The Abom79 Podcast

Season 2, Episode 3: The Abom79 Podcast. Bit different format this time since the hurricane kept us from the shop. We discuss the hurricane cleanup, our visit to Hurco (Milltronics) on our way to IMTS Chicago and other roadtrip activities. We give our final thoughts on the IMTS show, including our meet ups with our viewers and friends. Lots of cool things to share on our visit to Industrial Artifacts in Dekalb, IL and Ingersoll Cutting Tools in Rockford. We enjoyed making this one, so thanks for watching.
