RIP our table saw

Our table saw was no match for our basement.  After cutting a ton of boards for closets and baseboards, it decided it didn't want to work anymore.  I don't know if it was all the saw dust that clogged it up or if it was because it was 20 years old, but it decided not to work anymore.  We still had a bunch of baseboards and closet shelves to cut.  We went to my parent's house and used my dad's saw, but it took a while and was such a mess. \\

It was then decided that we would go to the college's MakerSpace and use their table saw.  Bryan and I went through their training so we would know what we were doing.  We then signed up for a time to go over and cut boards. We were amazed at how quickly and quietly we were able to cut the boards.  And they have a dust collection method that makes it so there isn't much of a mess.  We decided this was well worth the small amount of money we had to pay to use the saw.
