Creeker visit Tejas style!

[John Keeton]

Of course here in KY we have a different definition for a roughneck!! But, looks like you all will may be guilty only of glutiny - a minor offense!

Sounds like you all had a great time. Just wish there was such a gathering in this part of the country. Would love to spend some time with other creekers, particularly while touring a Rockler store!!

Ken, hope you like your tenoning jig. I had a Delta which I dug out the other day to make sure it worked on my Grizzly 1023 - it doesn't!! The miter slot is further from the blade than the jig can extend.

John, I haven't looked at a Delta jig to know, but can the runner be taken off and reassembled where it will work, or possibly allow the jig to mount to piece of MDF with a new runner for the slot? I would have thought that the 1023 would have a miter slot that was roughly the same distance from the blade as the other table saws. Is that not the case? Might make me rethink what unit I get if I end up buying new. Jim.

Jim, the supplemental sled/runner idea may work. My previous saw was an AMT, about 20 years old, and I hadn't used the tenoning jig in awhile. Recently got new tools, DC system, etc., and I've been in clean up mode for a few weeks when I have time. I pulled out the jig, and admittedly didn't spend much time with it, but it doesn't look like it will work, but I may give it another look with your ideas in mind. Thanks!!

Ken, Jim, Martin, and Bill, I agree, I believe we all had a really good time. It was great to get to meet and visit with everyone. I thought maybe the Spring Creek and Rockler folks were going to start charging us rent.

I don't know about the camera problems. Next time, we need to take the pictures before we eat.

[Jim O'Dell]

Mike, hope you were able to lay sod after that feast!! Jim.

[Mike Forsman]

Nope, I put the sod down the night before. I knew that I wouldn't have time on Saturday.

[Jim O'Dell]

Good move, and better thinking!! Jim.
