Very nice, Roly ! I like em all. Thanks for sharing..

Hi SSV.. Some of you "old timers" know my story. Started scrolling just this last December after my Wife surprised me a Porter Cable saw for Christmas. Nice saw for a "newbie" but after a few months now (and countless stories of how folks moved up to a Dewalt or EX), I've been hesitant to make the move up myself - didn't want to hurt my Wife's feelings.. She obviously sees how much I enjoy it now so we got to talking the other night and I said something like "one day, I'd like to get a better saw etc.. etc..". She said, "what are you waiting for then ? Get one !" Needless to say, the next day I was ordering a Dewalt from Amazon with the stand. I was going to order the light as well but read too many negatives about it.. It came 2 days ago and boy, what a difference a good machine makes ! Wow.. First of all, the thing weighs a ton.. Good sign there - solid.. Quiet.. No vibration.. And I can't believe how quick it takes to replace a blade or feed a blade through. The Porter Cable, not so much.. I had to make several practice cuts to get used to it. So I decided that for my first project with it, I'd do something for my Wife. It's a Steve Goode pattern. In fact, she hasn't even seen it yet.. You folks are seeing it before her I'll show it to her tonight After all, if it wasn't for her gift to me, not sure I'd even be here with you all right now I painted the backboard white where the letters overlay so you can see them better. Here's the first of hopefully many more projects to come

Nice chart for reference !! Thanks for posting that link, Larry

Very nice reward for a very nice job done Just make sure you drink that stuff AFTER you turn the saw off
