Re: figured cedar chest

Hi Mike. My name is Steve I read your bio and Im sorry to hear about you loosing your leg. I too have a similar story. I lost my leg (ak)about six years ago and found woodworking to be great therepy and a great way to make money. I also read that you need a table saw I may be able to give you some advice on how to acquire one for free. I would like to talk with you and give you some info but I don't want to give all my contact info here. If you have an email you could give I will give you my phone number. By the way, you do nice work.
