HOW TO DRIVE IN ATLANTA: 1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, Atlana. Old-timers are still allowed to call it Alana. 2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning. 3. The minimum acceptable speed on I-285 is 80 mph. On I-75 and I-85, your speed is expected to at least match the highway number. Anything less is considered 'Wussy'. 4. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Atlanta has its own version of traffic rules. For example, Ferraris and Lamborghinis owned by sports stars go first at a four-way stop. Cars/trucks with the loudest muffler go second. The trucks with the biggest tires go third. The HOV lanes are really designed just for the slow Floridians passing through who are used to hogging the left lane everywhere. 5. If you actually stop at a yellow light or stop sign, you will be rear ended, cussed out, and possibly shot. Unless there is a police car nearby. 6. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously. It's another offense that can get you shot. 7. Road construction is permanent and continuous. Detour barrels are moved around for your entertainment pleasure during the middle of the night to make the next day's driving a bit more exciting. Generally, city roads other than the main streets have more potholes and bumps (usually speed bumps) than most dirt roads in the countryside. 8. Watch carefully for road hazards such as drunks, ladders, possums, skunks, dogs, barrels, cones, furniture, cats, mattresses, shredded tires, squirrels, rabbits, and crows. 9. Be aware that spelling of street names may change from block to block, e.g., Clairmont, Claremont, Clairmonte. 10. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know it has been “accidentally activated”. 11. If you are in the left lane and only driving 75 in a 55-65 mph zone, k, e.g., you are considered a road hazard and will be “flipped off” accordingly. If you return the flip, you'll be shot. MOST IMPORTANT: If you get LOST, Look for a road named PEACHTREE... Then you are somewhere in Atlanta. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693249919.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693249919.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693249919.jpg Robert and Jane McEuin on their farm in front of their cabin near Choctaw City, Oklahoma Territory. c.1895. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693249919.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1693249919.jpg |

If you do as you say on a cross cut, it will rip the corner off the board giving you the last thing you want to see. On a rip it might not make any difference but you mostly see nibs on crosscut saws. At least that has been my experience. I have a small collection of old saws and I've sharpened and set a few with mixed results. Nothing beats a machine but old timers had to sharpen on the job. I suspect as with anything, some did it better than others. I worked as a super for a 2nd gen contractor whose father was a Swedish carpenter from the old country. I worked with another Swedish carpenter old enough to be my dad. These guys taught me a lot. One of the great stories was about hand saw sharpening. As it was told, once done with the saw, the carpenter would angle the saw down say 30º with the teeth up. He then placed a needle at the handle end and it was expected to slide down the row of teeth between the sets and sharpening angles. Each tooth is sharpened at 2 angles WRT to the blade and then set. Running the outside of the teeth gently along a stone one time produced perfection. |

I used to drive over through Atlanta to Road Atlanta from Montgomery, AL. Even in the early 1970s it was horrid traffic. Eastman Kodak held one day classes to teach quality control for processing film, and other subjects. It was always horrid to get to the building. It was back when underground Atlanta was a fun place to go to eat and find some beer.

I've also heard more than one of the resident experts say that's probably not the case. More than one person has said "try it and you'll find the nib will break off". The current consensus among the most knowledgeable folks is "it's for decoration". Most of the saws with nibs are old, and that's back when "simple" tools were still very expensive and had more decoration. Quote:

http://www.atlantatimemachine.com/im...928%20muhl.jpg From AtlantaTimeMachine.com: "At its zenith in 1972, Underground was all things to all people. That probably accounted for the diverse popularity of a place such as Muhlenbrink's, located near the entrance, where the legendary Piano Red held court. One night, the entire cast of "The Waltons" showed at Muhlenbrink's (by bojan). On their heels of John Boy and Co., came Gregg Allman, sipping Chivas Regal mixed with Coca-Cola, accompanied by Cher. Exit Allman and enter the Rolling Stones, big fans of Piano Red, who annually did an European tour. The partying was so heavy in those days, the joke around town was the Legislature was about to change the divorce laws to make the grounds adultery, incompatibility and Underground." |
