I just cannot for the life of me figure a way to fit my Powermatic 66
cabinet saw in the back stateroom!

Clearly, you've built the wring boat.
I'll take RUTU and let you start again.

I feel the same way about my Powermatic 66. It's the best tool in the shop.

If it's some sort of table saw, remove the legs and build it into the
settee(?) like one of those pop-up cabinet sewing machines?

Could be difficult.
They look like THIS and weigh about 600 lbs.

However, if you must have it on-board, and you have the aux power to
drive it, cut a hole in the upper deck and lower it in place.

TF Jones mentioned the lack of durability of hand held power drills in one
of his books. So I've bought 3 old ones at garage sales for $1-$3.
Unpainted aluminum casing, single speed, but they do the simple jobs and I
haven't wasted a lot of money on them.

Will,

When is spending money _not_ wasting money for you?

Just curious.

When you get back more than you spend.

Finding ways to spend as little as possible is just as interesting and
creative as trying to get back as much as possible. They suppliment each
other.

Having a wider range of cheaper tools can be better than having fewer
more expensive tools.

Though sometimes the cheapest tool just can't do a job like a more
expensive tool can.

Eg a cheaper belt sander can do a reasonable job, but the cheapest
palm/orbital sander often isn't a lot of good.

cheers,
Pete.

Yes, there are "mistakes" for sale out there. My son bought a bench
grinder. Looks good. Spins up the wheels -- until you put a screwdriver
against the wheel. Then the 0.01 hp motor stalls. But cheap.

I figure it's a gamble every time I buy a super bargain. That said, I've
won more often than not.
