Very impressive. I hope your price reflected the amount of work you put into that. It is a real masterpiece that will become a cherished heirloom I'm sure.

Hi Bob, welcome to the Village. That is some very nice cutting there. I particularly like the box, was it cut from a pattern? If so, could you tell me where you got it from?
Thanks,
Rob
Sorry to hear that Muzz. I'm in NZ so not sure if the DW788 is available in Australia or not but I did find an old post (from 2005) in a woodwork forum that someone had found a couple of DW788's in a Service Centre in Adelaide. (This is a link to the thread). So there may be hope.
I think the General 21 is also known as the Excalibur and seems to be very well thought of. There are several owners on the forum who will be able to give you more information I'm sure.
Can I ask what broke on your Q3? I have the same saw and would like to know what to keep an eye on. You mentioned you have had to repair it before so anything you can tell me in this regard would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Rob
