Minor Tool GLoat

[Gary Groves]

Lowes was clearancing out some Delta stuff. They had a 12" DP regular 199 clearance for 139. Got there right before they closed and asked If they could do any better. 100 bucks. Now granted it's not a floor model, but to get me started and for the odd occassion, I thought it was a pretty good deal. What do you think?

What's that?? Was somebody gloating?? No pictures???? Must not have been, My mistake.:p :p

Congrats on the "Virtual Gloat" Gary.

Humble apologies to the PIC police. In my defense, NO digital camera yet, and the DP is still in the box while I try to finish building my router table. (Trying to recover from cutting a piece 2" short) :mad: That cost me 30 bucks to buy new wood. I wouldn't have been so bad if they had been the inside pieceses, BUT NOOOOOOO they were the outside show panels!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh well. To steal a saying A bad day in the shop is still better than a good day at work!

Breathe man, breathe......in with the good air, out with the bad.....breathe.

As my father(a contractor), used to say, "I cut it twice and it's still too short."

:)

Cheers,

Yea,

I'm not too upset about it. Typical erro when you rush. I had my Father-in-Law available to help cut the sheet down, but he makes me a bit nervous when he helps hold, cause he likes to 'help' pull the sheet instead of just supporting. I rushed the measurement. I saw 4 pieces the same....Not. 4 Pieces had the same width. But, different lengths... Oh well.
