My suitcase has been found, so at least I won't need to make a new manifold.  Apparently its presence in the suitcase caused the xray to trigger "further screening".  Of course, you'd think that my being there 2 hours before takeoff would  have been enough time.  Should be delivered in a couple of hours.
At least they only strip searched you suitcase and not you!!

Kvom told me you can't have to many vises, so...
A 4" Wilton bullet made its way into the car.



Also got some NOS Grobet files for Oliver. First time I've seen a good selection of die filer files. Got some half-rounds in various radii and a thin knife-edge.

Nice looking vise Stan! are you going to tear it down and give it a proper restoration? There should be a date stamped on the key  if you are interested in when it was made.

Frigging TSA took the little soldering torch I bought at the show.  It was in a new unopened box with no fuel, hardly a flight risk.  $68 down the tubes.

I've written to the TSA to complain but that will due fk all I'm sure.   >:(

Can you put in an insurance claim on the opened luggage? I assume there is no note inside saying TSA actually took the item.

Excellent photos and videos!  :ThumbsUp: There's a whole world of model machining out there that I'm just now starting to become aware of.

Hi,
Just got back from NAMES and had enough time to get to Gerrit's photos and realize it's bedtime. We took the scenic route home stopping at the Gilmore car museum, and the Indiana Dunes on the way home to Wisconsin. This is the first time I went online all weekend. Stan, thanks for the great slide show and conversation at the show. Gerrit I think I missed you or didn't know you were a MEM member, I ran out of gas tonight, and will pick up at your photos tomorrow. I took a lot of photos Sunday before the hordes got in the door and will post them after I have a chance to sort through them. Steve the Piquette St. plant & museum is open Wed - Sunday. Maybe next year.

After a seeming battle royal with our internet (the wifi servers battery has reached the end of it's life and we need to actually be home to get it repaired) and photobucket. I did get a slideshow put together.

If everything works right I should have a nice slideshow here.
