Afternoon,
Well, I thought I would have a "tool gloat" to share by now, but turns out NOT!! I purchased (or thought I had) at the Greensboro WW show, a Shop Fox 19" Bandsaw from the young fellow there.
To date, my CC has been charged (funds supposedly on the way back)
I have been promised three differnt pickup dates and no Bandsaw. I contacted the Head Office, Woodstock International, today up in WA. state to see if they could assist. Think my next call is going to be the folks that put on the show in Greensboro to give them an earful about no "vetting" more closely who they admit as a reseller!!! http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/images/smilies/BangHead.gif
I have always tended to shy away from buying something at the shows that I could not take immediate delivery of, just because of this type of issue. The guy is out of Woodbridge, VA, the deal made even sweeter by the fact that I did not have to pay sales tax since he is out of VA and I am in NC, and the FIL who lives in VA was going to stop by and pickup the Bandsaw and drop it off here for me.........on top of the absolute best price I had seen....
The guys name: Lance M. Frye
His website: shop-fox-machinery.com (http://www.shop-fox-machinery.com/)
When you call the main number, you get a furnture store of some sort, (which I was not aware of before I called the first time to check on the Bandsaw status)....
When the little voice on your shoulder is talking to you, listen....
