and others who ventured from local and towns around here. I am sure there are some gloats abroad from the WW show in KC, still going on.
I have a few small gloats, but the one thing I am most excited about was sold to me in about 2 seconds when I walked up to Terry. The Peachtree booth had a removable splitter. The kit comes with a guide, bit and splitters. You drill three holes in your zero clearnace insert with the above mentioned guide and bit. The splitters fits into the three holes. Removes within a millisecond and can be replaced in about the same. It comes with a second splitter which is slightly offset to help in fine tuning. Now for the price.... $15.
The rest of the buys were mainly little things, like clamps (I bought them from HD ... Besseys, 90 degree clamps and small tradesmen) whcih were on clearance, new work glasses, etc.
Oh yeah, I picked up the Kreg Pro Pack, they threw in the 90 degree clamp and some other stuff for the reagular price you see floating around of $129, so essentially you save about $30-$40 bucks.
Watch the guy at the Logosol booth work his A$$ off trying to muscle a 800 lb piece of cherry with two crotch areas. He spent about an hour trying to get it to a point the could cut it. He then had to flip it over after that to get it flat enough to cut 6/4 passes. I thought the whole thing was going crash down on him about 3 or 4 times. It was one nice hunk of cherry, already dried to 30 percent moisure. Not sure if he ever accomplished his goal. I tell you he better be the highest paid person working the show.
