PC Dovetail jig and rambling

I'm planning on going to St. Louis thursday to Woodcraft to pick up the 12" Porter Cable dovetail jig & the brass bushings for PC router. Sure would like the Leigh but oh well. I have a VA dovetail jig I got about a year ago and it is a joke. I sold my old Craftsman router & table today, so plan on building a router table soon. Until I can afford the PC 7518 I believe is the number I'll be putting the Bosch 1617EVS in it. I picked up a PC 9690LR last week at lowes and plan on using it for freehand work and dovetails. I see Rockler has a new store up there also, might (if SWMBO) lets me swing by there & check it out. Also have to make a swing by White Castle and get some slidders. hmmm This past weekend I started building seperate cabinets for the benchtop bandsaw and drill press but it was just to hot to stay out in the shop much more then a hour. Here in S.E. Mo. the heat and humidity have been horrible. Be glad when it cools off. After working out in the heat all day (tech at a auto dealership) just don't have enough left to piddle in the shop in the evenings. I guess enough rambling for now, everyone have a great day tomorrow.

Before you get it at Woodcraft, be sure to give Hydraflow Equipment (Breckenridge Industrial Drive)

a call for prices. They're usually cheaper on everything. There's also a White Castle on Big Bend Blvd. not to far from Hydraflow. If you want something really good, go about 2 miles west on Manchester and eat at the Trainwreck Saloon. AWESOME hamburgers and good wings. Then you can get a sack of sliders for the ride home.

Woodcraft is nice for looking and finding specialized stuff (sharpening, carving, etc.) but pricewise for big name tools, I've had better luck at Hydraflow but call first for prices.

BTW, how much is 4/4 walnut gonig for down your way?
