Was there any mention of what storage he uses for his inventory of extra eyeballs?

I ended up buying one of those saws. I need to make a bunch of straight, 3" long cuts in a 3/4" (or maybe it’s 5/8") thick board and the only power saw I have is an old jig saw that doesn’t want to cut straight even with a guide.

I hope it’s as good as Rob and most of the reviewers say.

This is me for k/m.

Why are all @beschizza photographs so… unsettling? There has to be one where you don’t look like a terrifying evil elf, surely? Just one?

I am going to look into that vertical mouse. I have never heard about vertical mice before this and it seems like something that would help me

This is the first time I have ever heard Rob speak, he has a deep British voice which is the opposite of what I expected, don’t know much about him but I always thought he would have a higher voice and didn’t realize he was British or at least must have been raised in Britain or somewhere to have that accent. Sounds cool

Ryoba saws are a revelation if you’re used to standard western saws.
