    It is a tried and tested philosophy for problem solving: The bigger the problem, the bigger the hammer.

    Crikey, I hope everything works out well for you Doug, you are in good hands.
    Probably the worst operation one could have is the removal of one's sense of humour.

    Best regards,

    Have you guys got round to sharping up a saw yet?
    Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

    Rob

    If they sharpen their saws as well as their tongues, they will be dangerous !

    Matt

    This is a double edged saw from Disston's 1914 publications:

    This is a double edged sword, probably from a world of fantasy. You would have to be very careful how you handled this one.

    Despite the sharpness of these weapons and tools remember that the pen is mightier than the sword and, as the comedian Marty Feldman used to say, much easier to write with.

    I think we are back to the sharpness of the tongue and my earlier comments. Q.E.D.

    Good luck for the weekend festivities, I'm still snowed under with things around here, but I will be there in spirit. Plan for a saw making class next time around.
