Here’s the newest impulse acquisition. Went to the local Woodcraft store on Friday to see what I could pick up with the “10% off” birthday month card they sent me. Gathered up a bunch of MilesCraft items, a nice book by Doug Stowe and then I was confronted by a sign that said “in-store special.” Well that sign grabbed me by the back of my hair and wouldn’t let go. After a few minutes I escaped to another part of the store and that darn sign found me and forced me to look at it again, holding me in another place. The band saw was on sale from JET ($50 rebate) with another 10% off at the store. So the BS ended up costing me $445 and then there’s the $50 mail in rebate. (It’s in the mail) Not bad! So naturally, since I had the 10% off birthday card I picked up the BS accessories. Wouldn’t you? I grabbed the dolly, miter gauge, Kregg fence, riser block and a couple Timber Wolf BS blades. The total bill was way too much even with the 10% but hell, it’s my birthday month.
