Concord Carpenter Workshop News

Hi Guys,

We did not send out a newsletter because we were attending the Diablo Media event held at the STAFDA trade show in North Carolina.

I flew down a day early, rented a car and drove to Elon University to meet my son Ryan for the day.   It was a fun, spontaneous trip and I'm glad I made the detour!

STAFDA was enlightening as usual.  I liked the Charlotte, NC location over Vegas. 

While at the Diablo media event we were impressed with the new carbide reciprocating blades Diablo is offering.  Watch for some reviews soon and maybe even a H2H test!

We posted a slew of photos live from the event via Concord Carpenter's Face book page.   You can check out moreo photos on  ToolBoxBuzz Face Book page .
