My first gloat

Oct 25, 2005 12 Replies

After lurking around here and making a few posts for the past year or so, I finally have a gloat. I am working on a house that is currently two apartments and a workshop. I am converting it into one large home.



When I started a couple of months ago, I noticed the Grizzly table saw (Model 1023 SLX) with 7' rails, the outfeed table and a box full of various add ons and accessories. There was also a 6" Grizzly jointer. I asked the owner if he used them and he said that his parents had bought them for him and he had made A jewelry box and A step stool. I mentioned that if he ever wanted to get rid of them to let me know.



Today he asked if I was interested in them and I said I was. He let me have them both for $700 and threw in some purpleheart, some walnut and a few pieces of Cocobolo.

Yep, you truly do suck! I hope _you_ have more in you than a box and a step stool. A great find is a terrible thing to waste!

Too bad about the off-type wood scraps... Send 'em to me and I'll handle disposal for you.

You ....

Oh forget it, it's just not worth it. I'll never get a gloat.

It's true. He definitely sucks.

In Georgetown? Georgetown?

I live up the road from you in San Antonio, a town that is 10X your size. I never see anything like that. I am starting to get a complex...

You found this in Georgetown? Lovely city, but come on...

Oh yeah... you really do suck!

For $700 ???? You suck enough to not need a DC for those tools...

Great deal, hope you get a lot of happy use of out 'em..

He sucks enough to be his own DC.

Excellent. So, where do we install the grounding wire, because he's sure to attract lots of static for this one?

Yep.. that's what I was trying to say, Joe... I should know better than to try posting before my coffee IV is hooked up..

Actually, it was in Austin if that makes you feel any better.

It is obvious that must now hate you! Nice score, though!!
