Are we going to have the non rotateing surface interface class? I want to enter a palm air nailer. Unfortunately I no longer have the kirby, I took that joke about as far as it would go. Steam powered air grinders are where its at!

Hey howdy Jim. I got to thinking about this crazy event (Yet Again) then I got to thinking about this song called Eve of Destruction. It was pretty popular in S.F a few years back like in 1965 http://www.faraway-soclose.org/eod.html So I para phrazed it a bit in my little way. My apologies to P.F Sloan and Barry McGuire EVE OF CONSTRUCTION..... Team KISS The Eastern Bay It is a building Guys designing Women welding Your smart enough to build But not for gloating You dont believe in bolts But whats that tap your toting And even the Sacramento river has skill saws floating But you tell me over and over an over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Construction No one understands what your building today Your constanty told No it won't work that way. If the button is pushed on a bright sunny day We'll all run away Tighten bolts on your toy Then make fast your toy And you tell me over and over an over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Construction Yeah, my saw's so bad It needs voltage regulation Just welding here with argon inhalation I can't bend the Steel Without flame propagation Three anouncers provide my degragation Grinders alone Can't provide much excitation This whole crazy event defy's an explanation For those without a lot of imagination And you tell me over and over an over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Construction When you think of all the tools they build in China Then you scrounge around at rummage sales for the ultimate grinder When you stand around and chat at the Nimby Space Then you finnaly start to build at the Shipyard place The beating of the hammers At your Box Shop space You can modify your motors but don't burn a trace Mount your high speed router but don't for get your chain space But you Tell Me Over and over and over again my friend You don't believe were on the Eve of construction No, no, you don't believe were on the Eve of construction

Ace International Speedway. ok, well, not quite. that's likely in june. only a few months away. so consider getting ready to think about the plan for figuring out how to start your engines. racing is just around the corner. in the meantime, we are going to have some tables at the fabulous upcoming Maker's Faire to display and pit race our Power Tool curiosities. no track. just static display. too many people for flying saws and fire extinguishers. machines and makers are needed for display and talking at the event. thus we invite you to join us with your creations. any past (or future) racers interested in showing their machines and self are encouraged to write me and say as much. i'll add you to the list. as of today, it is just me. which is a little bit lonely. but surely there will be more soon. maybe we'll bring the edsel and display all machines across the hood, roof and trunk. the event is the weekend of april 22/23 at the san mateo county fairgrounds. we are likely going to display in the larger arena of simone and dave's robogames area. more info on the maker's faire is here: http://www.makezine.com/faire/ more info on the power tool drag races can be found here: http://www.powertooldragraces.com/ and here's a short blurb. j ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Maker faire will be held the weekend of April 22nd/23rd at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds.
