Atlanta Woodworking Show and Free Cut Coins


hotshot

Recommended Posts

Heading down to the Atlanta for the Woodworking show.  If you approach me there on Saturday, I'll give you a Kanji scroll saw cut coin, unless I run out.

Hope you figure out on how to miss the traffic. You do know about the bridge on I85 being burnt out? I bet it will make traffic bad all over Atlanta but I don't know that for sure. Good luck.

Can you come back on Sunday too ;)

 

Saturdays are always hectic at the show.

 

Bridge collapse on I-85 should not impact you too much until you approach I-75/285 where the Cobb galleria is located.

 

Check out the Gwinnett Woodworkers display. I'm told a new Seyco scrollsaw will be there to view.

I had considered it - thought it would be great to meet Steve Good, and now you and some others who had noted going BUT decided while I am a lot closer then many of you here - 3-4 hour trip one way couldn't be done this weekend.  Was really glad when I saw the fire that took out part of I-85 in Atlanta.  That is going to be a headache there for a while I am afraid. Will definitely be going the alternate route through Carolina to get my son from Athens at the end of the semester! Hope you all enjoy the show. Be sure to share who you meet and show some pictures!

The Woodworking show keeps getting smaller and smaller every year.

Picked up a  couple pieces of exotic wood for my puzzles plus some clamps and glue brushes.

Might go back again in a couple years.

 

Show was at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta. Signage was nonexistent. Saw some folks outside a building and asked if we were in the right place. Bingo. parking was awful. When we left at 12:30 folks were circling the parking lot looking for a space.

 

Talked with Steve Good about the new Seyco srollsaw which he was demonstrating. Nice guy. Hard to keep up a conversation with him as folks came by and wanted their picture taken with him.

 

I liked the new Seyco saw and offered to buy the one he had there. No dice. He said they might be available next month; awaiting the boat from Taiwan. Not taking orders either. He didn't know if Woodcraft or Rockler would carry the saw. maybe in time. Said he thought there would be a 2 yr warranty.

 

I asked him about price and he said under a grand. I then said why should I buy the Seyco saw vs the DeWalt at much less $$.. He said durability! If you need a production scrollsaw (like I do) then he said the Seyco would hold up  better.

 

When my current DeWalt craps out I will definitely consider the new Seyco saw. I like it better than the new Jet saw. Blade changing is better on the Seyco saw.

 

Traffic wasn't bad at all. Location was at I-285/I-75/Cobb parkway.  near the new Braves stadium. The I-85 bridge disaster was not a factor.

Melanie just testing the shoes out be there soon. :lol:  :lol: Roly

 

 

Good to see Roly.  I'll keep an eye out for you and say some prayers that you have good weather and little waves.  Might want to grab a tow behind a big boat for most of the trip though.  ;)  :lol:

 

Thanks Brian/Orangeman for giving us some info on the show and seeing the new Seyco saw in person.  Glad you got a few minutes to chat with Steve Good.

I forgot to add this re the I-85 bridge disaster in Atlanta on Friday.

 

If anyone has been following the I-85 bridge disaster in Atlanta  then you know I-85 is shut down completely in Atlanta - both north bound and south bound lanes. Some homeless person set fire to a chair on top of a shopping cart to smoke crack. The fire spread to PVC pipe nearby and the fire was so intense that it weakened the steel and concrete on the I-85 bridge and the northbound section collapsed completely while the southbound part was seriously damaged. GA State patrol did an excellent job in keeping folks off the bridge before collapse. Now the GA DOT is covering their ass by saying there were "non-combustible" materials stored under the bridge that caught fire. Can you believe that? And our wonderful local media just prints what they say without question. The GA DOT needs to take some remedial middle school science classes! Unbelievable. Everyone I know is laughing at the GA DOT for such a ridiculous statement.

Remember what Mark Twain said: if you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed; If you read the newspaper, you are misinformed. How true today re the media.
