I'm going over in a couple of hours to pick up a blade for my stanley 112 and maybe a book or two. I can't afford to get what I'd really like to grab--the new milwaukee 3 hp router. Happy shopping.

Dennis,

I just got back from there. I got a Rousseau router table insert for my router table and a couple of knobs to finish up a mission style cabinet that I have been working on (I hope to post pictures soon). The place was pretty busy...but you probably could have guessed that ;). I would have liked to get a few other things too, but decided to get out of there before I spent too much. Have fun shopping.

I went at lunch. Pretty busy, but I didn't see guys loading up the "big iron" like I thought I would. Last year it seemed like I saw guys buying PM66's and a couple PM719As going out the door at the same time.

Picked up a Clifton 3110 plane. I little BD present to myself a day early. :)

Hi Dennis

I just got back from our "local" Woodcraft. Local means about an hour away. I've been meaning to get there for a while, so a friend of mine and I took a road trip and checked the place out. I spent a whopping $5.00 for a stop collar which will be affixed to the spindle on my Legacy. My buddy Bob did not get away so easily, spending close to $100 for some hollowing tools. During the course of my visit I was able to make a contact with a new turner who will probably be showing up in my shop in the near future for some "guidance". ;)

I blew It!! I ordered the ultimate Sjoberg Bench without the storage boxes. I've been meaning to make a bench, but can't seem to fit it in my schedule. I'll make the next one. The store is about 90 minutes away.:)

Yeah, I ended up with the intended scraper blade and an assortment of ebony pen turning blanks. I'd like to have gotten the milwaukee router, a corner chisel and maybe a new dado blade, but there's no way SWMBO would allow anything like that since we just got very bad news from the accountant about income taxes.

Mike, we all need to form a circle around you and hold hands while chanting. I'm sure it'll cure you.

Don't tell my wife, but I just bought 4 or 5 of the top items I "needed" for my shop. I'm starting to sell my stock portfolio to cover the credit card bill.

You didn't come all the way down to Downingtown did you? That store is about 5 minutes away from me.
