Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck fans, Sean, Shaun, Rod, and John!

Was a beautiful sunny day here in the River City today, 60° and no white crap that can be seen from my house.

I have a china saw that has a metric allen set screw that has been a pain in the **** since day one.

When I got this one, I wanted a DeWalt but the money was a problem.

I have the 22 inch De Walt but I haven't used most of my woodworking tools since I started working on these trucks. Decided to make some Ford emblems today..
