No pictures please. I can see the head lines now: Table saw is a great substitute for laxative! Sully, What kind of splitter were you using, an imaginary one? Kelly Mehler does a demo using a piece of cardboard that convincing. When I taught school, I took the guy that made you know Darwin was right and had him free hand a piece of 1/4" ply. Then the smaller guys figured out that they could stop a piece of ply either.Glad to hear everything is still "in place". I take heed to your warning. Every time i cut on my TS it scares the $h*+ out of me.
