Triple decker BLT with mayo, is it a tomato slicer?

[Peter Christensen]

No but if you had added salt you would have had your mineral and covered all your bases.

It is not a flashy spendy thing that will have others doing a Boxing Day/Black Friday camp outside and trample puppies and kids to get to but it is a simple, practical thing that we will get use of. Sure could have used it a year and a half ago.

I’m pleased and hope Rob does this again.

I hope it's a Wraptor smartphone clip for a circular saw. Nothing I hate more than not being able to text or check email while making a cut.

Or maybe a torrefied, custom knob and tote for a circular saw.

[Warren Lake]

Peter would that be Himalayan salt?

[Peter Christensen]

NaCl sir. Just NaCl.

[Doug Garson]

Peter, not to change the subject but what were you doing a year and a half ago? Oh and no salt, (blood pressure).

[Van Huskey]

Oh and no salt, (blood pressure).

The newest long-term studies show low sodium diets have the same (or more) deleterious impact on blood pressure as high sodium diets. In fact, the largest study found the subjects with the highest blood pressure had the lowest intake of sodium and potassium and the inverse was also true.

[Todd Bender]

I leave it to my tastebuds to monitor my salt intake.

[Doug Garson]

Thanks Van, Googled salt and high blood pressure and found one of the studies which I think you are referring to. Interesting how many of the things we grew up believing turn out to not be true, like eating fat does not make you fat.

Doug a year and a half ago we had just got into our new house and there was lots for me to do.

I don’t add salt to anything since there is way more in the food than we need even if you avoid restaurants and premade foods. Had Kidney stones and the stone specialist said kidneys are lazy. It is easier for them to filter everything and put the salt back in the blood and dump the minerals. Less salt and more minerals go back into the blood. Up side is your tools don’t get rusty when you touch them. .

Disclaimer. I’m in no way a medical professional and anything I say can be taken with a grain of salt.

Well it looks like I don't have to keep the secret any longer. It is up on their website.

Rob if you ever want to give me one of those new Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Veritas Pocket Planes I wouldn't say no. It would be a lovely companion to my NX60.

Huh, well I guess if one needs a portable sacrificial grid that's a nice idea, but personally if I'm cutting on the floor with my track saw my 4x8 sheet of 2" insulation foam has been perfect for the last couple years and I think it was ~$15 at Home Depot.

Also, looks like if one wanted to go metal these might be a good option: LINK

This.

Pity, that was a lot of buildup. I guess it's interesting? In any case, thanks for the giveaway.

[Jim Becker]

I can see where this might be useful for both portability and storage, given that many folks don't have the best situation to store a big piece of insulation foam as an alternative method, even when it's cut into sections.

[Peter Christensen]

Some of us don't like foam dust either.
