Just saw the G4 saw you posted. Good price but the stand does look a bit funky but the saw looks pretty good. Pretty far drive. I would keep looking especially since you have to get a new range. But you do make a good BBQ...you could use that for a while!
Sorry Paul for the late response. I payed $350 I think for mine. But she lived on the Washington Coast which most folks would find quite a drive to get there. I was going to Seattle anyway and got lucky that it was a nice day in December. I really do like the saw it seems to cut through thicker wood better than my EX 21. I still like the EX too though.
Paul, Wow, that G4 is really pricey compared to what I paid. There was one in MT a while back but I don't see it there anymore. I will start looking over here as well and let you know if I find one.
Charlie, as always, great work! I think I may have told you that I, too, got to see him sing when I was at the University of Montana. I was in the ROTC program and worked as an usher so I was able to get in for free
Welcome from Eastern Washington State. Yes, the saws already mentioned are great saws. I bought both of mine used...And Excalibur 21 and a Hawk G426. Both Great saws too. If you do look at an EX, I would go for the older model not made in China as I have heard those have problems. Again Welcome!
Jerry, that is a wonderful toy. I would love to see a picture of the side...do the wheels turn?...I also would love to have an Uncle like you! Very lucky nephew
I agree with both @Dak0ta52and @JTTHECLOCKMAN. I think space is very important and the sizes of your projects. When I started I got the EX21 (Canadian) which I love and still have but I did needed a bigger saw for my wood art and also I want to do mirrors as well. So I bought a Hawk G426 (26 inches) for a great used price.... which I also love but I did have to move my Lathe out of my small heated workroom to make room for my Hawk. But wow, if I could get a Pegas 30 that would be awesome! Everyone must really like them because I have only seen one used in all the years I have been looking and it was a small one. Good luck on your decision!
So much nicer....I am sure it will be more enjoyable opening the door to your shop and seeing such a great place to work. Congrats on a wonderful shop!
Wonderful work! I also grew up with a Willie's Jeep. We used it on our cattle ranch as well. I do remember many times that we had to use the handcrank to get it started on those cold winter days!
