Okay, you shamed me into buying a copy.

Man, you're EASY! *bseg

* I recently bought 83 books for 11 cents each. *I missed a deal on
2500 books for $300 recently. They would have been 12 cents each.

So once you went though the books you bought and separated them into keepers and *******,
what did your score turn out per copy?

* *All 83 are books I wanted. I sorted through over 3000 books when I
picked them out for 11 cents each. *Most are classic Sci-Fi and will
replace some of what was stolen, years ago.

* *There are literally tons of used books for sale around here. So many
that I don't have room to take them. *I filled the last of the shelves
in my library, and have to build more. *Even worse, I will have to
reinforce the floors if I put in more shelving. *At least I found a belt
drive 10" Craftsman table saw a few days ago. (113.298150) *It's an old
model that doesn't have much that can go wrong, when compared to modern
saws. I am going to clean it up and replace the bearings, then paint
it. *It looks like the old table saw has a bad Klixon thermal motor
starter that is no longer available. *it has been replaced several
times, and the motor rebuilt twice. *This saw uses an external 120/240
volt motor that can be replaced with lots of common, easy to find
motors.

* I think that the table extensions from my old *Craftsman table saw
will fit, so I am planning to hinge them to one side of the saw to let
me lay a full 4' wide sheet of plywood on it without needing a helper.
The fun will be getting an accurate alignment for the fence between the
sections.

The movie 'Deliverance' isn't a documentary!

The guys that do that stuff for a living don't use fences that ride on
the table itself, they've got full-length guides that run the whole
width of the table + extensions that the fence rides on. Could
probably rig up something like that yourself, save kilobucks. Just see
any of the woodworking supplier's sites for ideas. That's one reason I
got the DeWalt contractor's saw, I could saw to the center of a 4'
sheet using the fence and table extensions and it would still knock
down so I could wheel it out of the way.
