thanks for forwarding that! However we definitely don't want those things.
We already have a small bench grinder and anything larger is too dangerous.
A table saw is something I call a "plank thrower" and is dangerous even for an
experienced expert who gets careless. Also, there is almost nothing that
can't be done just as easily using a handheld circular saw (and i'll help).
We had a table saw a couple of years ago and i had to throw it out several
times before it stayed gone.
A router table is another specialized large woodshop item that we don't want.
thank you though!

Peter--
FOTLL has come into a large tool donation in Kensington. It includes a table
saw, router table, and bench grinder. FOTLL's storage space is already
overflowing. We'd be happy to pass some of this windfall along to another
nonprofit. The East Bay German International School has first dibs for their
planned Makers Space. Do any of the aforementioned tools strike your fancy
for immediate delivery -- today or tomorrow?
Onward and upward...
--Jack.
