Sabre Saw??'s ... NOT

[harvey]

Remarkable. My first band saw was a discarded meat-cutter as well, found by
the roadside. After cleaning, painting, fabricating a table and several
other parts, there were still too many *important* things missing.  I never
did get it to work right. It became the proverbial Rippen low-tension
aluminum strung back, just staring back at me from the Lanai (sp?) behind
the shop. At least it looked better than it did at the side of the road.

Oooh! Just had a cold chill run down my back. Does this mean I'm starting
to understand Ron's writing, and therefore have been on the list too long?
