O YE of little faith. I managed 2 pics and only one was good. I still have the machine sitting in the box waiting on some help to get it out and onto the stand which I have in the second picture which I can't really make out what it is so I suspect you will not be able to see what it is either. It is the stand and I am levelling off the feet for stability.

That should help the NPNH crew lol😄

Saw set up on stand and ready to go. The helpers came on Wednesday afternoon and unboxed  the saw then bolted it to the frame. It is an excellent height (adjustable) and I find it easy to load and change blades. It will be a real boost to the scrolling fretwork pieces and internal cuts. Haven't got Henry (the vacuum cleaner) set up yet but we are getting there (very slowly).

Congrats on the new saw.  So many new saws lately,, Makes me want to have a second saw again.

Ditto on the Congrats.  
My old second hand DW is still sitting off in a corner of my garage after I disassembled it to replace what I think are some bad bearings causing a lot of noise.  The Pegas I bought last August kept me distracted.  After doing a comparison of replacing all the bearings compared to buying a new one,  it makes me wonder if it's worth it to do the rebuild or just toss it.

There is something therapeutic in breaking down, replacing broken/worn parts and re-assembling machinery. This is accompanied by an overwhelming sense of achievement and the knowledge of a job well done. I wouls always go for this option if I could. IMHO

 

But I have never figured out what to so with the parts I have left over! 🫡

I am thinking of making/cutting a Chess Set. The set I really like is the San Francisco Set so I cut the King for this from 1 and a half inch (1 1/2") square Oak yesterday. It turned out ok and I will now have a look for some suitable woods to make up the 32 pieces needed. This King is about 4 1/2" high.
