so, if I may add or reply to the header at the very top of this thread, I wasnt sure what to expect as far as being a host, or what efforts to put into a meet & greet, there's only 1 way to find out!
@Susquatch,
@CWret and
@Martin w came for a preliminary tour 2 wks prior to scope the joint and give input, which was a huge help, thanks guys, from there I just cleaned up the place (glad I did so there was room inside for all, ended up not raining, but it was too cool for hanging outdoors) rented a porta jon, talked my daughter into making sandwiches (and she jumped at the chance for making a couple "gluten free" sandwiches, which I hear were worth the effort!) and put on my best behavior!! I had a great time meeting everyone, but the time was too short for satisfactory meet with everyone! so that being said, I would recommend anyone with the facility to give it a go, my shop is 1500 sq ft, with 12' ceilings, and an acre for parking, so that worked awesome, was sure delighted to see Wise Line Tools come bearings gifts for the door prizes and bonus $50 gift card, and my Cousin Scott for his talk on CNC, and that telescope mount, that was real intriguing! Glad everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and there very little clean up this morning! recommend it!! on that note, I have extra "tools" posters I had customized with the forum logo in the header, if anyone wants one, I'm sure we can figure out a way to get them out to You!
