    Hi - I need a tablesaw immediately - however I need it dropped off in hollywood - anything in the 100-1000 range would suit as long as it's a reasonable deal... must be 10" or more. Contractors saw or else cabinet saw...


    thanks

    If he is going to hack up a body he really should be using a reciprocating saw. I would say chainsaw, but that would probably spread the evidence.

    All kidding aside, that does seem suspicious. Perhaps his street pharmacist gave him something that makes him crave cabinet building?

        Given the location (Hollywood), my guess is that it's a prop person trying to get props for a movie or play. Typically short notice, beat the bushes to find a lot of obscure stuff within 8 to 12 hours. Delivered saves a bunch of time and effort.

          I think they lace the Harbor Freight ads with the same stuff.
          If you can read this you assembled wrong.
