    This is basically the "comicon" of diy electronics. There is some really neat stuff here to see. Hope to see some of you there.

    If it is there again this year check out Project Rustbelt, the absolutely best DIY CNC router table that I have ever seen.

    Looks like an interesting show. I got a coupon from groupon or I wouldn't have even noticed.

    Time keeps me from attending a lot of trade shows. Plus it seems they usually fall right at the beginning of the month. My biggest account makes all their decisions based on the 1st of the month. You may be familiar....... Wait till budget hits then they want it done yesterday but then it's invoice plus 30 to get paid lol. They don't do draws unless it's a huge job. It's ok though I look at it like job security, because a lot of guys can't wait to get paid. I believe they are called labor.;) But needless to say I'll be scheduling around this show.
