Default I've done it now!

Well, many of you corrupted my mind and endangered my marriage of 23 years.

I went out and bought a new Grizzly 14" bandsaw.

Of course I had to buy $80 in blades. (previous post talking about the best blades Timberwolf and All Pro blades; 6 tooth and 4 tooth skip, 1/8", 1/4", 3/8")

Anyway, Monday I should be able to do a rough out for character carving...... Just in time to buy a couch to sleep on.

Now all ya need is a dust collector to hook up to it. Some cool blocks and a riser block. Get rid of the steel blade guides and get a set of cool blocks for it.
Oh Yeah youre going to need a LOT more wood.

Just stand there and keep your head up high a yell out "I'm the boss and I bought the dumb saw because I wanted to" .........It only takes a few days for the black eyes to heal , I think you made the right move, of course I'm not your wife either.

Better be careful what you get your Mrs. for birthdays. Years back I got Karen a sander for her birthday. She was, surprisingly pleased with it, and I have been surprisingly pleased almost every year since on MY birthday with a very nice ring, bracelet, necklance or broach.

Default Re: I've done it now!

I bought my little bride a 308 hunting rifle for her birthday. Talking . Damned if she didn't make take her hunting. Never again! Talked, talked, Talked and scared the deer away. But then, Was really nice to spend time with her.(SHE IS MAKING ME SAY THAT). Actually, An nice 8 point came within shooting distance and she couldn't shoot it and by the time I was able to bring my rifle up to shoulder, it was gone. Nope, Never again. she can gut and cut it up but she ain't a hunting with me again. To much rogetherness for sure. That is my story and I am sticking to it.

Greg, Make sure it is a nice comfortable couch and I see a lot of yes ma'mas coming. been there. Ya gots yourself a nice bandsaw for sure. Next thim you go buy a piece of equipment, see if they take trade ins. Then,,,,,,,,,,,, trade her off.I did that once and they company sent her back with a check for me to take her off their hands. Talking

Bart, my husband did the exact thing to me. He forgot our anniversary (even though I bought him something he really wanted) and my birthday which are only a few days apart. About a month later he came home with a Belt Sander "for me". Bouncing S Fooled him, I like it and won't let him use it Wink
