Popular Post Jim DaddyO Posted December 5, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I signed up for email updates at the Bosch Tools website and a few months ago they send me a message to do a survey for them. I answered a few questions and submitted it and thought that was that. Well, low and behold a couple of weeks back I get a message saying I won a Bosch GSM12SD 12” Glide Mitre saw. A form to fill out for tax purposes and they told me it is on the way.Now, I have been a fan of this saw since I first saw it, and only dared to dream that someday I would own the 10” version…..it was a wild fantasy.Yesterday, we went out for few groceries and when we came home UPS had dropped it off. The box was pretty beat up. I was going to wait until today to open it, but I could not wait, so I opened it up in the kitchen. The saw’s dust extraction tube was damaged, but the saw is OK other than that, and what a saw! I spent a bit of time going over it and getting familiar with it and what moves what.WOW! This thing is huge and heavy (about 65 pounds I think). It will be used as a stationary piece of equipment. For now I just brought it out to the shop and set it on the table saw until I make a spot for it. Today, I will go out and give it a try.Many thanks to Bosch Tools for letting me be involved with them. There is nothing better than free stuff, particularly when it exceeds your fantasy! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim DaddyO Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 It has been a long day. Along with taking the footage of the video, editing it, uploading and all the rest, I did all the card scraping on all the parts made so far of the essential oil rack I have been working on, did 2 separate glue ups on it (one is drying now), made a new batch of BLO and bees wax, and applied it to the pieces for the back panel of the rack. On top of that I barbiqued some steaks for supper. Yes,....barbique,.... in Canada,.... in December!So without any more rambling on, here is the video.
