Does anyone have a CURRENT (non-expired) 20%-25% discount coupon you can share? :beer:

I had the coupon that was good for 03/31/2013 - and tried to see if they would accept it yesterday .... they did not. :( Nor did they accept a coupon I had for an item that expired on 04/07/2013

Yes, you can use whatever type of wood you want - though, in my opinion, the stronger/sturdier, the better. For mine, I chose Douglas

Honestly, I think you will be very satisfied with a 2x4 Basics based workbench. It's not only easy to build ... but (in my opinion) it's aesthetically pleasing as well.

Here is something you might be interested in . . . Kreg Workbench, Sketchup Video 1, Basic Model -->

For all intents and purposes, the 2x4 Basics legs use pocket hole joinery - as you screw the wood screws diagonally into the 2x4s (or, in my case, 2x6s). Of course, the 2x4 Basics legs also have corner "shelves" on/for which the wood beams to rest - not to mention the added brace strength of...

The great thing about Harbor Freight is that their "coupons/specials" seem to resurface every month - at various points throughout the month - within both their physical mailings as well as their online and email newsletters. If you're not already, make sure you're on HF's mailing list - for...

Yep, that's the one I was referring to. If I were to ultimately decide to purchase this saw, it would have it's permanent home in my garage workshop - no outside job sites to move it to. Replacing factory blades with better/quality blades is a "usual and customary" with me. :D

I actually already have a 12" dual-bevel sliding compound miter saw - which I love. However, it can only rip so far - I think about 12".

I guess the things that are/were appealing to me about the current Sears/Craftsman contractor table saw (linked in my original post) was not only the (seemingly) solid construction of the saw, table top, fence, etc. (from when I've checked it out at my local Sears store), but the ability/option...

What do you think about this one I just saw on CL ?? ... http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/3707965669.html :dunno:

you're a poet, and you didn't know it ;)

Yah, no ... I am definitely in the "Weekend Workshop" category.

As someone who will likely never rise above the "DIY/Home Hobbyist" level - though with an eye toward eventually (hopefully) working on some cool/fun ambitious projects, it a belt driven saw as important as it would be to a professional/master craftsman or cabinetmaker?

Okay ... THAT I would have never thought about ... GREAT IDEA !!! :beer: Now to figure out the delivery day schedules for my local HF stores (of which there are FOUR within reasonable driving distance)

Here is the Product Description for the Table Saw . . .

Great Minds Think Alike, Pumpman . . . . Ironically, I JUST sent off an email to Sears asking about that very thing. i.e. Can I take advantage of the Craftsman Club price with/for the layaway plan. Of course, I am a proud (and FREE) Member of the Craftsman Club. :rocker:

That is EXCELLENT ADVICE, Lightfoot ... THANK YOU !!! :beer: Truth be told, I don't need it right now. WANT maybe ... but don't need. :cool:

Any thoughts, advice - or warnings - about this CRAFTSMAN 10" CONTRACTOR TABLE SAW ?? Been giving some thought to taking advantage of Sears' layaway program as a way to spread out the cost across a couple of months (which will be much easier on my wallet/budget). Anyway, just thought I'd...

So far, most of the projects I have been jonzing to do are for the outside "patio seating" and other similar patio items ... though I KNOW I will be wanting to eventually work on some inside item projects as well - so THANK YOU for the advice/warning. :beer:
