Joe Gerads has owned a shop for 25 years, mostly doing short-run production and taking on odd jobs that others typically shy away from. He uses his two PCNC 1100s (Megan I and Megan II) to work on everything from building high-end furniture out of exotic woods to farm equipment repairs to developing custom components for his mills.

Last Saturday, we hosted our second annual open house, and it was a smashing success. Over 200 guests stopped by to see an array of seminars, meet John Grimsmo and John Saunders, and buy a few goodies in our credit-and-carry sale.
