Sash weights, what to do with them?

LOL!......

Damn, sure hope Leon doesn't see this:-)

I always wondered why our two Festool fans never moved up to Mafell. Definitely more status ....if $$$$ is yer metric. ;)

Oh no! You mentioned metric. That's always good for a 100-post thread with some good discussion and some major rabbet* trails.

What is the equivalent SAE value of a metric dollar?

Is that 100 metric posts or 100 SAE posts?

Is a metric rabbet trail deeper than an SAE rabbet trail?

A gravity stock feeder comes to mind... When I worked at the Gunsmith Shop at Colonial Williamsburg there was a gravity feed on the hand cranked barrel reamer... The carriage that held the barrel had a hook on it. To that hook a rope was attached. The rope was in turn attached to a weight. As the reamer opened up the bore the weight pulled the barrel into the reamer bit. The beauty of it was that if the reamer hit a tight or hard spot the feed slowed down. Compare this to a power feed that would try to maintain the feed rate regardless of the cutting conditions. It seems to me that Wallace Gusler used the feed in the movie Gunsmith of Williamsburg--used to be widely available from libraries and was available for purchase from CW. at

I knew that would get more attention than the "Festool" reference. ;)

I have no need for a portable saw that cuts that deep. ;~)
