JMB Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Spending time in my shop, trying to avoid going out and braving the weather this week. I'm a recent convert, having picked up an old 2-speed Delta on Craig's List. I wanted to try something cheap to find out if I would enjoy spending time on the saw. I have spent a lot of time on YouTube and watching a variety of videos and reading comments on the forum. I have made some progress and am doing better than I was when i started. Lot's of Christmas decorations, trivets and some clocks. I am about ready to get my next saw and am studying the options and trying to determine how much i need to spend to be happy with a saw for awhile. I have benefited greatly from all the people on the forum and am very thankful for the helpful attitude so many have. It is quite an interesting hobby and seems to be somewhat addictive. lawson56, amazingkevin, Rob Roy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill WIlson Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Greetings from not-so-snowy PA! I live about an hour north of Pittsburgh. We don't get as much snow here as you do up in Erie. Welcome to the forum and to the hobby. Let us know your thought process as you scout out new saws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Welcome. Time on the saw would be a great way to avoid the winter weather. Yes, I agree - I think it and the forum can be addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 It is not addictive. If I ever run out of blades and wood at the same time--I'll know it time to quit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaughn Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 It is not addictive. If I ever run out of blades and wood at the same time--I'll know it time to quit! That is a little bit like running out of airspeed, altitude and ideas at the same time............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
