Meet the new saw

I've never used the cool blocks and never had a problem with shortened blade life or overheating.

I just found out there is a Woodcraft store in town over Christmas.  I walked through with my wife and she had to drag me out screaming and kicking.  I'm gonna sneak over there on a lunch hour sometime soon!  SOme of the prices can be high, so you do have be an astute shopper.

I love that store but I feel like they have you over a barrel with the prices. Even their sale prices seem steep.

Woodcraft is high on some things, right in line on others. There are better and less expensive places to buy certain things. There are even a couple of online merchants who offer a discount to members of a certain woodworking forum. If you want details PM or email me.

I only buy specialty items that I need locally at Rockler or Woodcraft - most of wheat I want I can get on line.  Some things I buy come at at high price - like Hock plane blades and the like - they're pricey everywhere you can buy them.

Amazon seems to be the place to for most tools now - especially if you are a power buyer and get free shipping.
