I do, and if any of you guys are interested let me know
woo hoo. look what followed me home from Home Depot!
I drove my very old Amish neighbor and his wife to a doctors appointment to a town 25 miles away this morning. On the way there he mentioned they had lots of ash trees to cut and needed somebody to do for shares of the wood. The guy they had lined up never showed up. I told him I collected chainsaws and I would sure like to cut them for him. I said that would give me an excuse to buy a splitter. I dropped them off and had 45 minutes to kill so I went to Home Depot to look around. I walked toward the tool rental area to check on the Makita rental saws and tripped over this. They said they had just put the clearance signs on it! Was just meant to be. Exactly half price.
Cub Cadet 25 ton splitter with Honda engine. Customer return. New condition. $625. Started on the second pull and works perfect.

Picked up this set of 28V Milwaukee cordless tools at a yard sale around the corner this morning. He couldn't find the reciprocating saw, but has my name and number in the event he does. Not bad for $60.

Porter Cable Router Recall
Bought a large Porter Cable router many years ago. Got an e-mail today stating that there is a recall, because the handles on the base are not electrically insulated, and could lead to a shock. They are sending replacement bases.

Here is the kicker: the email came from Amazon.com, where I bought the router from. Have not received any notice from Porter-Cable, the manufacturer, even though I am one of those guys that typically mail back those warranty cards, just in case of things like this.
Anyway, cudos to Amazon, and if you have or know of someone with a similar router (they were pretty popular), look into the recall at:

My high school shop teacher puts aside scrap for me then calls when he has a good pile. Last week he called and said he had something else besides scrap. A Wellsaw horizontal bandsaw. It was condemned cause of a cord repair. Anyway he knew I'd appreciate it and now it's mine. Gonna clean it up, new cord and bladeView attachment 421371
