= 3.88 over 65 days | IWF - NCWWer Get Together (Who's going)
So, who is going to IWF? Anyone want to have a get together while down there. I'll be going either Wednesday or Thursday most likely. Also we should start talking about car pooling.
I'm going either Wednesday or Thursday from Hickory, NC. Anyone want to ride along?
Thanks,
John

John,
How long are you staying? ...and most important what all are you buying?
Do you have any hotel reservations?
I was planning on going, then had to change plans because of work, but that has now been delayed into Sept and I am free again...and I would love to go!

I just go my show credentials in the mail on Monday.  I will be driving done early Thursday morning and probably staying through some time on Saturday. I have reservations at the Holiday Inn which is within walking distance of the convention center. Phil, I'll be sure to stop by your booth to say hello.

Planning to attend IWF Thursday afternoon and Friday, heading back home Friday afternoon. Staying out by Perimeter Mall and doing the MARTA shuffle...drops you off at the GWCC for $2, free parking at the mall.
We should get together for dinner Thursday night.

Mark I'll be leaving earlier than that since I'm going down and back on the same day. Lots of driving, but oh well.

= 7.00 over 65 days | IWF Report
Marty Baucom (MLB3164) and I made it back from the IWF (International Woodworking Fair) in Atlanta early this morning after 2 packed days of all things woodworking.
Our trip down included a detour to Pumpkintown, SC (suburb of Pickens ) to visit Ed Morgano and Clearvue Cyclones. Here we got a detailed tour and demonstration of major suckage (through dryer vent hoses no less!) and learned all about his version of dust collection.
We arrived to the IWF and spent the afternoon hustling around Hall B visiting small equipment vendors. 
Got to see Amy Devers at the Festool booth (sorry no pics) and Norm at the Delta booth but did not wait in a looooog line to actually meet him. We connected with DL Ames and Phil Ashley for dinner after we called it a day. Note: the mild wings at Jocks and Jills are a shade hotter than mild!
Day 2 was spent in the large equipment halls and revisiting some of the selected smaller booths. We went by the Delta booth and got to have a ~5 minute visit with David Marks until we were interrupted by David Thiel and the Woodworker's Channel crew.  
David Marks is a very down to earth guy and super nice! Even laughed at my jokes!
Some of the cooler things I saw:
Composite staples and nails and special pneumatic guns for them. These can be sanded, cut, stained and matched to the wood.
Very unusual veneers from a Canadian company made out of scrap wood.
Hearne Hardwood's entire display.
New small belt sander from Porter Cable. One handed operation.
New 23g pin nailer from Grex that shoots 3/8"-1 3/4" pins.
New SawStop contractor's table saw.
Jet's copy/improvement of the Tormek sharpener.
Steel City Tools' entire line. Nice tweaks on every tool...especially the bandsaw.
Miter attachment with digital display and a magnetic attachment to adapt to a tablesaw blade for setting tilt angles. http://www.salazarsolutions.com/promiter.php
New clamp adapter from Bessey for straightening crooked decking boards/ wall studs.
Promise from Bosch that a 3HP plunge router w/above the table height adjustment is coming soon.
Highly recommend attending this event when it returns in 2008. Wear comfortable shoes.

New SawStop contractor's table saw. Now that's just cool, what do you think of it. Is it as well done as the their cabinet saw...and what's the cost????
Mark Thanks for the review, from things I've heard it was all CNC and high industry stuff. Not pretty girls, wood and hot dog nickers

Too bad you missed taking the pic of Amy -- too busy gawking, eh? Sorry I didn't make the trip, too -- from all the reports I've heard, it was a great show and I'll definitely make it next time... I'm intrigues by the ProMiter -- watched the video -- any price info on it?
Rob

Dave,
Sorry, no pricing info on the SawStop but it was very nice. Not able to hang out to talk to anyone...the booth looked like a hornet's nest under attack. More info here: http://www.sawstop.com/products-contractor-saw.htm
Rob,
I think the fellow said the ProMiter will be in the $250.00 range, it was loud in there. (Marty please correct me here if this is is wrong)
