The Masters House

The table saw sold - and I made money!

I got quite a few people who responded once and once they saw the pictures that I sent did not respond again. But I did get one person that saw the pictures and haggled me down to $85 for it.

He asked me the reason for getting rid of it and I told him that I had gotten it and a new one both around the same time and did not need 2 (that was the truth ).

Anyway, he came by, looked at it, paid me, and took it. A win-win for everybody.

I will look at the stores next time before jumping on Craig’s List. It would have not been cool to be stuck with the older saw.

Well this is am interesting tail.

I have been wanting a table saw for quite some but with the new house and everything it wasn’t high on the list. But a project came a long that I could not do without a table saw (see my post - I Found a Simple way to do a Deck Railing).

I had looked at a table saw at Sears that was nice and went for about $180 a few months back so this is how much they were in my mind. I was given the budget by the wife of $100 so I decided to check out Carig’s Lists to see what was available.

One of my favorite stores - Harbor Freight - has had a drill press on sale for the last few weeks that I have been drooling over.

It is going for $39.95. The regular price is $79.95.

Why would I need a drill press when i have a couple of hand drills? To drill straight wholes (trust me I need the help).

The cool thing is that I talked the wife into letting me get it for my “birthday” a whole 2 months ahead of my actual birthday to get it at the sale price. The only thing is that she says I cannot open it until my birthday.

We are under negotiations at this point to see when I can start using it .
