At least, that's what I keep telling myself ...

I got a call from a member of our church. He knows I'm into woodworking, so he thinks I might be interested in this thing he needs to get rid of.

It seems that a family member bought him a circular saw as a gift a year or two ago, a "weird, off-brand" he's never heard of. He tells me he just now got around to opening it and it's defective, it "starts up real slow". And asks me if I want it.

After having him describe it, I realize he's got a Festool tracksaw. A TS75, to be exact.

So I explain to him that what he's got is a really nice saw that cost his relative about $600 and that "soft start" is a feature, not a defect.

A free TS75 vs doing right by an elderly member of my church. Yeah, I did the right thing.

I think ...
