[General] 36" Band Saw for cheap

[Jacob Chancery]

Nice looking saw.  I would also snap that up if I had room.  I'll donate my
manpower to move it and $40 towards the purchase price.  I just joined the
mailing list and haven't been to the makerspace yet, so I don't know if
there's room.

Cheers,
Jacob
