Funny story.

I wanted an arm lifting type thing but of course I am too cheap to buy one so figured I would simply figure it out.

I moved my saw under the open garage door where there was a big nail in the door.  I hooked up a long bungee cord around the top arm of the saw so when I let off tension it would automatically go up. 

Seemed to work great, that was until I finished sawing one day and got up and just closed the garage door.  heard a loud thumping against the door.  Opened the door back up and the saw was swinging in the air still connected to the bungee cord.  

Happily nothing broke but I wouldnt recommend this method.
