Around the coffee pot This forum is for any topic that you would normally talk about at the office "around the coffee pot". Jokes, tall tales, and true stories are welcome as long as they are clean and in good taste. I only ask that you steer away from topics on religion or politics. Go ahead and pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation.

A WooHoo! Gloat

Last week I went to the Canadian Home Workshop show in Toronto, Ontario. It's considered as the premier woodworking show in Canada. I got a phone call today to inform me that I need to pick up my new Bosh reciprocating saw prize pack!( Valued just shy of $300 ). Next week I'll be heading out to the city to collect.

Congratulations! Just make sure you know where the water pipes are before you use it.

I always thought that sawzal was more a demolition tool than woodworking. Not to mention it is used to cut metal pipes a lot more than wood. Why would woodworking show award demolition tool as a prize?
Congratulations anyway - I am sure you will find what to do with it.

Congrats for winning a great prize!

It ain't often you need a reciprocating saw, but when you do, they are the best. I've got the Ridgid reciprocating saw, battery pack and used it for cutting the posts around the garden for my wife. Truely a great machine when needed.

Get the pruning blade for that saw and you will never have to hand sharpen a chain saw again. Or for as long as the extension cord is.

Congratulations, a must have tool for when you must have it.


Bill
BTW if you put a small slot in the bottom of a Tupperware container and slip the blade through it you can cut up a frozen turkey with out too much of a mess to clean up on the saw. As apposed to say, your bandsaw or radial arm saw.
