VERY unusaul tool

[Daren]

I was image searching the web for a sawblade picture or clipart and came across this unique tool. I will credit the guy, since I am posting a picture from his site, http://www.smittysplace.net/circsaw.htm. Is that cool Jeff? This guy ought to be a member (if he is not already) he is goofy enough :D.

Unusual is not the word for that!  I'll bet you could sell those like hot cakes at some of the tool shows.

I thought the Squirrel Butter Knife was pretty nice, I bet those wood do well on E-Bay.

I liked it too. I had a 1/2 hour to kill this afternoon. It will hang on the wall in the shop, I want to see how many people even notice it. And if they do will they do a double take ???

Does it work as well if the blade is installed backword? ;D I got a good chuckle out of your post. Thanks

The image in the 1st post was copyrighted to another site so had been removed, but the idea is funny enough that I thought the post should stay  8)

Well, if I could remember who or where. A picture of one of those saws is in somebodys gallery. When I first saw the post, I was thinking " he never saw the other one" seems like it even had a cord on the handle.

Then we got into the whole intellectual property thing. Don't feel bad I'm as mystified as anyone on those rules. I figure I work for a living and my intellect isn't worth trying to protect. I guess some folks are right impressed with their intellect and feel it should be protected. Elsewise they just might have to work for a living too  :D.

I worked for one company that tried for 10 years to protect their furniture designs. The owners were always in court or at the lawyers. They decided to let it go and concentrate on what we were put here for, and the workplace again made great strides.

However, if a design gets into the wrong hands and fails, the designer is liable even when the plans are bootlegged  : We live in a strange world.

I worked in furniture factorys for years.  Over the years in fact several of them.  They were all the same about one thing. If they saw a new design on a piece of furniture they liked somewhere they'd send somebody to buy one.   Then they would take it completely apart and then make a pattern.  Then they'd  change the diminsions and the disign just a little bit.  Then start building new ones that would look the same, but the dimensions would be a bit different. There'd be just enough difference that there wasn't one  thing anybody could do about it.
