What did you do in your garage today..?

It's getting harder to find non-carbide blades. It's important never to run a carbide blade backwards. All the teeth will fly off and become projectiles. I have a stack of blades I picked up from an old guy. If I'm doing something that may hurt the blade, I grab from that pile.

Indeed....never run a carbide blade backwards.......
I've used the same 7" plywood blade backwards for cutting miles and miles of aluminum siding/soffit.
Pipe is likely harder on the teeth.

Played "garage shuffle" to get the TY up on the lift.

Did you lower the lift or ride it onto the raised lift to see if you still had it?

Doubt i could. But Beth might be able to flip it up there. One of the things i am fixing is the bent left footpeg. Accomplished in this video.

TY inspection went well. Fresh fluids, new chain and a black seat cover too bring it back to oem will keep my daughter very happy. Might need new head bearings.

When was the last time it saw lube? Factory welds make me feel better about my welds. So shady looking and yet they have survived for decades.
