    Any deals for woodworking first responders out there?

    Has anyone found any special offers for woodworkers that are also first responders?

    Why would first responders need woodworking tools?

    Grizzly had one about a month ago for 10% off, then they turned around the next week and gave it to everyone for the next 3 weeks.

    Now it's shipping for a flat $25, which is normally $200, so up to about $2k, it's almost a better deal.

    I think there will be a little recession going on in the near future & there will be better deals to come.

    They don't. But a show of appreciation is always nice.

    Thanks for all you do Matt!

    Because they have to make a living somehow. I'm a retired LEO with 35 years in. Those young guys answering calls don't make much in the early years and often have to supplement their income with part time jobs. I built a lot of decks and storage buildings on my off days.

    I'm sitting in a comfortable home office reading a woodworking forum during lunch. Got a paycheck coming in and people out there keeping the world working while I amd my family sit here safely.

    Are they victims? No.

    But they certainly have my respect and if I was setting prices they would certainly have a discount factored in. I have no idea if Mathew was asking for himself or on behalf of first responder's in general but thanks man I appreciate it.

    Don't know where you are from, but I just posted an excalibur fence and rails for a table saw, and they are yours if you want them. I am in the Iowa City, IA area. John
