    He helped me build my parents kitchen, my kitchen, my kitchen table, vanities for this place among many other projects.

    My wife looked at me like the idiot I am when I told her I was sad that my saw was leaving. She told me to keep it if I didn't want to see it go, but I am not sure how it would look in the living room. It has to go, I don't have the space for two saws.

    Thanks for listening,

    David.

    Every Neighbourhood has one, in mine I'm him.
    That's sad alright, two cabinet saws and neither are Canadian!

    Oh well, at least you got a SS

    Regards, Rod.

    Well, you could do back to front "integration" for alternate bevel rips if they have alternative tilt directions... LOL (The gal who bought my Jet LT saw when I was getting my slider did exactly that with two saws in her studio)

    Congratulations!
