Be sure to clean all sawdust from inside and under your saw before using it to cut steel. Sparks and sawdust are great fire starters and the smoldering is not always immediately evident. If you have a dust collection system it should be disconnected from the saw. A dust explosion is a real possibility and you will notice that immediately!

Good point Dick...I've had the saw dust in my 1" belt sander catch fire while finish sanding metal parts.... ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:47:05 AM PST US From: "Ed Grentzer" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Sun N Fun report --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Ed Grentzer" Well...there were three at SNF that I saw...no not three hundred, just three. Allan Wise's early sixties Piet, a nice Piet with a non-Piet rudder/vert stab. ( the rudder was rounded on top like one of the old German biplanes and the vert stab was just a real small triangle affair) and a red Scout that looked a lot like the red Scout that was at Brodhead last summer. Could it be??? I may have missed a few but I don't think so 'cause I must have walked 50 miles all over LAL, at least it felt like it. I walked past the spot where William Wynns' Piet was parked last year....It was a little disheartening that it wasn't there this year. So yeah there were only three but hey that's half as many as I saw at Brodhead last summer ;-) The rest of Sun N Fun was great as ussual and the airshow in the afternoon was awesome. The company was great and the weather perfect.

William was there, with his Corvair engines. Spoke with him briefly, he's doing well. No plans for another Piet just yet. The Piet with the rounded tail look like a French WW I airplane, especially small because it was parked next to JW French's Baken Duce, a decidely larger airplane. Nice work on it. I agree with Ed, about walking at least 50 miles! Craig Lake Worth, FL Bakeng Duce NX96CW PeoplePC: It's for people. And it's just smart. http://www.peoplepc.com ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 01:33:53 PM PST US From: "Barry Davis" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Tiger Moth / Pietenpol at Sun n Fun --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Barry Davis" The Piet with the Tiger Moth Tail was built by George Read. It was built as a bi-Piet with two wings, a radiator looking front and Tiger Moth tail. After George sold it, it was flipped over in a field. George bought it back and removed the lower wing. He grafted some of the lower wing onto the ends of the top wing and made the wing longer. I think 5 feet total. It sports a 0-235. George has built 11 +- airplanes with 3 of them Piets, and now is working on a bi-Breezy. We sometimes fly in to Twelve Oaks on our way to Sun n Fun and visit. George did let me fly it once and it flies very well.

You couldn't guess how far a hot spark can go. Many years ago I had a summer job in a sawmill as a firespotter for a welder. Three hours after a small job one day, even though the area was hosed down before and after the job,a fire popped up-20 FEET AWAY! They accused me of putting the entire pacific ocean on that one. The scary thing is that it could have quietly smoldered away under some piece of machinery then set the entire place ablaze even more hours later. Please don't weld, cut, grind or sand metal anywhere near your woodwork or paint. And wear cotton, not polyester, etc. ( That's another story. ) Clif, in torrential Vancouver.
