    Heading to Shreveport, LA for 2 weeks...

    Is there anything/body worth seeing/visiting down there for a Creeker? Flying in Sunday, out two weeks later.

    Not much in the way of woodworking clubs/functions or unique wwodworking supply stores

    But we have 5 full service casinos. By full service I mean that they will fully take any extra money you may carry.

    But if you get real bored you can help me set up a dust collection system in my garage shop.

    You coming to Barksdale AFB?

    Casinos? pfffft. If I want to see casinos, I'll visit ours. No, not Barksdale, I'm not a zoomie. I develop software for the gaming (casino) industry, and part of our company is there, so I get to work and play with them for 2 weeks.

    If it was me, and the mid-trip weekend was free, I'd be looking for specs and redfish on the coast.
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    John,

    Tyler, Tx is about 100 miles from Shrevesport. Our local club, East Texas Woodturners, has a meeting March 20. That may be a stretch for you. Send me a PM if you are interested in coming this way.

    on you way home from LA

    There was a creeker advertising a nice Oneida dust collector who is in LA. Might be worth looking into if you need one, or you could bring it back for a creeker who does.

    I lived there for a year. Look for the weekly seafood buffets offered by some of the casinos. I thought they were awesome. That was over 10 years ago, but I suspect they are still awesome!
