Update on our saw situation.
Showed hubby all the saws suggested and because money is an issue (he's been out of work for two years and we are still playing catch up), he chose a craftsman saw. One he likes their tools and two the price was right. Went on line ordered the saw, as luck would have it they were running a online special and I got 10% of the price and they are shipping to my local sears for free.................Can't get better then that......................or can I! ! ! !
Working in my shop this afternoon listening to a local radio station that has a swap and shop hour long program. People call in with items they have for sale. A free service to the listening audience.
Well a guy calls in about a yard sale he was having. Mostly tools..............Yep! first tool out of his mouth was a Scrollsaw...........I'm all ears! got the phone number, called. It's was a Craftsman, less then a year old. Price $200.00.........thanks! No Thanks! Few minutes later the guy calls me back and says he quoted me the wrong price...........s/b $100.00. Got my attention: Scooted over to the sale. Saw was brand new (almost). Before I could say anything the lady who was selling the saw said she could probably come down on the price. OK!!!!! Checked saw out worked perfectly........new price...................$75.00 ..................Now done yet! Sitting next to the saw was a Craftsman planer.........$100.00. Damn! I been wanting one of those...................plugged it in ran a board thru it worked just fine. new price. $75.00......................Well you can bet they both went in the trunk of my car. Couldn't pay the lady fast enough. Happy Dance!! Those are both sitting in my work shed. Even got the manuals for each. Can't wait to get my saw going. Hubby can put the new one in his shop I'm keeping this one..........................
