Hey guys I wanted to let you know Scott Smith had a fire in his shop - it's a total loss - but the plus is NO ONE WAS HURT. He sent me an email with pictures and captions - for some reason I can not get them downloaded to my computer to post here.
Scott - if there is anything, I mean anything I can do for please let me know.

That is terrible to hear. I am very glad Scott is okay. If you read this Scott and need any help over the next few evenings and weekend, don't hesitate to holler.

All - thanks for the kind words. Right now I'm just kinda numb...
Here are some photos... 
Can you find the Harley? Hint - it's right behind $8,000.00 of melted Festool's...  
This photo includes a melted belt sander (in the foreground), tablesaw, shaper, and large cast iron RAS, in addition to a melted DeWalt scrollsaw that came from Travis and Jeremy. 
The planer is on the right, and a Festool MFT is on the left. The motorcycle in the middle is/was my wife's Yamaha.    | |

I heard the same and wondered why he hadn't posted it here  The pictures were spectacularly horrible. I am having the same prob as Jeff with downloading them. Basically the roof and attic over the shop caught fire. The Fire Dept's efforts, and the collapse of the upper areas is really what got his shop and equipment. He said the gun safe was going off like a popcorn machine.
Everybody is OK, but the 16" jointer ain't looking so good 
Scott you know that we are all there for you and your family if you need anything...except a 16" jointer (few of us are tooled that well  ).
God bless you and may everything go smoothly with the restoration.
Dave

Scott, I am on-call the week of July 4, August 16, & Sept 27. Except for those weeks, I a can give you a weekend (perhaps a 3-day weekend) of free liftin'-n-totin' most any week.
If you need something from this area, I can bring it down (if it fits in a Nissan Frontier).
