Title: Florida Flywheelers January Antique Engine & Tractor Show
Post by: mikeswrenches on January 10, 2017, 08:46:58 AM

The show begins this year on Wednesday January 18th and runs thru Saturday. The weather looks to be outstanding...unlike last year.

Remember to bring your most comfortable walking shoes, it's a big place. Golf carts are allowed if you happen to have one.

Hope to see you there.

Mike

Lou, advise your BIL to look for Mikeswrenches. He is usually at the end of  a row, look for a very nice clean tool display, that will be him.

Hi all, sorry for the late replies. We got home today about noon after having been there since the 14th. There is no wifi and cell service is sort of good if you have Verizon, and about worthless for the rest.

Brian, it was good to see you again, thanks for answering Lou's question.

Kwoswalt99, yes I had 7 vises between 3 and 5 inches. Will probably have them or some different ones at the February show.

As I mentioned in an earlier post we were supposed to have great weather and it was. The whole week was perfect...unlike last year.

Mike
