After a job interview today, I was going over to my friends place to hang out. While there I was going to cut some pieces I needed to use a miter saw for since I've warped my plastic hand miter box and don't have a saw.
I get there, we're talking, and he says "Oh, you brought hte wood right?" I said yeah, and he says "well, I'm NOT going to be able to let you do the cuts on my dads saw (he was borrowing from his pops as he doesn't have one either)." My heart dropped because I really wanted to crank out these two display cases I'm building.
He reaches under his very large tree and slides a big box out (my back was turned) and says "But I can let you take this home and do the cuts on it."

I was speechless. But the story behind it is better.
He had apparently been looking at this exact saw to get me for Christmas anyway. His wife did her research and found this one to be one of the better value's for not a lot of money, and got it for him for Christmas so he'd have his own. We have a HF in town so why she ordered on line I don't know, but it was delivered as you see. And he was home. Surprise ruined. So they talked it over and instead of returning it just decided to give it to me instead. Pretty awesome I think.
Can't wait to use it. Tomorrow!!!!! Just need to figure out if I need to swap blades or not for something a little finer.
