TRINITY'S 3rd annual 2012/2013 icing challenge

[DetectorGuy]

If I had to do it all over again, I would have cut less off the rakers. I made the mistake of cutting them off completely before even trying it. That was too much. It cuts like a banshee until I get all the way through the ice, then the teeth are like paddles with no rakers to "block" each of the teeth from grabbing a big gulp of water. It bogs my saw right down. I took a hint from Trinity and marked the depths on the side of the bar so I can do a plunge cut off to the side and confirm the ice thickness. After I know the thickness I cut the hole 2" less all the way around before getting into the actual water.
