madman_us Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 i was talking to my wife the other day about a job i have to do at her grandma's house.have to remodel 2 patio's.so i told her that i have to put my miter saw on sawhorses when i do that job.on saturday she went out with her mom to the antique store, when she came back she said that she needed the truck to pick up a piece of furniture but she doesnt need my help for that.30 mins later she came home and i didnt see anything on the truck.then i peeked in the bed of the truck and i saw this huge blue item. Bosch T4B Gravity Rise Stand that was definitely a nice surprise. best wife ever!spend last sunday a couple hours to assembly that thing.its a really solid piece.and i made a few pics while doing that, going to upload those too. but first i have to find my card reader, have the pics on my camera. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman_us Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 thanks everyone.her some pics when i assembled that stand.when the stand is folded, it just needs 40" when its flush against the wall.due to the motor which is mounted on top of the saw, if they would have designed it different then they could have saved about 6-8".after a while i stopped making pics because my camera died and i didnt wanted to wait until battery gets charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiverDn Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 It's awesome to have a wife that supports you. I'm very lucky that way myself. I got my wife involved in shooting sports and we cannot go to a gun show without her trying to buy every gun she likes the looks of and wants to try. She's also supportive of my new found tool joy, she continues to give me support for what ever tool I want. Of course it involves projects she wants done, but that's great too. Good for you.

khariV Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 That's an amazing surprise - it's quite cool when your better half feeds your addiction. I found a Milwaukee tool belt under the Christmas tree this year and was just totally blown away that my wife managed to surprise me with something I really needed and had been eyeballing for some time, even though I hadn't told her.

woodstockva Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Nice! That is the one thing I dont like about the mobile stands....putting them together! Looks like it is going to be a bit safer & easier to use than the sawhorses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 to assemble the stand took me about 1-2h but im so pleased now. so easy to move around the whole system.the saw itself is already 80lbs and moving it around with the stand, you dont really feel the weight of it because its so well balanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
