| Where do I start? We (and many others no doubt) had an
8:20 am out of DFW to Richmond and at about 7:30 am they cancelled. We
had upgrades so it would have been awesome. Go put on a 2:30PM that left
at 3:45pm, go into the hotel around 9pm. Could not setup until the next
morning and (not) surprisingly enough, we were informed we couldn't get
in to setup until 7:50am (literature said 7am). Anyway, some cool new
stuff, some bowl lathes some awesome wood, saw Johannes demo a full size
hat and a small hat on the vendor floor, Stuart Batty cranked some stuff
out demoing. All in all a good first day.
Went to the Capital Bar, saw Chris and had a few great beers and a sandwich, now a good nights rest. Ed Davidson has some great snaps from the show http://www.aawforum.org/vbforum/showthread.php?t=4945 RECAP Saw several new gadgets and gizmos on the floor New sharpening system by the makers of Stickfast glue and Hold Fast vacuum chucking products http://www.techmarketinginc.net/SharpFast%20Flyer.pdf New lathes from Robust - Sweet 16 - Short bed with pull out bed gap, looks real nice - 1.5HP Serious is ready to ship their player in the high end, large lathe market Newcomer to the high end lathe market, EBO (Bowl Elephant) were showing an interesting pedestal lathe that will convert from a bowl lathe to a long bed .
