After 25 years in the tech industry, I just experienced my first real layoff. I'd say that's a pretty good run! My calendar is wide-open, and I have a shop full of tools and wood that have been calling my name for a while. I'm gonna go back there and build something.

Find the right model for you, and get last years version for a decent discount. Most don’t have major changes for the same model each year, or not enough that most of us would notice. Following this process I usually get $160 MSRP shoes for $75-90.
