Last weekend I was on my way to a park and didn't have a dime on me. Maybe I said this before. I stopped at a garage sale and just about pooped my pants. The guy had inherited his father-in-laws wood shop and was getting rid of all the tools. I saw the Porter Cable dovetail jig there and it was marked $10. Everything was marked $10. I had to sell my dovetail jig a while back. The guy asked me what I was interested in and I replied about the dovetail jig and said I don't have any money and he told me to take it home with me. So a free dovetail jig.
I saw this Bosch 1581 jig saw at a local flea market type shop and had the money to buy it this week. It is the best jig saw ever made, although I have never touched a Festool, I don't know about that. The oscillation on mine quit working years ago and it just doesn't cut well, I think I ended up getting rid of it. I paid $25 plus tax for this one, I count that as a bargain.
