Woodworker karma and mis-assebled 42X
Mick Foley
>Hey all -
A few weeks back I posted about a replacement screw for a 42X. Lief Hanson noted that he had a 42X with the screw, but missing the anvil. After a short email exchange, he mailed me the entire 42X - refusing any offer of payment. His only condition was that I do something similar for someone in the future (and I will). Thank you Lief - may good woodworking karma flow your way...
The 2nd half of the story occured last night when I cleaned and assembled the 42X. It turns out that the one I bought (not Lief's) was assemebled so that the striker was upside down. I can't see how anyone would think that one could set a saw with it that way, but you never know... It certainly did not come from the factory that way, so somewhere along the line someone took it apart, probably to clean and oil it, and when reassembling, got it wrong.
