This is the "Big Boy" show. If you haven't been before, you just can't imagine what you have missed. Takes three days to see MOST of the show. If you are thinking of flying to Atlanta, you don't need to rent a car. Just pickup the MARTA in the airport, go to Five Points and transfer to west...
I know this is out of the normal territory for PE requests, but it never hurts to ask. One of our generous members, Gritz, has donated an old furnace fan to me and he gave it to a camper I was supposed to camp with a week or so ago. My camper friend ended up having to work that weekend and was...
Just got back from 3 days at the Atlanta Woodworking show. I thought is was better this year than two years ago (I didn't go last year). The venue was smaller but at least the parking was free. :eusa_clap
There were several good deals. Highland Woodworking had a whole LOT of stuff at 50% off...

I don't know what I was googling that found this link for me, and there are no pics, but this tool list is pretty extensive. No idea on how good a deal you might find.

Mark Spagnolo (The Wood Whisperer) gave a thorough demonstration of the new Kapex sliding compound miter saw by Festool. What a nice guy and a great tool! His wife was there, too and she was doing a Live Pod-cast to their website while I was there (I'll need to check it out for re-runs!)
The ShopBot Buddy -- this is a great design for a smaller shop CNC machine -- the work piece is moved along the X-axis from under the table and the Y- and Z-axes move across overhead -- allows larger work pieces on a smaller footprint.
