amazingkevin Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I had a little job yesterday and met a terribly crippled girl of 44.She needed a ramp all her life but never got one.today after i set my mind out to pasture to find the free wood came i came across just what i needed.I measured it out cut lots of boards and didn't take picture ,figures .3 wide 5 ' long and 4.5" tall going into the house.she wasn't home so i put it in place and left.anyway before all this happened i found on craigs list again another dw788 type 1 used 30 minutes,lol It was very close to home and just posted an hour ago. I went there found the machine checked it out and asked how much.he said are you one of those that kicks the tires after i say a hundred and you say 25? No sir ,What's your price ...$125.00 sold i'll go get two cash backs and be right back.ends up i made his name and internet name from applying to another craigs list a year ago for a weller jig saw free which i got.I gave him my card and immediately he remembered me and said he's happy it's going to a good home ,small world !!God knew my intentions today and rewarded me handsomely thank you Jesus.I still have one more dw788 that im useing on a roll around cart not pictured.Top left dw788is the newest onethank you jesus! i had to scroll something today even though it was a busy day a compound cutting reversed!

Ron Johnson Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 You deserve a lot of credit helping someone in need. The world needs more people like you. And second, congrats on your new saw. You collect saws like I collect cameras, and I have approximately 125. So be careful, saws need more space ... Lol Quote
