Power Tools

The hardest part of this project is having to buy power tools.

While framing around a replacement window I realized that cutting the compound angles necessary would be challenging, at best, with a circular saw. The obvious solution, I realized, was to buy a table saw. I planned to do this eventually anyway. When I am building cabinets and storage areas I will want the table saw, so it was only a matter of convincing myself that I needed to buy the table saw sooner rather than later. Well, and convincing my wife also.
I had been checking them out at the local hardware store, so when the time came I was ready to move. I bought the saw, assembled it (no small task), and got the window framed in the same afternoon.
