    Must see if Texas

    Hello
    I am headed to Dallas in the morning and onto Lubbock Wednesday night. Are there any must visit wood workers' stores or machinery dealers that a hobbyist just can not miss?
    Thanks

    I don't know about Dallas, but member Tyler Wood lives near Lubbock and works there, and he will know about all the neat places. Just PM him and I'm sure he'll have a list for you.

    And have a good trip.

Have a great trip. Great people and very friendly.

    Joe, a visit to Dallas would not be complete without a stop at Dowd's Old Tools.

    http://www.dowdstools.com/ Tracy and Lynn are fun, warm people and very knowledgable about old tools. And they usually two or three examples of most of them!

    Enjoy the visit. Tom, in Houston, but lived in Dallas for 30 years.

    Thanks folks

    I will be Texas on business. The company that allows me to visit all these neat places manufactures irrigation products used in the ag and the golf world.
    Great opportunity to meet people and see the world but sure cuts into your down time with the spouse and the toys, I mean tools.
    Thanks...joe K
