Nyah, Nyah, Ny Nyah Nyah.
I've got a Triton.
Saved all my pennies. Stopped buying lollies on the way home from (boat building) school.
Watched the Trading Post for months - the offers were nearly always the old model and if you didn't ring by 9am on the day it came out, the thing was sold.
So I bought a brand spanking new Triton 2000 Workcentre.
At $460 it'd better do the bloody job.
So now I'm free from the tyranny of the lumber yard. Can use timber rescued from the salvage yards - like the oregon 4x2's sitting in my shed that, until recently, were part of a church (got them for nix too).
Of course, now I've got to buy the planer attachement, and a decent blade for my saw, and the dust extraction system, and the height adjustment, and the router attachements, and a gorgeous blonded to wipe the sweat from my brow.
Hmm. Perhaps the lumber yards weren't so expensive after all.
Hah! I recently bought the sticks for my 7' pram - not masts or anything, just inwales and such. Cost me $100 to get the timber cut to the right size - then found I'd forgotten the centre board. With the Triton, I could have done that lot for about $30, or free with the timber I was given. This Triton will probably pay for itself but even if it doesn't, the convenience has gotta help.
Besides, my Dad is soooo jealous.
Cheers
Richard
