I figure nothing from Hobo Freight can be a true gloat, right?

Well, anyhoo... I've been doing some carpentry, enclosing our garage to
create an entry/mud room/pantry/laundry, and dividing it to make a nice
big dorm for the three oldest boys. (Turning our home into a
4BR/2bath.)

So anyhoo, part of this process is clearing out the shop-slash-junk
stuff in the garage. The "stuff" will go in our storage building, but
we needed shelves first. I whipped out a quick pencil drawing for
shelves, but told SWMBO that for the first time in this project, I
needed to buy a new tool: a miter saw so that I could cut shelf members
accurately.

I told SWMBO that I could get the HF 10" CMS for $99 on sale, but when
I got to the store, that model was at the full price of $129. The 10"
SCMS was on sale for $99 (regular $199). I know it's reported to be a
real POS compared to the sorta-POS CMS, so I plunked down $11.99 for a
one year in-the-box exchange if I manage to break it.

Out the door for $121.22; I figure if I wear this one out and get
another one 364 days from now, I wound up with a "buy one for half
price, get another for free" deal.

I only need a CMS for the occasional square cut on lumber, and some
repeated cuts to length. It's a cheap POS, but it will serve my needs.

I guess the gloat is SWMBO, who urged me to get the tool I need, and
volunteered to wait until December for the Conure she's been craving.
