  1. One of these days, I am going to write up a review of the "lead" of the tool department at my local Lowes, of course name and location will be left out to protect the innocent. I really feel bad for the folks that he gives advice to, and that's only what I hear when I am there obviously.  I will say the lady in the paint department, really knows her stuff, she is a walking encyclopedia of finishes for wood projects, she always has great ideas to share and she's genuinely interested in your projects.

  2. wigwag, I know I might have sounded like I was in the grizzly corner in my response, not really. After going back and forth on the specs. I'm really starting to like the Laguna a lot. You lose a 1/4" on blade max width, but I have seen people do mods to accommodate a larger width blade. And this is only a concern if you plan Doing a lot of resawing. In my case I would. It's a tough choice. Some people say go used and get a big old saw. I don't know if I could make that choice spending that kind of money on possible someone else's trouble. Hard for me to write this with the game on. Sorry.....I apologize for any mistakes. Hehe. I do wish you the best, and I wish I was in a similar situation. I would love a good band saw.

    No No, you provided awesome advice, I do like Grizzly products, I own a few of them, and their customer service is 2nd to none, you actually get a real on-shore person with strong knowledge of the products. I do plan on doing a lot of resawing, in fact that is a big reason for wanting to get something bigger then a bench top model. 

  3. Well, I have narrowed it down to the Grizzly G0457 vs the Laguna 1412 with the slight edge to the Laguna.  I do have a couple of Grizzly tools, and I have been pretty happy, with the exception of my table saw being recalled 2 weeks after I ordered it which leaves me to believe the knew about the issue when the sold it to me. The issue is with one of the pulleys, the bore was to big for the shaft. They sent out the repayment part, but it took over 4 hours to fix. 

  4. I buried a "treasure" in my parents backyard when I was a little tike in 1978ish.  It's an Vietnam area ammo case, I put all kinds of stuff in there, including some Hot Wheels, a few of my favorite marbles, and a Hostess Twinkie LOL.  The house is still in our family, has my brother bought it from my parents.

    It's a little beyond what you'd expect a cordless blower to work with, good thing I started early and decided to try to blow it in stages but Jonas is giving the little blower, and me for that matter, quite the workout lol.

    Well, that just convinced me to get that model, I been looking for a snowblower (see my post) and this was one that I was looking at closely. 

  6. I been using computers since 1983, and been doing it "professionally" since the late 90's. I  have seen it all lol, you wouldn't believe the stories I could tell, but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.  For example,the user told us the laptop "fell" off the desk when she tripped over the power cord.

  7. Yup, I vote for Purple Power! I buy the stuff by the gallon lol.  I use it to strip the chrome parts that come in my model kits, since it usually looks like crap.  The ol' lady loves the stuff also, she uses it all the time.  Another thing that may work is "easy-off" oven cleaner. 

  8. Awesome guys, thank you for the replies.  I do have a Grizzly table saw, and I am completely happy with it, also they do have great customer service.  However, the Laguna is on sale, and with low shipping price and the fact that it's tax free, I am thinking it would be the better option.

  9. Towing companies are like dealing with the mob, it's ridiculous.

    Yeah Man! I had a '77 Monte Carlo that was parked on the street, unfortanatly  it was hit from behind which pushed on to the sidewalk.  I was out of town at the time, so it was towed.  Would have costed over $1500 to get it back, so I had to forfeit it.
