Five No-Shows, a Late Cancellation and No Honorarium

[jast]

That and “beat 'em all till someone confesses!”
Just guessing… ( )

[bpamplin]

Got a text as well as an email this evening reminding me of the @jphelps Shapeoko class tomorrow. Is that part of the system or did Jay send it?

I like it!

[jast]

I think this is the texting Luke referred to here

Calendar Texting

I think texting is currently broken in the calendar? Is this correct? Do we think more people would attend the classes they register for if we had texting reminders enabled? What if we had a text confirmation 24 hours before the event (“Text Yes to complete your registration”)

Seems like maybe it’s operational now…

We seldom lied as the punishment was doubled.
I say seldom…

What length is the blade on the big band saw?
I was thinking of doing some mesquite and the current blade is
acceptable but I could probably a better one to use.
Safety and speed are my main concerns. It will all be green wood
and just making billets for legs for the future.

Bandsaw blade length

I have historically bought blades directly from PS Wood or Laguna for my big saw. I am going to order a 142" Laguna Resaw King for the large saw after I look at the guide system better to ensure it will track. I have one for my LT18 in St Louis and it cuts beautifully, I upgraded to the Laguna ceramic guides which helped a lot also. I want to resaw some wood I brought down and don’t want to waste a ton on poor cuts. In my experience a good blade is the difference between 3 slices or 5. I do…

Holy thread drift, Batman!

Hi. You must be new here. Welcome to our Talk discussion forums.

[mkart]

I think it is actually 158”. Check with Laguna, I can’t remember but I think 142 was wrong

[mblatz]

That sucks, because I just ordered one for myself a couple of days ago

[mkart]

I just realized that post was before the space had the Laguna. We had the old grey saw which was 142”. I was referencing the Laguna saw that I owned in STL at the time. Now we own the same LT18 at the space.

Thread derail complete

Holy thread drift

as a mod I don’t even know where to begin on this one

[jeffbob]

Great. Thanks. Let me know when it rolls in.
No emergency on my part. I saw my doctor and he says I will live, at least, till the check I gave him clears.

lol… what if we just rename this thread to /c/?

[bpamplin]

No!!! Do anything but rename the thread. Its dedicated to the memory of my class where six of eight people stuck their heads in the sand and I missed the honorarium. A couple of days before my classes I send an email to cancel early if you can’t make it. I also put a link to this thread to show the problems.

[denzuko]

No worries. I was only making a funny at the thread drift and how similar it was to a chan site’s thread drift.

[bpamplin]

Yeah, I know. Being on Talk, I just have to overreact.

[denzuko]

Of course text on a digital screen does not have the full reflection of one’s voice so I can see how humor sometimes fails online.

Though this reminds me of this meme I found:

Maybe redirect to /dev/null ?
