Default RE: CAP or Extra?

I have looked at band saws - there is no doubt that I will end up getting one at some point. The way I cut plywood currently is a total hack.

That is too funny, I found out I waste less ply when I bought the band saw, instead of cutting out a big chunk and sanding to final, I now can cut to almost exact size around curves and do very little sanding in the endrun, there are a few benchtop tools I still want, but I've gotta get a bigger shop for those, or build a tool olny shelf. I did do some covering last night, but didn't get too far, I left my job at 3:30, stopped at the hobby shop, and eventually got home around 7:30 or so, most of that was bumper to bumper traffic, the total miles one way is olny 75, but it took me at least 3 hours. Today,.......if, and that's a big IF!, I get the absorber running right at milford hospital, then I'll call out tomorrow and work on the extra, finish it up and move on to reassembly, tonight I'll paint the parts since the weather is ok, and I have the nose covered in the colors.
