Hi Blake,

Great Post!!!! I liked it some much that I watched all the way to the end. I simply could not tear myself away from it. Have you thought about giving up woodworking and going into movie?

Seriously the post was very informative and, while I don't think that Carter is in jeopardy of bankruptcy, it will prove to be a useful guide to those who want to follow a similar path.

Wow. four hours and saved $150. You should take out a patent on the design and use the royalties to buy more tools.

Sweet!
Hey Blake ~ can you see any reason the handle could not be facing the rear? it would eliminate the notch for the gard/guide and save on head bumps. Of course it isn't quite so convenient but then how often do we change blades?

Nice job.

My question is, how does it work after 2 years? any improvement suggestions?

thanks

It still works great! I have no issues with it whatsoever. I just wish I would remember to use it to de-tension the blade more often before I leave the shop for a while.

David… sorry I never answered your question. Yes, I suppose you could make it face the rear.
