Ranald, I'm with you! Took me years to learn...Our General Manager (and general mentor...) at the family timber yard was an old pro. He'd chuckle and tell me, 'I'm just gonna show ya ONE more time...' and then proceed to virtually throw the thing ( 196" blade on 32" Crescent) down on the ground and it would flop into 3 rings just like that.....
