I now have a relatively small space at the end of one garage where I have fit my workbench, scroll saw, contractor's saw and a tabletop band saw.

    Cathy questions a thread title

    "Erniem is a god"??? I didn't moderate this because a Senior Moderator and another Moderator posted on the thread which I take as tacit acceptance of the title. I realize the poster is new, that he didn't use a capital G of god, and I don't think the poster meant that Ernie is an actual God...
