I usually go to the Indianapolis show (In 2 Weeks) and have been going for about 20 years now, i think I have only missed 1 show that was a year that I was on a cruise. The show has really gone down hill in the past 20 years, the first time I went I walked in and thought there is no way to see

Hello All, See what happens at Woodworking Shows. You show a machine and people pay lots of money for them and never put them to use. The old impulse purchase. You don't get those nearly as often online--not for a couple of grand!! You have to show people the marvels of your machine in person.

Hi guys I have to say Curt how true was the Norm Abram's effect. If I had a $ for everyone who has mentioned him to me at a show or on the telephone when selling I could give up selling because I would be richer than Tim. Norm is no longer shown over here but in his heyday a definite market drive

You guys are right. Celebrity matters, be it woodworking or sports. Woodworking needs a couple of new stars. You would think with so many stations, woodworking could find its own. Begat On Sun, Jan 6, 2013 at 6:22 AM, Roger H Phebey < r...@woodworkersworkshop.co.uk> wrote: > Hi guys > >

Roger, The desire for more depth probably explains part of the redesigned gantry, too. From what I'm reading, the desire to go beyond 6" Z travel increases the need for counteracting deflection. To be sure, I'm no engineer, but I've been doing some homework. That's why the manual machines are m
