The Southside crawl was a TON of fun. Lots of good shops to see, lots of fellow woodworkers to talk shop. Once again, we saw every kind of shop: Garage, basement, industrial, craftsman, large, small - and everyone with something unique.
Many, many thanks to the hosts, especially Scott Smith for an awesome saw mill demonstration. That is NOT easy work.
And thanks to Doug for setting this up.
Pictures? Yeah, I got your pictures right here.

I'll echo Bas's setiment and add my own!
What a fun day! Seeing all the shops, meeting all the fellow woodworkers and eating way too much dessert at the Corral!
Hats off to Doug for putting together something that helps make this site such a special place.
Thanks to all the Shop Hosts. I commend you each for the superlative job of cleaning up and showing us what you've got going on. My head is swimming with new toys and projects.
This is my second crawl, and it never ceases to amaze me how clever and unique each of us is.
Thanks,
Jim

Wow that was my first experience with a Shop Crawl and it was awesome. Very well organized, everybody progressed to the shops without getting lost. Except we lost Trent and his lovely girlfriend somewhere along the way  Lunch worked out great even though it was at GC...  I got a full belly fast 
I learned something at every shop that will make my woodworking better.
I know what my dreams will be about tonight...a hybrid shop. I would like to take GeorgeL's shiny, huge machinery, place it in JimmyC's awesome huge shop space. Accessories it with all the jigs and innovative features found in Bladeburner's and Dan Bowman's shops. Drop it all on my secluded, hard to find back 3 acres...with my beer fridge. And have Scott's swing mill and kiln parked out behind it all. That would be sweet

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Dave, Dave, wake up you are dreaming  . I had a great time meeting the members that I hadn't met and talking with the ones I already have met. Thanks Doug and all of the hosts for a great day. Also thanks Pete, Jeremy, And Mike for allowing me to tag along with the Charlotte crew. Oh and I forgot to mention, The noise Bas made when my beverage dripped condensate on DaveO's table saw. Priceless!!!!

Bas- Great pictures !
I would like to thank everybody for a great day, once again it was great to meet a bunch of you.
Doug - Great job bother, you pulled it off again !
One of the main things missing from my shop is a bathroom mirror, now if I can only talk GeorgeL out of his tablesaw top, and figure a way to mount it, I'll be all set .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") .

My 1st crawl and had a wonderful time. A big thanks to Doug for the organization, to all that opened their shops for us all to get more ideas and to Rob for the cards. I have pics and will load later.
I realized on the way home that I live no more than 15 miles from every single persons shop on the crawl. I didn't realize that before. Now I know where all the big equipment is that I don't have room for and if I need a jig, bladeburner is about 2 miles away.
Had a great time getting to know a few new people and catching up with others.

Great crawl, Folks!!!!
Scott's sawmill demonstration was awesome, but I still can't figure out how one wouldn't get hurt with that big spinning blade in front of me, unguarded and and barely inches from my thigh???!!! 
All of the hosts certainly provided more entertainment than one day could provide. A various gracious bunch to allow this pack onto their property!! .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")
I have to admit that the LOML asked what the drool all over my shirt was all about!!!  and more beautiful 's.
Thanks also to Doug who succeeded again in keeping us all on track and the great coordination!
Thanks all!
Wayne

I too had a lot of fun, even though I was not able to join the rest of the crawl.
Many, many thanks to Dave and Tom for off-bearing - that helped to speed up the demo considerably.
My only regret is that there was not time for me to visit with everybody that attended; it's the people that make this site so great (although the cool tools and equipment are a not-to-distant second...).
I meant to offer the oak that we milled to anybody that wanted to take it. George grabbed one board for his son's school project, but there were a couple of 1 x 5's that had some nice spalting in places...
When I'm ready to mill some of the "big boys" that were near the sawmill, I'll be sure to let y'all know in case any volunteers want to come out and offload! Let's see... an 8/4, 20" wide board from that 20' red oak log will only weigh around 350 lbs... maybe I can entice Dozer to come out - that way I wouldn't need anybody else's help!
Scott
PS for Wayne... regarding "Scott's sawmill demonstration was awesome, but I still can't figure out how one wouldn't get hurt with that big spinning blade in front of me, unguarded and and barely inches from my thigh???!!! "
I'll be that there are more inches of separation between my body and the blade on the sawmill, then there are between your fingers and your tablesaw/bandsaw blade... Seriously, I removed the blade guard before the demo so that I could doublecut some wide boards. Unfortunately we didn't get far enough into the log to do anything really wide.
