Re: [GrizHFMinimill] Cabin Fever Expo

Hi Charlie:

Thanks for telling us about Hobby Metal Kits. I have never heard of them before, but I will definitely be ordering from them.

Awesome list of products.

Hi, All,

I attended Cabin Fever Expo in Lebanon, PA yesterday. 
It was a great show, with a lot of machine tools and
accessories for
sale and on display.  The wide variety of steam engines
and steam-driven
trains, boats, earth-moving equipment, trucks, etc. was
amazing!  There
was a huge pool (maybe 100 x 40 feet?) set up for the boats
to operate
in, and a mountain of dirt for the earth-moving equipment to
shift
around.

Little Machine Shop had a huge booth and had a good
inventory on-hand for sale.  I bought several 0xA tool
holders for my
QCTP, while my friend spent a lot of time looking at their
new model
5500 Hi Torque Bench Mill.  It was a pleasure to meet
Chris Wood, and he
answered numerous questions for us.

I also found a new, low-cost metal
source. 
Hobby Metal Kits (www.hobbymetalkits.com) supplies standard
length (12
inch) pieces of brass, steel, aluminum, etc. at what I
thought were very
reasonable prices, significantly less than what I could
find elsewhere online. 
I bought about $40 worth of stock while I was there. 
They are my new
go-to metal source.  (FYI, I have no connection with
them and saw them
for the first time yesterday.)
It was a great show and I would
encourage anyone who can to attend future
expos!
