>Over Easter weekend will be visiting the in-laws in Branson, MS. (Stop snickering!!) Won't be able to smoke, cuss or drink, so I might as well hunt rust. Any suggestions?

>Branson Missouri (MO) or Branson, Mississippi (MS)?

Get to Grizzly about sixty miles to the north in Springfield if you are talking MO.

>Yep, Grizzly should entertain you for awhile, not any real rust there though, just new machinery and they do keep it shined up real pretty. Grizzly and Springfield is 40 miles north of Branson. How do I know, I live here. :)

If you get really desperate there is also a Harbor Freight store in Springfield too, not too far from Grizzly.

>We found a few antique stores in "old" Branson. These were a block or two west of the Branson train station. There were a few tools in the one big store. I found a neat tool handle that appeared to have most of the tools still in the handle. Still lots more to explore down there on next trip. There's a few 'tique stores on Highway 13, between West Branson and Springfield. I think this route will also take you through Springfield and past Grizzly.

Visit Grizzly if you have a chance. Even my wife was impressed. I think that had one of each machine on the showroom floor. Not much hand tool content there in a sea of green electron users. Store also has display of custom furniture and other wood goodies.
