I had just gone through doing my own home remodel depression (tear-down, rough construction, cabinets, flooring, drywall...you get it). I didn't want to think about the hobby I once loved so I sold my 4-year old Delta X5 Unisaw with a nice router table in the wing thinking I would survive with my track saw system alone. A few months passed and I missed a TS. Now I was depressed that I sold the Uni. Then I found a NIB Craftsman 21829 and really liked it. It complemented my elaborate track saw system perfectly. But, on Black Friday while watching TV and paging the ads on CL I mistakenly touched my iPad screen on an ad that simply said Table Saw $150 OBO.

No more excuses to stay out of my woodworking haven - my garage.
