My wife comes home, forgets about the alarm, runs into the house and knocks my Forrest WW2 from a table onto the cement. I come home and see it lying on the floor with what should of been a chalk outline of the dead sawblade.

2 teeth gone, 3 chipped. Off to Forrest it goes for rehab.

Sad day.

Some questions:

Why did she enter through the shop door as opposed to the front door? I'm assuming that's the door she used to get in. Why was your Forrest not properly secured? I mean it would take a lot of force to knock something like that down and probably the table along with it?

Did she bleed?

Adrian,
Good time to make a place for your blades. I use a vertical row of ½” dowel rods. My blades are ether on the saw or safe on the wall.

One word of advice.

Be kind to your wife.

She was supportive of you having that blade to begin with. Accidents happen, there will be another saw blade at some point. (another wife will cost you much more than saw blades!)

You need to go apologize to her right now for having that blade in her way :) Seriously, Ihope she didn't hurt her self too bad.

It was on my drum sander, not hanging off. I'm thinking her purse hit it. Not sure why she went through the shop. Probably cause its a garage door vs having to unlock two doors through the front door. I had just taken the blade off the night before cause I was messing with my riving knife setup and hadn't put the saw blade back in.

I'd make a holder, but its my only blade.

She's fine. Didn't even touch her, she's not even sure how she hit it or how it fell. Might have to check the security camera video.

A sad tale but, we can rebuild. All will be well in the end.

I'd make a holder, but its my only blade. Go over to cripedistributing.com, and order you a Delta 35-7657 for $18 and shipping. It's probably the best blade value out there. I own two WWII's, one of which has never been on a saw. The 7657 is do everything blade,except cross cutting veneer plywood, or MDF.
