New table saw (from Lowes) I haven't used yet.
I like my neighbors but don't want to look into their houses. I need to rip 2x4s (mortise/tenon with a center holding groove) and make a wood picture frame to attach to the back deck arbor. The 32"W x 48"H decorative panels will go inside.
There didn't seem to be any non-wood trim options available.
(I spaced out on the panel dimensions when ordering those in person. Maybe I'd been looking at too many of those smaller 24"W x 32"H panels online.)
The end result will be a tighter fit and a very different look than what I originally wanted. Oh well...
This thing rolls around outside and folds flat to store in my New Yankee Workshop garage. NOT!
It cost $325 versus the $600 similar styles and is meant for occasional use. That yellow paint brand says "steal me" anyways. Almost all of the store floor models were broken in some way, and even the pricey ones were somewhat rickety and wouldn't lock the fence down or adjust easily. You have to try it out like you are really using it.
Neither store had Porter Cable/Rigid/Ryobi/other brands.
Despite so much custom building and various materials required nowadays both the stores selection was quite poor.
I'd hate to be a Pro...and stuck with no options available.
