We are hosting the camp for the second time!
The date is set for Jan. 23rd.
4076 Airline Rd.
McDonough, GA 30252
(White house with a red roof...).
You can look it up on Google Maps
Robby has updated the farm site again.. http://www.bentfork.com/
There will be a camp sign by the road the day of the camp. You can reach me directly at 770 follwed by 262 and then 0800 if you need help or have questions.
I'm running a PRT Alpha 48x96 with the 7.2:1 upgrade and a 4HP HSD spindle.
I am **considering** running a half day or so on Friday before the camp for anyone that does not own a bot and would like to see one run and ask questions. Actual cutting will occur. If you would be interested please use the email in my profile and let me know.
-- Directions:
Google map 4076 Airline Rd. McDonough, GA 30252 for route alternatives. When you get close look for our sign and a white house with red roof.
From I-75 South
Take Exit 228 Hwy 138 Stockbridge Exit, turn left
In about 1.2 Miles turn right onto Hwy 138 (toward Conyers)
In about 9.1 miles (and after you cross Hwy 155) turn right onto Union Church Road.
Follow Union Church road about 4 miles and look for us on the left.
From I-75 North
Take Exit 216 and turn left onto Hwy 155 (the exit loops)
Follow Hwy 155 until you reach Ga 20 in about 3 miles (go straight)
Continue on Hwy 20 (go straight, no turns)
In about 4 miles you'll pass Simmons Mfg on the right, the next left is Airline Rd.
Turn left on Airline Rd. and follow it for about 4.3 miles, we'll be on the right.
From I-20 West
Take exit 82, Hwy 138 Conyers Exit
Turn Left
Go straight on Hwy 138, Go straight onto Hwy 20 (no turns)
In about 6 miles you see a Sonic on the right
Turn right on Oglesby Bridge Rd at that Sonic.
Follow Oglesby Bridge road until it deadends in about 4.6 miles.
Turn left, that is Airline Rd. We are up the hill on the left.
From I-20 East
Takes Exit 68, Turn Right onto Wesley Chapel Rd.
In about 1.5 miles or so, turn left onto Rainbow Dr/Snapfinger Rd.
Follow that and it becomes Hwy 155 in about 3 miles.
Once it becomes Hwy 155 follow it another 4.8 miles (about 7.8 total from Wesley Chapel)
You'll come to a 4 way stop for Hwy 138
Turn Left onto Hwy 138 toward Conyers.
In 1 mile turn Right onto Union Church Rd.
Follow Union Church road about 4 miles and look for us on the left.
There are several ways to get here, if in doubt check out google maps. Turn on the sat image and you'll
see our house close to where google thinks 4076 is located.
-- Parking (see image at bottom of thread):
As you come down the drive be aware on the right side is a drainage pipe and almost at the end toward the house is a drainage pit with large rocks sitting around it.
If you have a problem with horses chewing on your car DO NOT park on the side of the driveway close to the fences. Horse can and will reach over to nuzzle and chew on your vehicle. If you don't care, feel free.
You can park in front and behind the house, on the drive way and off to the side you'll see space as well. Don't worry about the grass. Again, just keep more than a horse neck's distance from the fence unless you don't care.
If you have a truck and are able to park in the rougher areas please do so and that will leave the better areas for the cars.
If it is raining we'll have a plan B for parking as the back would not be available.
The red line and encircled area shows the approx parking areas. We can go outside the red lines and feel free to park out in the triangle (in blue) and walk down the drive if you wish.
-- Finding us when you are close:
When you approach there will be sign that says Camp ShopBot on it at the end of the driveway.
When you come down the driveway you will go to the right toward the white house with the red roof. The entrance for the camp is on the back side of the house. There will be markers to show you the way.
-- Food
There will be coffee, hot tea, orange juice etc... along with donuts available in the morning and something will be served for lunch.

Rather than tons of email split between two people etc...
If you plan to attend, please post here with a head count so we can keep track of it.
If you are considering a bot purchase and would be interested in a session before the camp (no promises) please email me directly using the email in my profile.
See you at the camp!
