    Saw Bench Give-away - Local to Princeton NJ

    Posting this here as it has the most relevance here.

    I no longer have room for my saw bench so I'd like to give it to a hand tooler who will put it to use, preferably.

    Contact me via PM

    Bumbling forward into the unknown.

    Can you wait for me to convince SWMBO that we need to move to the east coast?

    Someone is going to be quite fortunate to become the proud owner of this.

    Brian, you don't have a saw bench problem, just a space problem

    Wow, someone will be lucky indeed! I'm in the (very slow) process of building one inspired by yours!

    Best,
    Chris

    I'll take it, can you get a postage price to Australia for me. A once only deal for some lucky person.

    Brian,

    A wonderful and generous offer. Like everyone so far distance is a problem. NJ and AZ are more than a day's drive and in addition there ain't no room in my shop. Shame, it is a beautiful saw bench, much nicer than my two HD Redwood benches. Someone will be very lucky. BTW, I'd almost make the drive if you would sign the bench . I've done dumber, back in the day I rode my motorcycle from San Diego to Jacksonville in less than two days so I could eat a hamburger on the beach.

    But it would be a West coast hamburger and I wanted an East coast burger .

    If I was headed your way, I’d love to have it. If I had a friend, or even a friend of a friend, or relative, or distant relative headed your way, I’d ask them to pick it up. But alas, I do not. Sorrow.

    Let's recognize that it's not exactly high-grade wood, even though it's been shaped into a lovely bench.

    Still, I'd be signing up to get it if my Star Trek transporter weren't broken.

    8/4 KD white ash is high grade wood.

    Thanks gents, appreciate the levity as always. A local hand tooler is planning to drop by today.

    If I was guessing, I would guess a woman was involved somehow. But burgers can be pretty memorable. I remember a burger shack in Oceanside that had all kinds of exotic meats. Buffalo, ostrich, all kinds of stuff.

    Was that before there were In and Out Burgers on the west coast?

    There used to be one of those close to us when we lived in California. We often got the In & Out urge and made a burger run.

    People in parts of California will likely remember seeing their bumper stickers.

    The menu was about 12 items, but there were a lot of things one could get that weren't on the menu.

    I don’t think I am old enough to remember a time before In and Out.

    The place I am thinking of was not a chain.

    Doesn’t that depend on how fast you drive?. It’s only 2368 miles between Tucson and Princeton. So just over 100 mph (ok maybe a little faster to account for fuel and ticket stops )

    Brian,

    Perfect outcome.

    Sorry for the hijack but I truly did think about the drive, I've done more for less reason.
