A while back I ran a "wanted" ad on here for a specific little table saw made by Jobmate that has a 6 amp motor. Discontinued in stores, wanted ad on Kijiji only yielded saws in Ontario or Saskatchewan so shipping killed that idea.
Along comes 57Poncho (Vern) to the rescue. A couple of weeks ago I get a call. "Carl, I had some time today so I went looking in pawn shops and found 2 saws like you are looking for!" Not only did he tell me about it, he proceded to buy it and hold on to it until I could pick it up and pay him.
Tonight I made a Winnipeg run and picked up my saw. Also had a "mini" CP meeting with Vern and Joel (62Beaumont) to check out Joel's 62 project!
A big public thank you to Vern for going above and beyond the call of duty!

Carl the 1 is in Morris Manitoba Carl the 2 is in Clinton Ontario everyone else is close
Don't forget Carl the 3 is in Calgary. I hear a commercial on the radio that says it only takes 3 days and 15 hours to drive accross Canada. So we are all close.
