Geno, I am sure that Kenny will let you go over to his shop and help him set up all the tools; it should take him the better part of a week to do it by himself. :biglaugh:
I should know enough by now not to get so freaked at a thread title on PowWow... :scared: :scared: :scared:
Kenny that place is huge, You better call the bank and put a limit on the credit card ;)
Tracy

Curtis,got two guys for backup to keep me under control,prolly oughta have my banker go,hmmmmmm........
I was at the Grizzly store this past weekend. It is a great place to buy tools for a good price. The gun shop I work for has bought a ton of matal working tools from there including 3 new lathes recently.
Tracy,I was thinkin call and take the limit off!LOL
Travis,did ya go on SAT? The catalog says they are open,I'd hate to drive 200 mi and find out different!
There's nothing like Grizzly (Toys R Us for tinkerers), a road trip and friends. Stop and hunt some bunnies on the way back and your day will be perfect! :bigsmyl:

Should be ready to go full bore next weekend,tighter tolerances,less dust inhaled and just more effecient!! :thumbsup:
Kenny,
I went to a Grizzly store in PA to buy a bandsaw on sale. I picked up the 14" ultimate badn saw with the riser block and it's been great for making duck decoys.
I also ended up spending another $500 bucks on stuff I just had to have.
I had a little bit of an issue with them being importers but I've been happy with the quality.
Yeah JD,I'm not crazy about buying imported stuff either,but seems like everything is built overseas now. A lot of old names are importing,seems to be the way its gonna be!
As far as quality,my first impression is its good stuff,we'll see in a year or so.
I would be in real trouble if I had a half day to stay in the store!! :help:
