Before I had any floor tools or a shop I went and watched the demo at Lowes in 2000. I fell in love with it but was too poor to buy one new. In 2005 this 1986 mark V was given to me by a guy that had no room for it. He barely got it and a power station out of the ex wife's house before the bank foreclosed on it. I am still missing one side table lol. I never used it as a table saw but I love that thing. I have hand built thee 4x4 steel and alum CNC routers with it. Tons of drilling and manual tap positioning on it in steel, alum, and wood and hdpe plastic. Its also my only wood lathe.
Me and my 72 year old neighbor installed 39 more 2x6s today. 38 left to go.
Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.

Wow, that is going to be one very stout pole barn, especially with the plywood installed. You're building this for your great grandchildren.

insulation .... yuck,
no matter how well dressed I think I am, I always end up with something itching when I'm done for the day installing it.
