confirmation..... The best thing a guy can do with a new waffle-faced rigger, is drive a buncha rebar stakes to take the 'sharp' outta it.......
Yea....we used to flatten em down a tich too...not so much that they wouldn't "grip" mind you.....
Here's another old trick from those who carpentered back before they had disposable carbide saw blades.....Don probably know this one too....when our last blade got dull we'd turn em around backwards in the saw and run em in a sand pile for minute or so.....it wasn't like a fresh blade but it would get ya by until the end of the day most times....
Ah...the good ol days before cordless tools...carbide blades...and nail guns.........yea right....
