I finished the rebuild of the DeWalt RAS a few weeks ago. I then started on the Unisaw and haven't done any woodworking to speak of. Just spent some time on the lathe. Work is slow and I had the day off so I decided to start on the garden gate.

Of course I had to finish the extension table fence. Then decided I might a well build a new table for the saw. :rolleyes: I ended up spending most all day on those odds and ends.

Finally late this afternoon I actually started working on the gates. Ripping on the table saw and cross cutting on the DeWalt. Man is that thing sweet! I am so impressed. Lots of power, stable and smooth. It has a Freud blade on that that is no telling how old, but it does a good job cutting. No way do I want to go back to the Craftsman! They are going out of the shop in the morning for good! Nothing like this old iron!

Not only are they great tools, but I'm sure your sweat equity makes them even more pleasurable to use!

I'd say "you lucky devil" but you worked for this reward. Glad to hear your efforts paid off

It was fun and educational to watch the transformation. Glad you have it up and running like new, and for saving another tool from the past...
