One less power tool in the shop!

Ernie Miller topeka

>I needed to fit som pannels in some frames for the wives island bar thing she has been bothering me for and there was alot of work that needed to get done so I figured I would drag the router out and set up the table and knock them out quick. I get a couple boards done and then start on a couple more this is going quick and the adjustment slips and that part is ruined %#$^@&^% so I re set it and the %#^$&#^ thing slips again. now I'm realy pissed pull the thing out of the table and toss it as hard as I can it bounces out to the edge of the street. I go out to the wood pile and find some wood to remake the parts grab all the peices and carry them down to the nander shop and start to remake the ruined peices. I come up a couple hours later and go out to the power tool shop and notice the damn router is no longer int the street. I should have picked it up and put it in the trash but now some poor unsuspecting person is going to ruin a project just for picking up my trash. I have thought about getting rid of that thing for years now it is gone. WO HOO!!!

>If I have a tool box that the bottom has rusted out, I put it on the curb with the trash. They alwasy disapear before the trash is picked up. I don't abuse my tool boxes, I get them at estate sales.

>Ernie,

Feel no pity for the fool who picked up your router, s/he deserves what they get. I gave away the last router I owned and I don't miss the dusty,noisy, dangerous beast one little iota. Wish I had thought of your method instead tho. ;~)
