Your are exercising a LOT of restraint. When I got my DW788 I didn't even have time to take ANY pix. As John said, "styrene and packing flying ... " followed by "sawdust not long after". Enjoy but don't forget - you will need to stop in order to eat, sleep, etc.!

What are you doing on here talking about it?!? Get out there and cut!
You're gonna love your yeller saw.

Nancy You need to be a little bit more excited about the saw. You mean you haven't put it together yet? Whats the hold up girl? Nothing like the smell of a new toy in the morning. eh....

Mornin' All

Styrene is flying, cardboard all over, guys are armed with tools and eager to get started. (I could and would, do it all myself, but the boys would feel bad if they didn't get to "help" me. LOL)

Progress pics and commentary will be posted when I can tear myself out of the shop.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, this is SO kewl!!!!

Thanks everyone for sharing in my excitement.

Enjoy your saw, Nancy! I'm putting a little bit away each day. Hopefully I'll have my own "big yellow" next year!!

Thanks for sharing your excitement with us also. So much fun.
And a big thanks for the picture......you know how I/we love pictures around here.
Excellent advise from Dale, as usual.
Happy scrolling.

Congratulations Nancy!

You are going to love that saw. It is so smooth. I wouldn't trade mine. Did you get the EZ lift? If not go here and scroll down the page, it's worth the $20.00. Much better than putting a 2X4 under the arm.

So, get busy makin' saw dust and lets see some pix of you projects you just got in the mail.

Enjoy your new saw Nancy! I'm hoping to upgrade sometime in the near future and your excitement is contagious. I'll have to see what I can do to make my hubby understand how important it is that I get a new saw too! Eddi

I don't get it you look and sound so sad! I would be excited.

Just kidding, I look for to seeing your first projects with the new toy.
