Good motels and restruants all close on Miller Lane. The presentations were great in my opinion. I only wish I could have had a cup of coffee without having to leave ShopSmith.

Stephen and I had a great time and learned alot. It was a good opportunity to get away from the women folk (no offense) and the video games. Nick was kind enough to cut and joint a hefty piece of lumber (walnut I think) for Stephen to turn on the lathe.
I agree with the downtime between demos and the lack of coffee. I offered to assist with the planning of the event next year. I'm thinking that some owner's could share some of their experiences with the group in a demo format.
I tried making coffee, but couldn't get either of their machines to work. I have one of those big 30 cup coffe makers that I will bring next year.
Perhaps someone could design a coffee SPT!

Sincerely,

Actually, the down time between the demos was a time I enjoyed, as I got to talk to other owners, Nick, Drew, Jim, and Phil. Picked up a lot in that time.

Besides, everyone is forgetting Bill Mayo's instant seminars on how to rebuild and restructure the various SS into referbed, midis and minis.

And Ron's son Stephen had a pretty good time on the lathe with Nick.
