Took a total of 4 saws down to Piqua, OH. There is a sharpening service down there....does good work, too.....usually about $10 per saw. Last trip there, I noticed his ceiling fan...was still running, but..was missing 2 blades.....something about sharpening a garden hoe....handle happened to be in the wrong spot..... Just so happened...I had a ceiling fan still in my van..never even been out of the box.....even had the Light Kit.....I didn't need it....Chuck looked like he could.....we did a bit of "horse-trading"....Sharpen my 4 saws, and you can have the ceiling fan. Had to wait a few weeks....as everyone with a mower ( and no grinder) suddenly needed their mower blades sharpened up....and their hedge trimmers....and....you get the idea.. Finally gave him a call..."Yep, saws are done!" Which meant a 40 mile trip down to pick them up, and 40miles to get back home....charge? Nada....still hadn't managed to hang the new fan...although he has opened the box to see how it will get hung... These were the 2 I wanted the most, as I might have a job for them shortly....I said 4 saws? Well, there was this 18" frame saw.....I never could get the 9ppi sharpened just right....then there was this 100 yr old saw.. The only difference between this and a Disston D-8...is the fancy carved handle....Disston stopped making these before 1932, about the same time as they stopped making another saw I have.. The Disston D100 ( no hypen, the 100 was inside of the BIG capitol D) Ever pick up a saw and the handle fits your hand like it was made just for your hand? That is the way with both of these 2 saws. Both are now as sharp as they were when new. And other than the carved handles.. They are the same as a Top of the line D-8. Might get a bit of use out of these. So....next time one of the saws gets a wee bit dull.....it will get taken to Chuck's Sharpening Service, on South Street, in Piqua, OH. When things cool off in my shop..I'll put these back to work...

Been looking at ceiling fans. Just a nice basic 5 blade fan. Looks like all of them marked "inside use" have blades made of mdf. Fans rated for outside use have blades made of abs. We have one fan in the house now with mdf blades - in the kitchen - and they droop. Maybe this is from moisture, or maybe 'cause they are mdf? Will mdf blades start to droop after awhile even in dry rooms? Cal
