My nephew decided he wanted to make a go of working as a carpenter for a local contractor.  He had been working part-time in the industry for a number of years already, but pretty much only during the summers as he was kept more than busy enough between college and baseball the rest of his time.  However, with college now over and ‘the big leagues’ no where in sight, he had to figure out what to do with his psychology degree.  Construction seemed like the logical choice.

Since I wanted to help the guy out as much as I could, the only thing I could think of was to but the best quality tools in his hands to help him with his chosen profession.  I know he had looked at his father’s old Black and Decker circular saw… but I insisted that he get started with what I have had at my side everyday since I started in this business oh, so many years ago…  my Makita circular saw never failed me and I feel confident that his will treat him the same way.
