If you was the R E Quick Transit van speeding down the road this moring, it was me on the way to Sears.
I was up early this morning and got to Sears about 10 minutes before they opened. I sat in the van finishing my coffee and bagel so I'd not miss out on the good deals. I bought the Craftsman router I've been wanting. Even got the set of solid bits to go with it. The bits are nice in that they come in a plastic case and you can do roundovers and other edge shapes by just changing the cutter. I'll use them for the doors on the kitchen cabinets I'm making.
The laser cirular saw was too good to pass up with the 10% off. With my old Black and Decker saw it was hard to follow the line sometimes. The new Craftsman with the laser guide is going to let me make a perfect line every time. Can't wait to try it.
From the Sears store I went to Home Depot to get the pine board for the doors and drawers of the kitchen cabinets. I got the sink cabinet case done with the particleboad, now I have to do the front. The widest board they had was 11" so I guess I'll have to glue them together to make the doors or I'll make three doors instead of two. That might be easier. Then I can just nail the front frame to the partical board and I'm ready for staining. I'm going to stain them Cherry.
My wife is as excited as I am because in a few weeks she is going to have the nicest kitchen on the block.
