  1. I can't wait to see it back again. Thanks.
  2. It's beautiful. It would take me 20 years to cut it.
  3. Thanks for the update Dick. I pray for Paul and his family daily and I have faith in the power of prayer. Paul, hang in the Buddy. We are all pulling for you. Love ya My Friend. Rest and recover!
  4. My thoughts and prayers go out to Paul and his family. The world needs folks like Paul with his wonderful sense of humor. He has always been so helpful to me in my scrolling journey. Thank you Dick for sharing the news. Please keep us updated.
  5. Darn tariffs!
  6. What Kevin said.
  7. I'm truly hoping that the Bauer saw will be a winner. It is priced perfectly for folks who just want a better saw. It can be upgraded with the Pegas blade clamps but that will add another $100 to it. If you are happy with it the way it is, leave it alone. Once you get going with it, how about posting some pics of what you are making. We all love pics. Congrats on the new toy. Enjoy.
  8. In a few days, I will be 100 months. Or as of today, 30,405 days old.
  9. Knowing the market and availability of used saws, in good shape, $150.
  10. I'm curious, how can a part be discontinued or unavailable when they are still building and selling those saws brand new? Am I missing something? I'm 83 years old so it's entirely possible that I've lost it.
  11. I wish I was more knowledgeable regarding electrical theory. I'd love to follow along on this one. It seems that the part in need should be available from some supplier if you know the specs on the part used by the mfgr. Hegner can't possibly be the only user of that part. There must be other motors that use a similar system. Please keep us all apprised of your outcome.
  12. Looking good Kevin. Always something new to learn. I bought a small laser and set it up in my office while I was learning how to use it. As usual, my parade got rained on because it emitted a bit of smoke and smell. So I boxed it up and put it in my closet for my next life.
  13. Beautiful work. Curious as to what you do with your work when finished. My wife says no more dust collectors in our home. No room left and wall space in short supply. I guess I just make it then burn it.
  14. Great ideas here. Maybe have to give some a try. I've really been stagnant for too long. Gotta get my creative juices flowing again. Fighting depression isn't fun.
  15. I have many of the Bauer power tools. Both corded and battery. So far all have served me well. I'm happy to hear good things coming from a home-grown success story. If any of you folks get the chance, read the history of H/F. One owner, no shareholders to answer to. They've come a very long way from the cheap stuff that got them their bad rap. If they ever put trucks out on the road, the mobile tool sellers will be in big trouble.
