I just wanted to brag a little, today for my 40th birthday (which is really tomorrow) my wife let me go to Woodcraft and buy a new bandsaw. what I came home with was the Powermatic 14" Bandsaw, Model PWBS-14CS with the 6" riser block, a big step up from the Robyi 9" bandsaw I've been using. Oh and I won't rub it in but lets just say I got the saw for a steal

Congrats on the bandsaw, Ron. They certainly do come in handy for bandsawing out those bowl blanks, and you sure got a nice one!!

Nice tool... too bad you didn't actually get one as there is no picture to prove it.:D

Congrats & Happy Birthday Ron!

A photo of you (birthday hat is optional) standing next to your new bandsaw would work real nice!

Good for you! Very well deserved! I'll be 40 this year too, but my wife doesn't let me get any new tools for my B-Day......
