Not a bandsaw, but I've experienced essentially the same problem. I
was trying to drill a hole sight unseen under a desk sight in the
process of running computer cables. I couldn't understand why it was
so difficult to drill. After ten minutes, I decided to run down to the
store and buy a completely new drill bit and tried it again. Still the
same problem. It took me well over half an hour with a whole lot of
cursing and swearing to realize that I had the drill in reverse. I
really am an idiot sometimes.

An no, never experienced the reversed tablesaw blade problem. G

ROTFL almost, I noticed after mounting the blade but long before adjusting the
guides.

In my defense I'd removed the blade and coiled it up for cleaning (tossed the
blade in a round plastic tub, sprayed with oven cleaner, and scrubbed), so the
saw was already adjusted for that particular blade when I uncoiled and
reinstalled it. I really had no reason to think I couldn't just fire up the
saw and start cutting. :-)

Bwaa hah hah! I used to drink Sam Adams a decade or so again (whenever it
first started showing up in my area), but only for a couple of years and I
haven't had one in a LONG time. I tried a Boston Lager a few weeks ago and was
rather repulsed... I actually used to drink this stuff? I like a beer with
flavor but Good Lord they don't need to beat you over the head with it!

I'm blaming it all it on Mike. I cut the birds mouth in the wrong
place
on six rafters this morning ... just what the hell was in that
Christmas
Ale??

Then again, it may have been that Texas Red Tongue Oil ...



Was he drinking Sam Adams Christmas Ale??? so was I, and ended up with
a heck
of a head ache.

Shiner Holiday Cheer is pretty darn good considering it is not a stout.

BTY I am currently hooked on Buffalo Bills Blueberry Stout. Yes
Blueberry!

I had a headache this morning too (which is when my bandsaw was making
fun of me), and I only had that one Christmas Ale! I agree with Karl;
it's Mike's fault. I mean who in their right mind would turn a bandsaw
blade inside out?

My favorites at the moment are Southern Star, Buried Hatchet. That is a
chocolaty, coffee, molasses flavored stout. My son introduced this one
to me and now I have an expensive habit. Prior to drinking this beer I
did not see the point in drinking beer.
This is made in a tiny brewery that did not exist 5 years ago.

My on find and a favorite is a Buffalo Bills, Blueberry Stout.

Anyone make a beer with nicotine in it?

I could then drink a beer and not keep reaching for a cigarette after 20
years.

I put a ribbed condom on inside-out once. The word "churro" comes to
mind.

I turned my literal mode to ON and read his "condom on inside".
The rest is history.

Aaaaand we've come full circle. :-)
You need a good beer after 16 or 17 hours of sleep.

Been there, done that on both table saw and band saw. Actually on the
band saw I caught myself but not before I had done most of the work of
installing it.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.....

Oh man - lots of work to do on you Leon! Beer is not about chocolate, or
molasses, or coffee, or freakin' blueberryes! You've been hanging out with
the Ladies of the Garden Club too much! Flavored beers! Of all things...
Lots of work to do on you...

Instead of a left-labeled saw blade, they could make a universal blade that
comes with stickers that you apply yourself. Cooler stickers would also be
available, at additional price. *wink*
