As we continue on our journey toward a shop we purchased some new equipment today. Woodworkers Supply Company, our local tool and equipment dealer, had a grand opening for their new store today. The place was packed with people to see Scott Phillips give various demonstrations, (host of "The American Wood shop" on PBS). Numerous manufacturers were on hand in the store and outside under tents along with the free BBQ. Anyway everything was marked down for the grand opening plus an additional 10% for Saturday. So off we went with checkbook in hand looking for bargains. We walked out with a huge 6" PowerMatic jointer. The combined length of the in feed/out feed tables is over 5 1/2 feet and it included two extra sets of knives. We also picked up an impressive full sized drill press with built in light. It included a free mortising attachment with three mortise bits/chisels. I could have easily spent a lot more money in there. So many tools, so little time! Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
