Maybe?The best reward for a job well done is the opportunity to do another.

That's my home town...now I'm trying to figure out who 'DLB' is.
I don't know who he is, but it looks like he has been hitting wing dams with his prop:http://rmn.craigslist.org/boa/806327149.html
Holy cow! I looked at the picture of the boat in the Craigslist ad, and realized they live in my childhood home (you can see it in the background.) My folks bought the place in the late 1940s and lived there until they passed on about 15 years ago. I have no idea who lives there now, it's gone through several different owners since we sold it. I was down there a few weeks ago and drove by the old house, and noticed that boat was sitting in the driveway.

they don't know nothing about boating thats for sure,you read their story, a good boater can have that much trouble before noon. waste 2 weekends and only bought a battery and a prop.i'm sure i could've at least tore up the trailer a little or knock a chunk out of the hull in 2 saturdays.
boating :if it was a job ,i'd quit
larryif a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
My next-door neighbor dropped his boat off the trailer before he even got it in the water the first time.

Yeah, a boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.

I was helping my cousin with his DIY building project and he had brought out one of those when I said I needed a sawzall. I just about fell over laughing, but it did work.
Years back when out in New Hampshire I'd met a retired plumber who had an old metalcased sawzall that was really a museum piece that he still used.
I was helping cut a hole for a stool with it and could feel a light current going into my hands.
Ended up using mine but wouldn't have minded owning that ancient piece of Americana.
Yeah, I can recall seeing those when I was younger.
(Chatfield's just a stone's throw from here, but don't need any tools I can't use -- don't have room for the ones I've got already.)
first 'sawzall' I ever used was kinda-sorta like that. It had the barrel motor mounted vertically in front of the handle like that.
But the blade was a pair of real handsaw blades sliding opposite each other at the same time. Not disposable blades.
All I could think of was "I hope I don't hit a nail, I hope I don't hit a nail, I hope I don't hit a nail, I hope I don't hit a nail...."
Because I had borrowed it and knew the cost of resharpening it

Water, had to bring the piece to it to cut it.

But then Pif invented the "extension sluice", he ran water for 50 and 100' with no drop of power.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

That's right, I remember him saying he had trouble with the early sluice quick connectors, tho.
Which of course led to his inventing the Piffin Screw as the quick repair for everything that needs to carry a load under pressure. Marketed world wide as I understand it now.

Also where the expression 'I got screwed' got started.
That sounds like a lead into a rather aggressive thread.

I might be wrong, of course.
You remember ever using a Welsaw? The reciprocating blade was backed up by a steel arm that was shaped like a handsaw.John Svenson, builder, remodeler, NE Ohio

Interesting!
I didn't know Stanley even made any power tools.
I find the arrangement of the parts - similar to my roto-hammer - interesting. Did anyone else have this arrangement?
Finally ... I have heard that the term "sawzall" originated, in fact, with someone besides Milwaukee. Does anyone know the whole story?
YesI know that they made routers.http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?t=33524http://www.owwm.com/PhotoIndex/detail.aspx?id=45http://www.owwm.com/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=1149http://www.woodcentral.com/shots/shot498.shtmlhttp://www.woodenboat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=629"We now see a tool which when new sold for about 150 USD fetching way over 600 USD on ebay, if you can spot one. Stanley's fine line of routers and their line of handplaners first developed by RL Carter Electric Tools had already disappeared because of Boschs need to adhere to the German standards.""Robert Bosch the German conglomerate first bought Stanley Electric Power Tools sometime in the early 1960's and not too long after bought SKIL tools.
Bosch being a German outfit immediately set out to make ALL the power tools meet the rigerous German Health and Safety Standards.".

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
My BIL has both of my dad's Stanley routers and his Stanley 100 plane. All still work I can still close my eyes and count the bits in the box it came in as well as hear him telling me " cover my ears" as he was going to turn it on. I must have been about 4 -6 years old when that memory became permanently imprinted in me.

heres an old monkey wards, not sure if its a wierd jigsaw or baby sawsall but it still works fine
Remember when Jig saws were called saber saws? That may be the actual saber saw.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

Reminds me of some early e-bay ads that read something like,
"Not sure what this is, but it's rare and worth a lot of money."
i have one almost just like that and in better condition.
at least i think it's down in the basement.
let me know if you want it.
it takes about 5 minutes to cut through a 2x4.
carpenter in transition
My dad has a black plastic Black&Decker identical in size and shape to that Stanley sawzall. He loaned it to me when I was first starting out about 15yrs ago. It doesn't oscillate the blade so it takes forever to cut wood, and the ergonomics is all lopsided, and it vibrates like the dickens.
He made me give it back when I bought a REAL sawzall
(actually I bought the PC Tigersaw when it first came out and it cut twice as good as any Mil sawzall out at the time!).
