Wow, did he learn a lot! With him hundreds of miles away, I couldn&#8217;t make him a cake for his mid-winter birthday, so I did something almost as good: a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Half-birthday\">half-birthday cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I decided to surprise him with a cake in the form of a power tool he&#8217;d been wanting: a SawStop table saw. If you haven&#8217;t heard of these, you&#8217;ve missed out. These saws have sensors that detect when a finger or other meat touches the blade, and then stops the blade so fast that the only injury is a nick. It&#8217;s worth watching this six-second demo with a hot dog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SawStop | SawStop Hot Dog Demo | SawStop.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fq3o0VGUh50?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Amazing! What better way to celebrate a half-birthday than with something designed to keep you from having half a finger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The saw blade was an interesting challenge. I went with a <a href=\"https:\/\/dutchwafflecompany.us\/blogs\/blog\/what-is-a-stroopwafel\">stroopwafel<\/a>&#8230;mmm, caramel goodness. A chocolate bar played the part of a board being hewn in twain, and voila!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I make birthday cakes for each of my boys.
