It's A Rare Thing

Post by jmattsson »

Hello All. Recently, on the "General Woodworking" section of our forum, one of our members (who wishes to remain anonymous, offered up 5 FREE table saw blades for a Mark V. I read the post a couple of times, and revisited the post a few more after my initial read to see if someone else had snatched up this very generous offer. When no one else grabbed it, I did.
The blades arrived yesterday. When we spoke on the phone, the donor did say the blades were in rough shape, and they are, but my point here is someone offered a valuable commodity (5 table saws blades with 4 arbors) and followed through by getting them to me via USPS in 2 days! I find it a rare thing these days for people to follow through on what they are going to do, but here, in this SS community, we do what we say we are going to do, and I wanted to acknowledge the generoisty of this particular SS member. Thank you.

A very generous gift, indeed. And it was quite noble of you to recognize his generosity and timeliness in your kind post.

My dealings with SS forum members and wood workers generally, have all been very positive.

I agree with the above.
A "rare thing", in life maybe, but not around here on this Forum/group of SS owners.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)
