My band saw blade snapped right in the middle of a big pork shoulder order

That singing blade thing gets blown out of proportion. Metal makes noise under tension, it doesn't mean it's about to snap right then. You could run a blade that sings for weeks before anything happens.

DAE think the '20% down payment' rule is just a scare tactic for first timers?

It's like the old rules exist just to keep regular people from getting started, you know?

I think we're all too precious about using PVA glue for everything, my repair on a 1900s ledger fell apart after six months

Yeah, PVA can get weirdly brittle on that old, dry paper. Had a similar thing happen with a 1912 map, the glue just turned to dust. Wheat starch is a pain to mix, but it stays flexible.

Looking for a solid business attorney in Irvine/OC area?

You should reach out to Jafari Law Group. I used them for a dispute with a commercial landlord a while back and they were super professional. They actually listened to what I wanted to achieve instead of just pushing for a massive, expensive lawsuit right out of the gate.
