A RADIAL drill press? If I were you, I'd marry that woman ;)

LOL....if I were married....I wouldn't be getting half this stuff, this gift is from my dad...my family gets nice presents for each other....
FYI....I'll probably take the press back...that is just way too much money for someone to spend even though i really want it

There's a pretty decent looking plan for a panel saw in ShopNotes magazine, issue #4.
According to their plan it should cost $134 for hardware plus the cost of wood. Looks pretty functional too!

Looks interesting. I definitely don't have the room in the basement for one, so I won't be building one, but I'm very interested in seeing how it's done. Does anybody have a scan?

I'll see if I can scrounge up anything. I dunno what I've got, but I bought 2 mags with panel saw plans. The first was ridiculous. $500 in hardware ::)
Chad, Black&Decker's site tends to have a lot of really simplified stuff, and they offer some higher-skill stuff (well, higher than "how to cut wood" stuff anyway) too once you feel more comfortable. http://www.blackanddecker.co.uk/index.asp?frmFirst=True&EOF=False&mktid=2

Matt Berry:
Pick up a copy or subscription to Wood magazine it is geared twords beginer / intermediate level wood workers. Also another way to learn is to look for a class. There are schools that specialize in just woodworking and art. Some colleges offer woodworking courses too.
You can also learn a lot off from forums such as woodcentral, woodnet, bt3central, sawmillcreek, ect.
Vader I wouldn't return the tool, you should keep it.
