Good morning, I hope all is well out there! I closed on my house finally, got the keys and have been moving smalls is about all. I have a guy coming in the morning to blow more insulation in the attic, it has almost none being built in the 60's so getting this done will be a big help for heating and cooling it. I had a guy go by and mow the lawn yesterday, I cant do everything. I got a discount for installing a video security system so I had the boys out there with me mounting cameras crawling through the attic, its so cool to have youngens lol! Have a few other things to do and move stuff here and there, figure we will get moved in the next couple weeks! Ok so I have a brand spanking new Dewalt Miter saw coming in today, most call it a miter, I call it a chop saw cause thats all I use it for is to chop wood, dont do all the crazy angle and dont hang molding ever. So I was out in the shop chopping chopping short blanks for the VC, there is a small plastic piece on either side of the fence where the wood will rest near the blade, on the right side one of the pieces had a hair line crack in it that caused it to sit a little lower than the left, when I would chop a piece it would kick back into the blade and get thrown around the shop, at first I didnt notice the plastic piece so I swapped out to a brand new blade I had tucked back for a while, It cut a few blanks ok but then the started kicking back into the blade, hmmm. I started holding the blank at the right side of the blade like I have done 1000's of time, cut many more but then a piece kicked back into the blade, my index finger nuckle and all that is only about an 1" from the blade, like I said I have done this so many times I am just comfortable doing this, anyhow the blank ripped out of my hand the blade made a hella noise, I was stunned for a sec, I immediately yanked my hands back with a omgosh feeling all over my body, I looked at all my fingers turning my hands to see every side of them looking second looking giving them a third look not seeing any blood taking a huge sigh in relief. I was shaken, felt it all over my body, I said to myself thats enough for a day and I came inside, got on Amazon and have a nifty new saw that will be here shortly! I am so excited to get new gear. The other saw was great I cant tell you how many thousands of cuts it has made, I can surely say hundreds of thousands of cuts, I am thinking I should give it a out of service ceremony and lay it to rest properly all the while still having all my fingers, what a blessing lol!
I got a small batch of heaters in yesterday, gotta put them together and do some more testing, all is looking good for the VB you all, I am happy with all, just gotta get all the components in and figure out what I can do what I can get done and making it all happen, its fun yes but also complicated. Hang in there with me you all!
@RobotFart Glad you like what you see my man, want to make this easy for me and everyone else, it shouldnt have to be rocket science, lets have fun and make it simple, I am not one to wanna have to do alot of prep setup and thinking just to get baked doesnt make sense to me.
@Dan Morrison Aint it though bro, you know!
Alright yall off to the dr for a quick check and back to the shop to make the magic happen!
