The band saw worked pretty well. You just have to remember that the cut you're making is only as true as what you're using to guide the cut. Ours has a guide on it that rotates so you can make angled cuts and ours was off a bit. I should have gotten a step stool over there so I could see it better. The strips aren't perefectly even, but they're not off by too much. The other thing is that the saw part is bendable so you have to have the speed high and not puh it through, just guide it through otherwise the cut is off a bit. It was easy enough for me to use and the extent of my power tool experience consists of power drills, drill presses and soldering tools. You just have to look at which one will be the most versatile for you.
Sleep...ah...sleep. I got about 3 1/2 hours. I was exhausted this morning but I managed to go to the movie store to get the movies that came out today, go grocery shopping, clean the kitchen and eat lunch. I friggin rock!
I just realized that we need a head banging rocker smiley.
