Rob I went to the Disstonia site and that is the saw in the store. When I held it in my hand the way it felt was great, very comfortable and I would think it would allow a great deal of control for sawing.

I will return and check it out as soon as I can get there, there was enough dust on it to indicate it had been there a while. Thanks for the information guys this is indeed a great site.

I actually made a sawyer's bench to do rip cuts according to a book called Old Ways Of Working Wood, which told me a lot about dimensioning and cutting wood that I never understood before. However when we moved my wife thought the bench made a good garden ornament and it is sitting in the snow outside right now.
