When some boards are placed on the table saw, they don't seem to want to move. However, when others are placed in the same spot they move easily. Might this mean the ones reluctant to move are flat?
The 3M sand paper is good stuff. Every piece I've replaced has never had to be cleaned and works for a long time.
I can't seem to read the tape properly at around 44". Anyone else have a similiar issue? I cut a piece wrong, then made another and cut that piece exactly wrong again!

Some boards are nervous about being cut, so they are reluctant to accommodate your prodding them along. Have you tried speaking nicely to your boards?
When you mis-cut, reverse the blade, to remedy the error, then start over.
Doesn't 3M mean 3 Miles of board, to be sanded?
Measure 22" at a time.

My tape measure doesn't read right around 24". For some reason, the boards at that length end up usually shorter but sometimes longer than they should be. Also I noticed that the glue bottle being placed on the bench makes all my parts not fit together after I just had them together 10 minutes before.

Shop observation # 302. (Yelled loudly) " KEEP hoses and extension cords OFF the FLOOR when not in use!!!"
In the same vein, trying to find a dropped screw by dropping another screw and seeing where it goes results in two lost screws. Consistent--but still not productive.
What I notice is that when I want to use my tablesaw, I have to move stuff to my bench. But if I want to use my bench, I have to move stuff to my table saw. (Small shop syndrome). I NEVER can use either without moving stuff first.

It's the curse of horizontal surfaces. Any horizontal surface will have something placed upon it in less than a week.

Hm... If I use your tape for the longer boards and you use mine for the shorter boards, maybe we can work around this problem. I hate having to get the board stretcher out. ;-)

There's your mistake. You should have immediately turned the original piece around and cut the same amount off the opposite end. It would still be wrong, but now it is balanced.

They're anti-gravitational devices, generating powerful forces which attracts stuff!
My observation is that whenever I clean off the bench, the next day it is "junked" up again. As soon as I find that SOB who does this, he will get his!

Do you have the Festool board stretcher, the one with the 110" extension rails or is it the homemade version? I looked at the Festool version at Woodcraft, It would save me a lot of time over using my shop built version but can't bring myself to spend the $1500 on it. Maybe we should lobby the lumber industry to make lumber that is self stretching instead.
We could exchange tape measures but mine is a 24" problem where as yours is a 44". I think then we could solve both of our problems at once. Hopefully they wouldn't get damaged in transit and then both of them would have the same problems.

Another observation I made this weekend, Whatever blade you have in the TS is the wrong blade just when you are hurrying to finish something. It is never wrong when you have plenty of time to finish. It must be a conspiracy between the clock and the saw.

The new composite lumber and a heat gun affords many a fix for that forgotten kerf allowance. When wll the saw blade companies finally learn?
Many suspect this is how the 2 x 4 ended up 1.5 x 3.5" originally.

Some horizontal surfaces are very attractive. Perhaps female ones?
1 - Yes
2 - Great

I've found that the boards which move on the table saw the most, are the ones most likely to not survive the fall to the floor.
Sandpaper rule: When you blow the dust off the wood, blow the dust off the sandpaper too.
Every flat surface becomes a table. This is especially true when you're making a table.
When you start dropping things, it time to take a break.
If you can't find the tool you were using just a few minutes ago, it's either time to clean your shop, or time to retire.

For $1500, I could cut enough pieces too short to finally get the idea they should be cut close but long, to trim to size later! I'll have to stick with the homemade version.
Hm... Maybe there's another solution to the tape measure issue. The Lee Valley story tape. They won't have any issues around the 24" or 44" marks.

No, I need one of these......
