In this episode, we’re saying goodbye to my trusty cottage saw, which has been with me for years –
albeit a bit too long, considering its nickname “Cottage Saw of Death”. My dad picked it up at an auction years ago and used it mostly for a few projects. Little did I know, it would become a constant companion whenever I’m up North.
First introduced to the cottage saw was my passion project list, where I kept all the jobs that needed doing around the place. As time went by, I found myself using it more frequently than I thought possible – every visit seemed to bring new projects and repairs. While I made some minor adjustments over the years to keep things running smoothly, I’ve never had a major issue with it… until now.
The reason for its retirement is twofold. Firstly, my dad’s original intention was fulfilled when he finished his small projects, leaving me to tackle bigger tasks on my own. Secondly, let’s be honest – after all the close calls and narrow escapes I had over the years, it was time for a change.
Luckily, I found a great replacement at Habitat for Humanity for $45 and $6 in blades. The new Sears 10″ Direct drive saw is perfect for tackling small tasks around the vacation home. With its ease of use and reliable performance, it’s set to become my go-to tool for many more projects.
So, what are we fixing today? We’re putting this old saw out to pasture and giving a new one a chance to shine. Alongside me, you’ll see how I disassemble the old saw, take it apart for good riddance, and then set up the shiny new Sears Direct drive saw. Next, we’ll test its performance on some minor tasks before concluding this episode.
In addition, I want to thank Habitat for Humanity for providing me with a great deal on my new saw. It’s clear that they’re committed to helping people like us who are looking to improve their homes without breaking the bank.
