Imitation is the sincerest of flattery. I ripped that quote off from someone else ;-)

 

On the other hand someone also said "Stealing one idea is plagiarism. Stealing many ideas is research". That's what I do on this site. Research.

 

Just bear in mind that it is the pioneer (that's you) who is usually remembered and not those who follow.

The internet is full of those who will comb the pages to find an idea to make a buck off of it.

Be careful on who you share stuff with before you patten the idea. Everything has a price.

Those who make money on others and do not share the wealth will meet their demise in the long run.

8-) Knowledge was a gift from the great one who gives us life.....it was given to us freely, so shall we share our thoughts.

This is true. If you have any ideas for a product you intend to make money off of, keep them to yourself until you come out with it. Putting something on the internet is the same as publishing it to the entire world.

I have one of those Harbor Freight saws too.  I stole the idea from using it from Wichita Sam.  I think he stole it from the Japanese.  If a Japanese saw is made in China, is it still a Japanese saw?

In reality, they've had that setup for a while now I'm sure. I think it's cool tho that they propose a Japanese pull-type saw over their own 'brand'. The Nation really IS a revolutionay site :-) .

Unfortunately, ideas are a dime a dozen. Bringing that idea into reality is the real hard part. Finally realizing your dream is priceless. What makes this idea even better, is that it is just a marrage of two already existing tools. A Japanese saw and a miter box. Enjoy.

When I sold them the idea I was going to add your name to the list of inventors Wes, but it wouldn't fit on the check along with mine. Sorry. ; )

You're really paying for the miter box.  They're pretty cool (if it's the one I think it is).  They're built in such a way that the fretboard rides a pre-notched template that locks into place in the miter box.  As long as your fret board is properly zero indexed to the template, all you do is slide it until the template locks in place, make a cut.  Slide, lock, cut.  Repeat.
