In the joiners shop at the iron works where I served my time the had a notice above the 48 inch saw " please count your fingers after use"

I have no idea about wood cutting blades nowadays me and wood do not get on but i still have the egg rack and it's still used along with a book case hand cut dovetails that I made some 52 years ago at school so I could do it

Hope you sort it and keep safe

Hi Stuart, Yes I am coming from the opposite side as I have never really got on with metal but am changing that :) I also have a poker made in metalwork at school and a wooden tea tray all of which have survived down the decades, some how. Hopefully blade will arrive before chrimbo and this will help with modding a cross cut jig amongst other things.

  Hi Tom
                 When sawing plywood even with a fine high no of teeth blade, the feed rate of cutting should be considerably  reduced,  especially when cutting across the grain. Different veneers also react differently to sawing, and would suggest a few trial cuts and feeds on scrap material before taking the final proper cuts.

                                                           Good Luck 

                                                                                  Cheers David

And another tip....
Prior to cutting cross grain, score on the cut line with a sharp blade will prevent too much damage when you finally cut with the saw.....do both sides btw.....

Thanks David for the advice I will bear it in mind as I am just getting used to the TS.

Thanks also John for scoring tip I hadn't thought of that!

Now that the festivities are almost over I am going to get cracking on workshop and TS. Inspired by vtsteam's thread I am going to build some draws to store stuff although I am keeping majority of power tools inside as the workshop is pretty damp (I think) But can use up some wood that Dad had been saving as it might come in handy.. :) and get some from local timber merchants..

Anyway this is what I am thinking of getting http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390536129187
