    Bill,

    I agree with you completely.

    I, to, lust after a band saw. I have to make do with my sabre saw (some
    call it jig saw) and spend a lot of time truing up the cut. But I do make
    a point of trying to hunt down folks who have one and I have been lucky
    here in St Augustine and in Gloucester MA.

    The other tool I would like is a sand blasting cabinet. Useful for
    cleaning corroded metals, also for using a bench grinder while containing
    the mess, and spray painting small items. With outside vent, good when
    using nasty chemicals like solvents while parts cleaning.
