Thats me flanked by two of my woodworking heroes...Paul Anthony (left) and Roland Johnson. Total gentlemen, couldn't say enough good things about this interaction. Roland literally jumped at the opportunity to answer my rambling questions and was happy to join in on the photo op. I spoke to Paul about some of my amatuer woodworking habits and let me say this....this guy is extremely intelligent and was able to steer me in the right direction about a few things. Roland, has a very unique demeanor so far as to say he seemed like he was ready for a blast of new ideas and geared up to embrace something out of this world. I can only imagine how repetitive things get during these shows and when the "Know it alls" are abound it can make matters all the more trying. I felt a kin ship towards this guy when he went on to explain his method of taking a good scraper to a Turning project (as workpiece spins on a lathe...) He made the editorial delightfully rebellious by adding "if you really want to F*** with the elite (The Turners), go over to the lathe with a scraper and watch their heads explode and listen to how they tell you ...you can't do that??!! He made it clear to the audience "you can do anything you want! Always try new ideas!" best thing I'd heard the entire show.....Necessary, encouragement from a true inspiration....he also let the crowd play around with his plane collection he had with him.
Check my other pics for a shot of them....

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
