BTW, the orange sunburst thing is called 'The Calling'. Not sure why. I
believe it's going to be moved.
I think the exit for KMHW is Highway K, don't recall the actuall name of the
street. You have to duck under the freeway to get to the frontage road that
you will take north to KMHW.
IMHO, Elliot's pales in comparison to Neu's in Menomonee Falls (the hometown
of the UA100), which carries Delta and General big iron, as well as an
awesome asortment of everything else. Pay with cash and get 10% off your
purchase. Neu's is on the westerly frontage road just south of the Highway
Q exit (same highway you take to KMHW).

Sound's like something to look into someday. But for me, we're
talking serious distance. I'm near Mitchell Field. For whatever
reason, someone decided there shall be no good hardware stores closer
than a radius of 10 miles from the airport. Yeah, some True Values,
but nothing *good*
That 10% off is sounding though.

Dave, you tried the Lakefront Brewery tour? No need to wait for the end of
the tour to indulge, they keep your glass full from beginning to end, and I
prefer the product to Sprecher. You also get a nice 16 oz glass to take
home, all for four bucks. Sprecher rocked 15 years ago when it first came
out, but IMHO many of the other micros have surpassed them.

The Art Museum downtown has a good display of furniture and chairs. Its new
spectacular addition by Santiago Calatrava is capped by a winged Brise
Soleil.

You're not thinking of Water Street Brewery? You may be able to see
Lakefront Brewery from city hall, but you would be looking all the way
across the river at the back of it.
We should setup a tour with the Milwaukee contingent from the wreck.
I'm always up for brewery tour.

In Madison go get a tour of the USFS Forest Products Lab on Walnut Street on
the University Campus. These guys are the authority on half the stuff we
deal with in woodworking - species and standards, glues, finishes, moisture
and dimension, forefront products and techniques, health issues and on and
on. They have useful reference publications available, as well.
Don't know what is available where you're coming from . . . Madison has a
few hardwood sources - BVC Hardwoods, Workbench Tool Co - and equipment
sources - Woodcraft, Workbench Tool, Marling Lumber - I've probably
overlooked something. Milwaukee has some good sources as well.
Have fun.

I heard that the Milwaukee Art Museum has/had an

do I know if it was worth going to.

Ah, I'll have to do that. I can see their place from where I work

It's still there, fantastic sandwiches and fries. You can get in if
you know the passphrase, or if you don't know it you get to do something
silly (on camera, of course) for the amusement of the people already
inside. You can go _out_ through the phone booth, through the
hidden passage, but you'll want someone else to walk in front.
It's on "Front street" which is an alley, runs north for a block off
of Wells, just west of water.

To keep it vaguely woodworking-ish, should we start with a visit to

Yes, in sharp contrast to that orange I-beam starburst thing that
obstructs the view of it. When that went up, it was widely regarded
as exceptionally ugly. Now, 25 or so years later, it's even more so
because it pollutes the view of the Calatrava.

I have a suggested location, and we could even get a penny a pound for
it as part of the bargain.
The Kettle Moraine location north of Milwaukee is just off the freeway
near Hartland, a 30 mile trip. Aurora Rd? I think, not sure.
The south location is in Caledonia, it's at the Milwaukee/Racine
county line on the west frontage road immediately adjacent to I-94
southbound.
Rockler and Woodcraft are both on Hwy 100 (108th St.) They're about 3
miles apart. The Woodcraft is ~1/4 mile south of Greenfield Ave., the
Rockler is to the north, at about Wisconsin Ave. The Rockler is in a
small strip mall. Woodcraft is next door to a tile store.
Elliott's Ace Hardware is a couple miles south of the Woodcraft at
Oklahoma Ave. They've got a pretty fair selection of hand held power
tools, and lots of hand tools too. One of the better hardware stores
in town, IMO.

Many moons ago (perhaps the 70's), when I was in beertown, there
was a restaurant down by the lake called the "Safe House". If it is
still there, you may want to check it out. (You enter through a

I remember that place - on Front Street. Think the sign said "International
Import/Exports" or sumthin' like that. You entered into a small
receptionist's lobby - and spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to
open up the secret door. Blissfully unaware that you were being watched by
the patron's on closed-circuit TV. You *exited* by a phone booth - had to
ask your waitress for the special number.
Think it started in the 70's along with the Spy Boom. By the time I had got
there - early 80's it was pretty run down but still fun.

IIRC, the addition was funded by donations.
The Brise Soleil is a movable pair of "wings" designed by Santiago
Calatrava, the same architect who has been selected to do the 9-11 memorial
in New York. The Brise is a functional shade that can be raised and lowered
over the main hall of the addition and has become the new signature for our
lakefront. It is unique and beautiful

If you don't have a Rockler or Woodcraft storefront where you're coming
from, you could always visit their stores in Milwaukee.
Also, depending upon where you're heading there's Kettle Moraine Hardwoods
both North and South of Milwaukee.
Do you happen to have kids along? There's a couple of nice places down on
the lakefront to take them as well (not necessarily wood related, but
hands-on things anyway).
You could, maybe, call Milwaukee Tool and see if they have anything to check
