For the people who wonder what the glowing string is: it's Electroluminescent wire (or EL-wire for short). You can also buy it in panels and you can cut both wire and panels to shape and still have them glow, so long as the two opposing laminates do not touch eachother where you made the cut since that will short circuit the whole thing.

[@SpyralStormTeacup]

I always used to leave this stuff laying in my old shopping carts when I was younger in case I wanted to sew it into clothing/fabrics 👍

[@sevenproxies4255]

@@SpyralStormTeacup Yes, you can do that. However, unless you come up with a way to easily detach the EL components from the fabric, it will be difficult to launder the fabric in a washing machine without risk of destroying the EL components.

[@SpyralStormTeacup]

@@sevenproxies4255 That's no problem to work around. You can sew tabs on clothing to line or weave for it to be removable, or else if it does happen to be worn on the body or say get splashed with mud, lol, wear it sparingly to minimize cleaning needs, hand washing is easy and a healthy habit to have. Not all fabric, too, I would see as clothing-sweat worthy. Fabric is great environmental decor, flexible for lighting needs putting up and breaking down, and was looking into sewing colorguard performance gear, LED staff and performance mods for stage effects, etc. Whether practical or artistic project purposes, it's fun supply to play with!

Crazy dangerous to cut a circular piece of stock without clamping it down. Be careful dude. Don’t want to see you only counting to 9

[@ggooaa100]

Why is that? Just curious.

[@VTNick16]

Its slightly safer since he is using a softwood. Only because if the blade were to catch, it would just blow out a section of that stock. When you cut at a miter, you are switching from a true cross cut, to almost a rip cut on certain sides of the stock. If that piece of wood turns the wrong way it would bring your can way closer to the blade than I’m comfortable with. If you hold the piece too closely, it can roll, then shoot off the fence or back wall back at ya. Obviously he has some experience with his miter saw, but for the novice, that is one dangerous set of cuts. I’d almost clamp it down in a sliding jig and cut it upside down on a table saw to be safer
