I mostly wander around the neanderthal forum commenting here and there and just soaking it all up..... And I myself tend to lean more towards the hand tools and most of my woodworking book library centers around the tools without cords....as well as my collection of tools... But sometimes, a power tool purchase is necessary to assist in the processing of materials.
I have wanted this thing for a few years, and finally drove across town to Highland Woodworking and picked it up Thursday afternoon....
we just recently moved and I haven't even gotten my work space set up, and the bandsaw has gotten as far as me bolting on the table after putting the base together, it hasnt even been plugged in yet, and then it was off to play with another train for a few days....
either way, I am pretty excited to have it !
