Decisions Decisions

Post by lightnin »

I got to the Indy Woodworking show today later than I wanted because of the weather.
I found that in the next pavilion there was a Gun & Knife show and not enough time to do both.

Hummmmm. Decisions...

Woodworking won out. I bought a few things my biggest purchase was the Kregg Pocket hole jig.

I did find out that SAND-FLEE makes a drum sander for Shopsmith interesting.
Shopsmith was there but there is nothing new I needed from them but I'm always looking good used stuff.

I didn't know what a Shopsmith was...
Three days later I owned one...
One week later I was rebuilding one...
Four months later I owned two....
Ok Ok, I'm up to four now...

Thanks for sharing that Bruce. Is there a website that lists these kind of shows for anything in Iowa or close to it? I would love to go to one of them. Thanks.

Wish there was one remotely close to us, Dusty.

Yes, I do wish there was one nearby. The group of Shopsmith users here in the Tucson/Arizona area is getting large enough that we could have one great outing.

It was about five years ago (I think) that they came here and as I remember there was quite a large turnout. I was introduced to the SandFlee at that show. I did not buy one but Ron, a Shopsmith owner that I went to the show with, did.

Yep, I went to that one. Bought the Flat Sander kit from Stockroom Supply and a Kreg kit.

Thanks Dusty I appreciate the reply and link. To me Links, Pictures are good but Videos are even more better. I have video and camera equipment and Pro Audio Equipment for making videos just have not made any for awhile and none on my woodworking as of yet. Future thing. For software and other things I record my computer screen using a software from TechSmith called Camtasia Studio and SnagIt for all of my Picture editing and Photoshop for some design ideas.
