Howdy SawMillCreek Folks!

LOL! I see you all talking about me. It's cool. I tried to join your message board, but it keeps saying that "username is already in use" so it won't let me register no matter what variations I try.

Well, for those who watched the old table saw video, I have a sad update for you.  I was moving the table saw from one house to another, and I was in a hurry so I just shoved it in the back of my truck with no tie downs.  I thought I could go really slow around the turns but one road had a really bad bank and the saw rolled right out of my truck into the middle of the road.  The cast iron motor mount pieces shattered.   I was sad, but I've decided to quit while I'm ahead and let that saw go on to the scrap yard.

My dad had a saying about flying: "...you start out with a barrel of luck, and every time you go up, you reach a little further into that barrel..."   That could probably be applied to taking any sort of chances.

Anyways, with the price of scrap iron these days, I'm liable to get back as much money for it as scrap as my dad paid when he bought it way back when ... well, certainly with all my other scrap included.

Y'all have a good one, and be safe!   Haha, do as I say ... not as I do.
