Re: Machinist Swaps

If they have anything in Tulsa, I'd be willing to drive there. ;)? Here lately, though, I've not been going much of anywhere except doctor's appointments. My brother moved to a small town in SW Missouri over a year ago, and I've not been able to go see his new place, yet.? Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.? SEMPER GUMBY! Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better. Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

I drive up to Peoria for the Hamfest, but that's just too far.
You might talk me into going as far as Tulsa in the SW direction, but only if Bill in OKC would be there! :) Anybody know of anything closer to STL? Allen Underdown
allen@... Sent from my mobile device. Jun 29, 2023 12:05:17 PM Chipbreaker13 <john.lillig@...>: I went to ArnFest last year. Its promoted as an Annual celebration of vintage machinery. There were ~30-40 sellers set up to sell there stuff on Saturday for the swap meet. Not all machinist related but enough for me to be happy. It took me less than an hour to see the whole swap meet. I sold some stuff and Mr. Pete was selling there next to me. I bought a chunk of aluminum from him. The swap meet was in Union, IL in the Illinois Railway Museum parking lot. This is a multiday event with lots of activities. You can google "ArnFest Illinois" and find their web site for further details. This years ArnFest is Sep 21-24. |
Bill in OKC too
