Free way to prevent rusty tools.

I saw this tip in the newspaper and thought I'd pass it along: Save the desiccant packs that come inside pill bottles and packaged manufactured goods and throw them in your tool boxes. Brilliant idea. Now I've got to go build some "not new" boxes/cases for some of my larger electric tools so they don't get any rustier.

Back to the pawn shop for a compounding miter saw.

Not 100% sure exactly what this does or how it works, but if I am going to put in my own flooring, I know I will need one. Still looking for "not new" flooring. Found some, but I'm holding out for the perfect flooring. Might take awhile if it's going to be "not new." Planning on selling the saw when I'm done. I bought it for $55 and found it selling elsewhere for $70-$125 used elsewhere, so should be easy enough to sell. Feeling good about my purchase...used and a bargain to boot. The guy even put it in my trunk for me. (Now, if I could just get someone to take it out of the trunk...)
