I broke my last coping saw blade about 2 months ago, and finally got around
to ordering replacements. They showed up a little after Thanksgiving, but by
then, I had already misplaced the saw. Yesterday, the saw popped up, still
minus its blade of course, in (of all places) the saws and blades drawer. So
where do you suppose the package of replacement blades are? I know I saw
them a few times in the past weeks while looking for something else, might
even have moved them aside to make space for something. Any of you guys seen
my saw blades?

look for them.

They're with my shop flashlight, which has been AWOL since last
spring. My metric allen wrench set disappeared for several months so I
bought a new set. The next day the old ones appeared under the seat of
my scooter. A miracle. Now have two sets to lose.

Nahh, it's a brief transition to an alternate universe. One time I
went to get a stamp. I knew they were in the center console to the
car, which was a rectangular box with no nooks or crannies. Opened it
up and there were no stamps there. The next day I checked it in
daylight. Still no stamps. Got a new roll of stamps next time I went
to the post office, went to toss them into the center console and by
golly _now_ there was a roll of stamps in there.

Probably went to the same place that one sock of each pair goes, into a black

Most likely, your blades are is said black hole, having coffee with my pack of a

Been looking for them off and on for a year with no luck, and there aren't a lot

I've decided that it's time to locate them, though..

I have to keep my mind on a stout chain to prevent me losing it.
Unfortunately I can't find the other end of the chain I think it was
swallowed by a polka-dot wooden duck named Ida which flew south for the
winter and then went into business selling moonbeams to penguins who need
them in the manufacture of transient saw blades, glasses, wrenches and
interdimensional key rings oops it wasn't a polka duck it was a poltergoose

There, that explains everything.

To never lose anything ever again, tie EVERYTHING to a piece of string but
keep hold of the other end and don't let a goose get hold of it and don't be
persuaded to let go for anything or anybody. Colour code every string
differently. Simple practical and effective.

My bet is those blades came equipped with a set of those invisible

We used to love those ad screwdrivers. We'd get em by the handful and then
just mangle them for whatever we needed, grind em, bend em, shape em. Do
whatever, it didn't matter they where free and plentiful. We should have a
contest for the most creative use of one of those things. Now I'm not in
that type of business anymore and now I have no ad screwdrivers. :-(

Yup. Same here, but I did find some clues. Anyway, not to worry. Speaking of
the doghouse, though, when I asked if there was anything special She wanted
for Xmas, She said, "A jigsaw." Is that a trap, or what? So I went out of my
way and got Her some spare blades as stocking stuffers, too. (The need for
coping saw blades becomes less urgent in less than week now.)

I got more caulk guns than the entire Home Depot chain.

But if you don't throw it away, the blades won't turn up. Or you need
to buy new blades, but then the saw will disappear again. Dilemmas!

The first place I look when I can't locate one of my tools is at my
neighbor's house.

Jack Novak
Buffalo, NY - USA

I am joining this "can't find it & possible solutions" discussion late.
Here's my contribution.

My dad used to get really upset because he could never find a 9/16" wrench.
We would spend hours hunting that thing down. When I grew up and flew the
coop, I ended up at an industrial surplus place that had numerous wrenches
in a scrap bin. I fished out a goodly number of various sizes and a whole
bunch of 9/16" wrenches.

I sent the wrenches to him. He got upset at me. But years later, he thanked
me. He said he never knew how a bunch of 9/16" wrenches could come in so
handy!

As for me, I never could keep track of a measuring tape. I had to keep
buying new ones. I had several, but the just vanished all the time. Then
one day at the industrial surplus center, just love that place, they had a
sale on a big batch of tools. And on the shelf, they had a number of bright,
neon colored measuring tapes.

I bought all 14 of them. And I have bought more over the years as well. My
wife even bought me that giant battery operated meauring tape from Black and
Decker! I have several measuring tapes in my office, a couple in the living
room, one in each car and a couple in the wife's sewing room. And lots of
them in the shop as well. I am never more than a few steps from a measuring
tape.

I wish I could tell you that solved my vanishing tools problem. I still have
that malady. But as far as measuring tapes go, I am covered.

A friend of mine, over a period of weeks would steal a sock out of the
washing machine or dryer when his wife was doing laundry. She would line
them up on the back of the washer, waiting for the mate to show up. Then,
he put the whole bunch in the washing machine. She couldn't figure out
where they had been. He also told his new co-workers that his wife was a
native indian and that after marriage it had taken some time to get her to
use the stove instead of cooking everything over a fire in the back yard.
She couldn't figure out why everyone looked strangely at her at her first
company party. A hard man to be friends with as you could never tell if he
was putting you on or telling a truth.

Asexual reproduction. We're a necessary part of the cycle, a classic

to ordering replacements. They showed up a little after Thanksgiving, but
by
then, I had already misplaced the saw. Yesterday, the saw popped up,
still
minus its blade of course, in (of all places) the saws and blades drawer.
So
where do you suppose the package of replacement blades are? I know I saw
them a few times in the past weeks while looking for something else,
might
even have moved them aside to make space for something. Any of you guys
seen
my saw blades?

Probably went to the same place that one sock of each pair goes, into a
black
hole..

A friend of mine, over a period of weeks would steal a sock out of the
washing machine or dryer when his wife was doing laundry. She would line
them up on the back of the washer, waiting for the mate to show up. Then,
he put the whole bunch in the washing machine. She couldn't figure out
where they had been. He also told his new co-workers that his wife was a
native indian and that after marriage it had taken some time to get her to
use the stove instead of cooking everything over a fire in the back yard.
She couldn't figure out why everyone looked strangely at her at her first
company party. A hard man to be friends with as you could never tell if
he was putting you on or telling a truth.

Until the time that me and my wife got married, she had
never cooked on anything but a wood stove.
Paw-in-law is 90 and still doing so.
Wood stoves have the very nice feature of cutting themselves off
if you leave them unattended, gas is not so forgiving.
There is still a lot of food being burned beyond recognition.
