| Wife and I went up to Greensboro to look at motorcycles. After we didn't find much we went to Woodworkers Supply in Graham. What a neat store, and the people were great. Fellow wood workers. Had a salesman explain the different drawer slides, even though I told him I wasn't ready to purchase yet, my project wasn't off the ground. He explained what I would need to do to my project to use the slides I chose. Nice guy, wish I could remember his name. I came away cheap, a 3" aluminum face plate for my lathe.
Afterwards we headed to Hillsborough for Hog day. I was on chat with WoodArtz (Bob) that morning and he told me about it. We looked at the crafts, one turner selling pens and such but he wasn't in the mood to chat, ate some good food, then headed over to Bob's. It was great meeting him and his wife, the wives hung out in one corner of the shop chatting and Bob and I talked turning and such for a couple hours. Had a great time, and learned a thing or two.
Took old 86 highway back towards home, fun road in the Miata, nice and curvy, only thing could have been better was no rain so the top could have been down, or on a motorcycle.
Course I didn't get anything done in the shop, so I'll be down there all day today.
Bob, Did you get the shop cleaned up? Thanks for the hospitality. You guys will have to come down and visit the dome.
