Wow! I've made a lot of sawdust in my time...even made a few finger joints and tapered table legs, but that's off the charts!

NOTE: I did say "seen", not "made", although I've made a few rabbets and dados in my time too, probably at about the same ratio.

My company specializes in making picture frames, +/- 99.99% have rabbets (believe it or not, the majority of the balance have no rabbets, and a minuscule portion have a dado). We currently make in the neighborhood of a half million feet a year, and I've been at it over 38 years. Do the math...

As far as making sawdust, our waste gets blown into a 48-53' trailer which gets replaced about every 1.5 weeks or so on average. The pellet company provides the trailers, picks them up and pays us $22/ton. A typical trailer is 12-14 tons. SURE beats the old days, when we used a half a 275-gallon oil barrel turned into a bucket for our forklift to load a farm truck, or - better yet! 30 gallon trash cans, manhandled one at a time!! That was when I learned the trick of, after doing such, to take off my (already soaking wet, but from body temp SWEAT) t-shirt, rinse it under ground temp water (about 55° around here) and put it back on. Almost as good as jumping in the river.

The glass is completely full. Half water, half air presumably. Personally, I'd have used something tastier.

I had a college roommate who thought that "research" sounds redundant. When he graduated, he wanted to do "search."

Working in a research lab, I have come to the following saying when we don't get it right and need to try again: "We put the RE in Research!"
