RC,

Thanks for the endorsement on the Bosch. I'll look into it more. I've used the Matsushita blades, but only on bigger saws.

A good friend here in Alaska grew up in Old Lyme, even worked for a timberframer 20 years or so back in college there. He works Summers at McNeil River guiding folks at the falls watching brown bears. In this world of compound joinery, we're never more than a few connecting members away.

Best-

Zach
