[billp]

We'll be holding another Camp Shopbot in Minnesota on Sat. Oct 16th.Our host again will be Glen Kadelbach, of Innovative Foam, in Hutchinson, MN
( www.innovativefoam.com (http://www.innovativefoam.com/) ).
Here are directions to his shop, and a hotel recommendation for anyone from outside the immediate area;

"Here are the directions to my shop/farm:
From the Twin Cities take HWY 7 out to Hutchinson.
At the second stoplight, HWY 7 and HWY15 intersection, turn right, north, and go out about a mile to the Roundabout.
Go West on CO RD 12 about 2.2 miles to 210th St and turn left, west.
On 210th St go 4/10 of a mile to fire number 20364 and turn right, north.
Fairly easy to find. My shop number is 320-310-0879."

Bill,
You can count me in. I attended last year before I had purchased my Shopbot. Now, I'm sure to understand a lot more what you talking about.

what time does the camp start. I have about a five hour drive to get there. Dan Nelson

Dan,
We usually have an 8-9AM "coffee session" which is a chance for some people to meet one another, while others are still looking for the place...
We'll run until 4-5 Pm with a pizza lunch mid way in the day...

[dan_nelson]

Looks like me and da wife are coming.

[billp]

Great, and thanks for the RSVP. I'm hoping everyone who plans to attend will let us know in the next week or so...

[billp]

If you have not yet contacted either Glen or myself about your plans to attend this Camp, please do so ASAP so we can get a real head count for planning purposes. Thanks !

See you Saturday.

[billp]

Great,
And by the way thanks for reinforcing our thoughts on the magnesium cutting mentioned elsewhere on the Forum !

Glen mentioned to me that he will be running his indexer to show how it works .
Also for those of you that are comming from HWY 15 look for a white foam hand with SHOPBOT on it to point you to the turn off of the county road and down the long driveway where the shop is .
We hope a lot of you will show up.

Bill , are you bringing a TYRO to the camp?.:)
I think that would look good sitting on Glen's big PRS alpha .:)

[billp]

Stephan,
Sorry, but the new "Desktop 2418" is still a little too large to carry on the plane. I agree that it would look GREAT on Glen ( or anyone's) full sized machine, and I think when people get a chance to SEE one in action there's going to be more than a few current owners who will want to add one to their "arsenal".
Thanks for the directional aids, although Glen's place was pretty easy to find last year. For those of you planning to attend, please drop me a note....
