Garman, where are you located? Congrats on the new saw. Sounds like you got a winner......Colin

I have to take the passenger seat out of my car tonight to pick up the saw tomorrow. My little Subaru two door has not been a practical car for a homeowner but I refuse to give it up. I'm planning on building a 8x12 garden shed this weekend so I might get a chance to rip some plywood.

Yeah, I just have not had the time or energy to put together a small gathering. I was hopeing after the Fourth of July, but it just ain't happened.

Cinci would be a long way to travel for a scrapbooking store, but, I'll tell you, there are a ton of them around. I have no idea what it is about this area, but that is one hot market. There is at least one scrapbooking party a week in my subdivision. If your wife needs me to pick up anything specific, let me know.

Glad to hear you got your saw. I've been looking for a couple of years now and just cannot make up my mind. I really had my heart set on a Jet (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006WP0Z/qid=1121476113/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/103-3709346-3860637?v=glance&s=hi) but lately I'm kinda looking at the Grizzly line (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000E3HNN/qid=1121476206/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/103-3709346-3860637?v=glance&s=hi) I'd like to know how the Craftsman works out and if you have any opinions on the two aforementioned ones.......Colin
