For those contemplating upgrading or buying for a first time, here is a side by side picture of my old Grizzly and new Harvey saw.

Looks like quite an upgrade - will look forward to a review once you've put some wood through it

Easy Guys. I'm setting up my dream shop in my new house. Notice the ductwork work on the floor to hang. I sold an expensive toy and promised myself that I would buy some upgraded toys to enjoy in my retirement. You'll get the full tour when I get everything finished.

Congratulations, Webb, we're just winding you up.
 
I love the wood floor. Concrete gets hard.
Me, I am jealous of how clean it is. Yikes you can see the floor. VERY nice shop.

Haven’t had a chance to get the floor dirty. It’s laminate and dresses up the concrete but it’s still pretty hard. I’ll get a chance soon to put some dust on the floor when I make the outfeed table and miter saw station. Since it’s part of the house, dust control is paramount.

Way to dream! Standing by for that reveal!

Never had a toy that would give me that kind of purchasing power once sold. Never owned a boat. Or an airplane.

It was a Porsche. Wife didn’t enjoy it and I wasn’t driving it much and when I did, I drove too fast. We moved to an area where the cops run radar a lot and that plus upkeep and insurance all helped the decision to sell.

My shop brings me more enjoyment than the car was bringing.

Ah so. Well, I did have a BMW Z3. It was a 2001. Sold it in 2019 with less than 35K miles. Wife didn’t like riding it in because it messed up her hair. And, honestly, as I got older it got harder to get in and out of. She likes the Volvo SUV though.
