Here it is stored above my table saw.
I need to get the wires attached and out of the way, but it fits and works.
So, combination work table, out feed table that can be stored in the useless space above my table saw.

I'm ready to get a tracksaw.
It appears that the Makita, Dewalt and Festool are pretty much equal for hobbies.
Anyone have particular experience with these?
I would like to use it for ripping full sheets of plywood. It's doable, but requires a lot of care with my current setup to keep the the plywood against the fence the whole way. And I'm only getting older. Anyone have experience with attaching two 55" tracks for ripping entire sheets? I'm nervous about how sturdy it is. I'm likely to buy the additional single track for doing 8' rips, but am happy to spend less on 2x55" if they work well. Anyone have experience there?
Warm regards,

Plus, Festools saw is like $1,000 vs the $70 for the Kreg jig"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Are the Nest/Ecobee thermostats worth the money? I'm thinking about buying the Nest because it has the geofencing (senses when you're gone from your phone and knows when you get close to home), and, more importantly, you can adjust the balance between when your heat pump runs alone and when your auxiliary heat kicks in.
I went with the simple digital thermostat that came with our house for the first ten years, but bought a programmable thermostat last year. My electric bill went up fairly substantially last winter and I'm pretty sure it was because this Honeywell PoS was just turning on the auxiliary heat and not letting the heat pump ramp up.
I know heat pumps don't work when it's below 35, but this past winter was fairly mild and the only thing I changed from the year before was the thermostat. My old thermostat would show an icon when the aux heat kicked in, the Honeywell was more unclear. I may literally have the cheapest electricity in the country (6 cents per kilowatt), but between Dec and Feb, I wouldn't be surprised if my electricity usage went up around $100-150 total over those three months from the year before.
Anyway, do you guys like the Nest?Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

I bought two ecobees on prime day. I’m not sure yet if they are worth the money, but they’ve been nice to have. They are very easy to control and were easy to install. I like that they have sensors, which I’ve placed around the house to sense when the home is occupied and the to help with the disparate temps in the house. It’s been nice to have it sense that people are gone as the AC does run less sing rive set it the temp two degrees higher when the home isn’t occupied.
However, to be honest, I really bought them because my kids upstairs will crank the AC or heat so now I can lock it down or at least know when the are messing with it."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
