My wife's work schedule has changed, so she will now be going with me. She likes sleeping late when she can and I don't think the show would be her cup of tea, so I am planning to go to the show on Saturday morning and I doubt that I will stay all day, it just isn't that large a show. That's okay though, as she and I can go out into the Hills that afternoon and enjoy a little before coming home on Sunday.

I will make a point of taking lots of photos!

Wish I was closer, I would come and enjoy.

The approximate address of the Central States Fairgrounds, if anyone needs it, is 701 South LaCrosse Street in Rapid City. Free parking right across the street.

Coming up in just a few weeks is the Black Hills Model Engineering Expo, being held September 27th and 28th in Rapid City, South Dakota. This show has always been held in the Fine Arts Building at the Central States Fairgrounds.

Setup for vendors and display participants is on Friday, open to the public on Saturday and Sunday.

My wife has to work that weekend, so I plan to drive out on Friday and visit with a niece that lives out there, then attend the show on Saturday and come home on Sunday.

The Black Hills should be quite beautiful with fall colors by then, or so I would think. I am going to leave at 4 AM on Friday so I have time to hit a few of the nice roads out there before dark. If I get really lucky, and the weather cooperates, I might even be able to take the bike instead of the car. Triple win!!

Just got back from vacation, and I have to agree with Ken, you have some SB stuff there in nice condition! 

Never tried to knurl Delrin. I bet a cut type knurling tool would be no problem doing so. 

Just looking at the stuff in the mike crates, that's a nice lathe! You have the milling attachment, too.

Was not a very good pic. Let me try that again. Never said I was any good, especially at taking pictures, LOL.

Sorry, been very busy with just day to day. Like, I broke a BIG double pane window shooting a rock at it with a weed eater...SH**.

So what might some of those items be? I don't have a South Bend, but there are some items that interchange very well between South Bends and Logans. With that thought in mind, one never knows what I might nibble on.
