Title: I'm UPSET with "FD Mike"!!!
Post by: GrayBeard on February 22, 2012, 04:32:02 pm

Seems like lately every time I get blades those little wires he uses to 'bundle' them are getting smaller and smaller and smaller.....

Could not possibly be my ol' tired eyes, Could It?

Just funning you Mike!

Hey GB.....
Do you know the price of copper these days?  ::)
Watch out! Someone will steal your stash of blades just for the copper wire!  :o
I just heard on TV that it costs a cent and a half to make a penny!  >:(
I'm on Mikes side as far as keeping too much valuable metal around.  ;D

Agree on Magnifier and the Copper!

We have had a rash of "Gutter Burglaries" here in our area...Also homes under construction have to be 'secured' before the plumbers can start installing the copper water lines!

RE: Magnifier...Eye Dr. appt. on 14th of next month and I will finally ask for the helpers.

Has anyone installed a clapper to turn on their saw?

A clapper LOL? Sounds intriguing. Problem is I would forget and clap by accident and end up a couple fingers short..

I touught I would try one of those clappers, after i fitted it the girlfriend refused to stand there to clap for me, so I went back to ordinary switch and gave up on the "remote operation" type   ;D ;D ;D

I've been saving  those  little  copper wires since I started scrolling a couple years ago.  I estimate I'll have a pound approximately 2099.

Dear Mike,

Please wrap all Graybeard's future blade orders in 12 gauge copper wire, and don't forget to adjust his blade price accordingly!!! :P ;D
