  1. Interesting week for me. Monday was a holiday, so no work. Worked Tuesday, Wednesday I meet my sister and dad in Roseburg for his memory doctor appointment (he is still progressing, but can stay in his home with some help), worked Thursday and took Friday off. Went to the rodeo with my wife Thursday and Friday nights, last night is tonight - Vetreans night (always a nice night). I have mainly done catchup chores yesterday and today. Maybe get in the shop tomorrow. Wife flies out on Monday at 5 am for training in central CA, flies back on Friday.

    It really doesn't happen Stick, the shop I used to work at years ago used this method and it was really nice. Foam will not melt from the saw blade, and the foam does not get sucked up into the saw as the foam is restricted under the piece you are cutting, and the foam does not fly around the shop at all, the best foam to use is old Styrofoam cooler type with the small bead granules. 

    IMHO it's far better than saw horses, and you get complete support of the piece you are cutting.

    I have used the pink foam board insulation with excellent results and none of the issues Stick mentioned. 

  3. I get Wood and Woodsmith. I like to thumb through them, sometimes they will have an article or project that interests me. I send shop tips to both and over the years, I have had about 8 or 9 tips "bought" by the magazines

  4. Over the weekend, I mainly recovered from hell week, part 2. Last week on the ODOT project, we removed striping Monday night, bridge joint seals on Tuesday night, permanent striping on Wednesday and Thursday nights. All said and done, I think I got less than 18 hours of sleep between Monday and Friday. Project is in cleanup and punch list mode now.
