    I spoke with Lee Marshall recently about a number of things, but 
    particularly the new saw. It seems that the first small batch will
    be ready in  about 30 days. Quite a few are already spoken for... I
    think that the price is  $1,495. 

    As soon as I have the saw set up here, anyone in my area is welcome
    to  come by and "test drive it." Please bring your own blades and
    materials to  cut. Call first, my current routine is 3 weeks in my
    studio and one week  teaching. 

    Anyone with carpal tunnel problems, tendonitis, and some forms  of
    arthritis, should probably consider trying this. The rest of you -
    the  puppies as well as the old dogs - might consider using one to
    prevent these  problems! I have all of them. The new saw seemed very
    easy on them... This tool really does work, extremely well! It uses
    the full length of the  blade, is variable speed, and has a roller
    style foot that puts pressure on the metal while supporting the
    blade. If any of you have used an  industrial sewing machine with
    that style foot - it is similar, but  placed on both sides of the
    blade - supporting it from the back -  and completely out of your
    field of view. (I was a saddlemaker in a  previous incarnation
    <grin>) 

    More information and an illustration  is available at the Bonny Doon
    website on the Discussions page - it will be  in the forum under the
    title "for those of you who couldn't make  Tucson." 

    As I may have said before, we're not related, and I own no stock  in
    Lee Marshall's company...
