    Yeesh, I was just joking, Blair. It matters not a whit to me (northof49 copyright) if you make scales with your new saw.
    It is a No Buy, not a No Make.:)

  4. Thanks for the clarification, Jason. :eatdrink047:

    Written communications sometimes aren't interpreted the same as in person communications, where one can infer the facial expressions behind the TIC (tongue in cheek) comments that cross here every now and then...

    I don't even know if the time will make itself available this year to work on the WB scales project....but the Central Machinery scroll saw hit a 30% off sale today. Had to grab it, wifey was with me and is already lining up projects....before I told her why I made the purchase.
