Canada, awful wild fires last summer.

Yep! They let the top expand and contract with the seasons.

Gotta spend about 10% of your "shop time" on organization and cleaning!

Thanks! We're joking that it'll wind up as a dorm room coffee table some day.

I haven't done a shop post. I'm lucky to have a large, clean space for my hobby and posting about it would feel like bragging to me.

Pinky and ring finger for me too!

That just refers to the source code. How instances operate is a separate thing.

Fixed for me!

What were others getting linked to from comment replies?

I made something similar as a personal serving plate / cutting board for our toddler. We often cut up his food, and it saves a dish to combine the two tasks.

Yep just some grooves from a V-shaped scraper.

Never. Bluetooth headphones and connectivity in the car.

I've had the Laguna 1412 for a long time and am happy with it. A bigger saw will have a couple of advantages:

  • The larger wheels allow the blades to bend less and therefore will have longer life
  • The longer blade length gets you more teeth per blade so your blades will last longer
  • A larger saw will be able to exert more tension, allowing you to use thicker/wider blades

So the usual advice is to get the biggest saw you can afford, assuming you have the electrical setup for it. Footprints are pretty similar.

With my 14" saw I primarily use 1/2" x 0.035" Lennox Dimaster Bimetals blades and get great results. With a 17"+ saw I could use a wider blade with lower TPI and resaw faster, but as a weekend warrior those time savings don't add up.

Used upper cabinets out old kitchens have served me well for storing odds & ends.
