Shop is all cleaned up and ready for the invasion. I have some wood, I have drinks in the cooler(bring your own beer) and the wife is making a taco dip ,yum. This will be great.

Cool...

I'm psyched! Smokey and I will be there. We're all set for jig making and tying.

Saltheart, I have Siwash hooks and bucktails but no thread, maybe you can show me the finer points to tying a trailer hook or 2. :)

Got the lathe apart and the tools i need ready to go. Just waiting for my helper to arrive and help me throw the bench in the van.

got wood for a few plugs as well.......

Also have some 95.5% tin 4% copper 1/2% silver for people who might be looking for tin (melting 440 to 500F)

Fishpart, I have benches and sawhorses if you don't want to have to bother bringing a bench, really, it's not that nessasary unless you need a specific height.

I'm so excited I'm up at 4 a.m.! I'm hitting the woods with Specialist and will be heading over after chasing Bambi around. Got some wood, lead and jig molds. Later

Plastic is ready to roll, even picked up a new dual burner hot plate at wallyworld, so as to not stink up the place. My old ones were pretty nasty anyway and the control on the new one seems to work much better.

Sorry I am gonna be a no show. We are still on the road, woke up in NJ this AM, and still have a couple more jobs to complete before we head north. Looking forward to some photos and especially the stories..... Ross
