This is what I did for you our kids. Used a bull nose but in a router for the engraving. The graduations were done with a straightedge while the numbers were freehanded over pencil lines.

I then spray painted it black and sanded off the paint from the flat surfaces, leaving it paint in the engraving troughs.

Their heights are simply penciled on.

We’re pretty pleased with it. It looks nice and doesn’t feel out of place.

Pinky and ring finger for me too!

Thanks! He’s liking it so far so I likely will add a few extra cars. It was the first thing he pulled out this morning so I was pretty chuffed.

Maybe a flat car for hauling his other toys.

Yep FB is the way to go for local sales. I’m in a large metro area and exclusively use it.

Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.

One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.

He still does Red Meat?? That was my favorite part of the reading the (paper issues of) Onion way back in the day.

The neon sign should be reversed when viewed from inside. Larson probably got bags of mail about that one.

I’ve had the Laguna 1412 for a long time and am happy with it. A bigger saw will have a couple of advantages:

• The larger wheels allow the blades to bend less and therefore will have longer life
• The longer blade length gets you more teeth per blade so your blades will last longer
• A larger saw will be able to exert more tension, allowing you to use thicker/wider blades

So the usual advice is to get the biggest saw you can afford, assuming you have the electrical setup for it. Footprints are pretty similar.

With my 14" saw I primarily use 1/2" x 0.035" Lennox Dimaster Bimetals blades and get great results. With a 17"+ saw I could use a wider blade with lower TPI and resaw faster, but as a weekend warrior those time savings don’t add up.

I’ve also wondered about Ixonia’s unique name! Thanks for the owl and knowledge 👍

At my wife’s church people honk at each each other trying to get out of the parking lot. Brotherly love lasts about one minute after leaving the building.
