Is that anywhere near the train station? I think I use to see that building when I took the commuter rail to Cambridge. If so, it use to be a machine shop, I think. I guess a razor machine shop

No, really, I swear, I was there to go to work. NO, not that, working in Cambridge. Ah sheesh. I better quit now...........

Actually it's not near the train station. I know the
building you're talking about though, right behind
Union Station.

Here are the driving directions to the meeting at
American Legion Post 92 69 Worcester Street
Grafton, MA. These directions are from the Mass
Pike. If you're coming from elsewhere let me
know and I can try to get you directions.

Take Exit 11 from either direction on the Pike.
The signs should read for Worcester and Millbury
and probably say something about Route 122.
At the end of the exit go right onto 122 South.
The Post will be exactly 3 miles from this point.
You basically want to follow the signs for 122 South.
At one point 122 South and 140 South merge together. Continue
to follow this route. About 2.6 miles into the ride
you'll see that the area becomes commercialized
with a supermarket (Stop & Shop I think) gas stations,
Burger King a lumberyard, etc. After the Dunkin' Donuts
on the left you'll see where 122 South veers off to
the right by a traffic signal. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ROUTE.
You want to go straight on 140 South instead, towards
Grafton Center. After going through the traffic signal where
this veering off occured, the Post will be about 200 feet on
the left hand side.

My cell phone number, should you get lost or need it otherwise,
is 508.335.5378. The Post's number is 508.839.4169. Again,
if you're coming from somewhere other than the Boston area,
which I believe a few of us are, let me know and I'll try to get
you directions. Thanks.

From Providence, RI? How about that! lol

I was thinking of you when I posted about others
coming from different areas. Would you be
hitting 146 at all? Let me know.

John

I'll be bringing stones, lapping tools, razors, etc. including some honing stuff not usually seen on the site.

John, can you give me a call? 508=-842-7132

Howard

Count me in guys.
I'll bring some of my knives to show off. and plenty of questions.

Beats me man. lol I am not originally from here and have only lived in RI for a few months really. Don't worry though, I can get directions easily. That's what the internet is for.

P.S.- I'll bring my belt sander, shop vac, wood, stuff, etc. for showing how I do scales if anyone is interested. I'll probably also bring some problem razors to see if anyone has ideas about how to fix them up. I encourage others to do the same.

Howard, bring a Norton 4K/8K with my name on it, it's sold the second I walk through the door!

Looking forward to this one, see y'all in a few days.

FWIW, I'm going to snag some labels for name tags. If any of you are anything like me, they'll help tremendously. (I think I'll be pretty easy to spot- my beard and all, but I'm terrible with names!)

Looking forward to this!
