    Garage sale stop pays off

    I was returning home from picking up some plywood and saw a garage sale with a few tools so not being in a hurry I stopped to poke around. Under some other items I found brand new in the box and Incra positioning jig, the black one, not the new aluminum one. It still had the dvd and all the hardware. When they told me i could have it for $10 I almost get wind burn reaching for my wallet. This will be a nice addition to the router table I am in the midst of building.

    Very nice get... It does indeed pay to carry a bit of spare cash and keep your head on a swivel...

          That's a good CHEAP find. I just can't drive past a garage/yard sale. Not knowing what I'll find is what draws me.

              Very very cool. I have one. Mine was free. I will use it whenever I finish the replacement accessory table I am making for my BT.

                  Nice find indeed. I had a similar situation... I found one of these in my garage - the previous homeowner (and woodworker) left it behind! mine is from way back....tan in color.
