That's one hell of an expensive toilet seat! That must be what the President sits on.

The BT3 is a great portable saw, but wouldn't you be happier with an induction motor contractor saw? ;)

I certainly would, but we end up using one of those crappy little $100 "table saws" enough on the jobsite that something like the BT3 is perfect for my needs. Until I'm retired, I'll get along just fine with it.
I was looking at the DeWalt and Ridgid models too, but the DeWalt isn't as "portable" and for whatever reason, I just don't like the Ridgid one.
The BT3 is about as "portable" as the DeWalt, but that's easily remedied, and there's just too many people out there http://www.bt3central.com/ that are willing to help with any odd jigs or uses that I can dream up to discount that as a "feature".

Another great deal here. This time it's a Starrett 12" Protractor. Drew has one of these and it helped him out a lot during the construction of his flight deck ;). At the price of $35 shipped it's a heck of a deal for a very useful shop tool. Not to mention the fact that starrett is THE company when it comes to measuring devices. They're hard to beat and usually very high priced. I think this normally goes for about $50+ at most places.
What makes the deal sweeter is that you can get a 9" starrett torpedo level free. On the protractor page scroll down until you see product promotions. It's the second one listed. Click on add both to your cart and during checkout the price of the level will be discounted.

Very tempting but I'll hold off as I spent $1200 on a pin last night... my router bit set came in, very pretty, nicely labeled with an organizing box and diagrams for what each bit does. Awesome.
EDIT: BTW, since I now have bits but no router, I need a router. It's only practical.
