    Talking Woohoo! New tool arrives!

    Ok, ok! I know it's not as beastly and cool as some of the titanic drum sanders and stationary planers / joiners I've seen people on these forums get, but I am SO exited for this arrival!

    I finally got my new scroll saw tonight. I couldn't resist ripping open the box and setting it up already - you know - "to make sure everything is in working order..." (wife rolls her eyes).

    After much deliberation and research, I ordered the Dewalt DW788 saw. The reviews were all right on the money. This scroll saw is the quietest darn thing I've ever powered up! WAY quieter than the ones I used when I was younger. No vibration on the table at all either. I am very pleased with this new addition to the family!

    Now, if I can just finish up a few projects, I might be able to find time to use the thing...

    How about covering it is sawdust?

    or paste wax for a start.
