Cacole - Saw your site via a post in another thread and I was very impressed. Your long bridges look is something I want to incorporate into my layout hence my interest in "tooling up". Matt - Looked at a number of cheapie table saws (all I can afford unfortunately) and none are very ZTTP friendly. My Web research (reading reviews) tells me the key to a happy sawing experience is a good "fence". Indeed there are after market fences that cost more than a lot of table saws! One saw touted for having a solid fence for ripping is the Hatachi C10FR so I think I'll go for that (just under $200). Down side is that the fence was the only good thing I found in the review. No ZTTP available that I can find, but that's true of everything I've looked at that's under $500. I like your idea of just making one and so I'll give that a try. These smaller saws with plastic housings are supposed to be screaming meanies so I'll have to work something out with my neighbors on the noise factor (no late night ripping up fence boards I guess <g>). Craftsman has an electric brad nailer that drives 18 gauge brads in 5/8, 3/4, 1, 1 3/16, and 1 1/4 inch lengths. Looks like I'll go for that one as well. First project is some cribbing... saw a tip from Jim Meagher about using bicycle spokes to anchor the cribbing... maybe can start this weekend. Really appreciate all the advice, thanks all! TJ
