Moving My Saw

[Travis]

Well, I'm stuck between wanting to sit on my patio and watch the world go by and going into my basement and making sawdust. So I decided to merge the best of both worlds and move my saw outside! I have a covered patio section which should shield me from some hot sun and possible thunder showers. At night, I'll throw a trash bag over the saw in case it rains. I think I might be onto something here. Divine inspiration or genius!? I'll let you decide!

Great!

So you'll be doing it, just like a lonesome and romantic musician playing along on a patio.

I think it'll be Divine inspiration AND Genius.

Anyway we'll check out your new patterns and cuttings from now on, to know more about the patio effect

 

Have fun.

 

fEZ.

You may be able to get away with that in Montana, but here in Central Florida it would be a fool's fancy.

 

You say, "some hot sun," for us it's THE hot sun.

You say, "possible thunder showers," for us it's THE DAILY thunderstorms.

You say, "I'll throw a trash bag over the saw in case it rains," for us it's use the garbage bag to haul the rust heap that was once a saw to the dump.

 

As I write this we're going into our 72nd consecutive hour of rain -- over 13" since Monday morning. And yes.., we are called the Sunshine State.

 

Thank goodness for a garage shop!

Too funny. Yah, MT doesn't have much of a humidity problem. Quite honestly, we could use a bit more moisture during the summers.

 

Well, often in moments of genius, you also have blinding shortsightedness. I was pitching the idea to my wife last night when I found my idea had some serious holes. My son plays in the back yard! Most of the time we're out there with him, but sometimes not. He loves knobs, levers, pulleys and mischief. I figured unplugging the machine would cover the safety aspect. But then I realized that if I want to keep all of the parts on the machine in the place they are intended to be, I need to come up with another plan. I think I'll have to make a cart for the saw and pull it out of the garage when I need it. I figure it would be similar to a BBQ cart with two wheels on one end and you can push it around like a wheel barrel. So I guess I'll need to build that before moving my saw.

You must either live where they pipe in sunshine, or in a very good neighborhood. The problem you'd have here is that someone would steal the saw. My shop has to be locked up tight for me to even walk over to the house to use the toilet.

yup thats the way it here as well. turn around too long and its gone! damn tools seem to sprout legs and walk off

Hmmm...I must be lucky, I guess. Its certainly a risk, but I feel pretty safe it won't disappear. 'Course I wouldn't advertise the fact either...LOL.

 

I'm removing our backyard deck this summer because parts are unstable, and other parts have some dryrot. But there's a fair amount of wood that is in pretty good shape. I bet I could recycle some of that wood to make my saw cart. Maybe even make a small workbench! LOL...after work, I'm going to start measuring some of that lumber. The wheels are turning!
