope this helps some as you continue your journey. Remember to have fun with it! And reach out if you ever need an ear to bounce ideas off of. I’ll try to not be so long winded next time…!
Holy shit thanks, I’ve never heard of this site before!
I have a running joke I tell my friends that one day, the rich will flatten mountains, so the only way to see their natural wonder will be in VR. That’s when they will become mainstream. Not because they offer some new technological advancement, but because they’ve managed to capture the spaces we use to get away.
I think it’s more fair to say people will still comply, rather than saying nobody is against it.
It’s amazing how far most people will bend before breaking.
iirc, we were pretty dependent getting nitrates for gunpowder from urine and bat guano until we were able to start synthesizing it.
First time in my life, I got to stop through the Kennedy Space Center on our way home from Florida. Its been a dream of mine to see a rocket launch from there and unfortunately I don’t have the time available to go down and see Artemis 2 launch in person as our vacation was last week… but I DID get to see her standing proud on the platform!
One day I’ll get to see it fly in person… one day 😊
I’ve been enjoying Kate as my Linux alt
So that’swhy kitchen isn’t finished yet, I estimated about 3-4 months… guess my kid(s) will get to enjoy it or become labor!

I’ve used these when we’re were in Scouts canoeing in Minnesota to collect our water from the middle of the lakes.. but I’ve never thought about using one like this.. I feel silly and now I’m excited about a bucket too.
