Just finished watching Jeapordy and a contestant got credit fo a wrong answer.
The answer in the "shopclass" category was "The device that Stephen Glass invented that is found in the shop" and the contestant answered " the saw" and she was ruled correct. Sorry clue crew. Mr Glass invented the Saw Stop not the saw. Two completely different items.

Yeah, they're not always fully correct on everything!
Alex T can pronounce a lot of languages, but sometimes he applies too much effort... throwing in a "through-clearing khh" in certain Arabic and Persian words that just have an "h".
My wife sometimes gets a kick out of that. I had made this for her some years ago.... honoring the 'old country':

I watched the same show, and made the same metal note. It should have been 'saw stop'. Now, who invented the circular saw blade? - which would have been a better question. The Shakers - good for $2000 Double Jeopardy bucks.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

But of course it had to be! Men were quite satisfied with reciprocating saws.
Now the distaff side has no problem with circular logic, so why not a saw also.
