Don't be a mindless consumer -- Give it some thought before buying stuff.

You blame.
You saw.
You tinkered.

What do we see here?

* a narrow roller cage
* a fine-toothed finishing saw
* a 9.5 in. sleeve in two pieces.

What's the deal? The deal is you missed me cutting up the sleeve. Pay attention or go to your room.

Before you run out and buy a sleeve to fit this off-beat and seldom-used cage, and spending about as much as you would for a normal width sleeve, try doing this...

I don't need to explain it, do I?

Saw... sleeve... sawing motion...

Two to fit...

and a rinky one to spare.

Trim down the fluff.

Yet again...

there's your uncle Bob...
champing at the bit for borscht.

But if he has instead a habit of chomping, leave him behind, go out alone and eat twice as much. He won't thank you, but you will eventually elicit better manners in him. Should you not find this change of behaviour forthcoming, adopt another uncle -- and preferably before your self-inflicted double portions make you chubby and diabetic.

There's a lot to see just by looking.

Did you notice how the reflection of a shiny blade indicates if your cut is square to the horizontal?

Good carpenters from the old school always kept their saw blades shiny so that they could do their best work.
