I know, I haven't posted in a while. Been so busy with school I haven't even had time to breathe! :eek:
Like the title says, my father and I visited Portland, OR last week. We went to 3 awesome WW stores over there. First stop was a place called Hall's Tools. Not really actually a woodworking store specifically per-se, but I needed a regulator for our 60 gallon IR compressor. Worked out great and I got a good price. Piped it in when I got home, and long story short is that the compressor works miracles. Also been building a chicken coop so it's nice not to have to hear the little 2 gallon Campbell Hausfeld running ever 9 nails from the framing nailer draw...:rolleyes:
Next stop was a place called Barbo Machiney. Lemme tell ya, what a great store! People were friendly, and they had some cool 'ol iron. Some cool old powermatics and a bunch of great used equipment. Walked away with a Biesemeyer drop-in splitter for the Unisaw.
Next place we went was a place called "Woodcrafters" not to be confused with "The Woodcraft". They have a pretty basic website here http://www.woodcrafters.us/. I would encourage anyone to check out the store if they are ever in Portland, OR. My father and I talked to the very nice gentleman that owns the place for about an hour and a half. Great guy, hell, he even gave us 2 SawStop hats. It now alternates days with my festool hat. :D
Well gentleman and ladies, hope you enjoyed my tale of a fun filled father-son woodworking based bonding day in Portland. There are some more details, but I am too lazy to hammer them out on the keys tonight!
