This is a bit late... while looking for free space on my video drive, I found some footage I took of Eagle Tools I hadn't edited! D'oh!
To a power-tool woodworker, this video could be considered "NSFW"; you've been warned!
My friend Roger introduced me to Eagle Tools about a year ago on a trip out to LA. You saw a bit of them when I toured the WIA'12-Pasadena marketplace floor.
This clip is basically Chris and I wandering the store with a few stories from Jesse re-told; Jesse is the owner of Eagle Tools. He's a great guy with a lot of knowledge of his product line. Though Chris and I were just there to browse, we got a lot of show-n-tell on the Agazzani bandsaws, Incas, a variety of bandsaw blade guides, and the Festool room.
I know Inca has a big fan-base and rightly so based on what I saw and learned. Eagle's the place for Inca. If I didn't have a scroll saw, I swear I'd have taken one of the smaller Inca bandsaws home to use as a scroll saw!
There's some camera motion I tried to compensate for in editing; I was either too close to things or just too excited to hold the camera properly :)
Here's the video link for my email subscribers.
Naturally, I like woodworking as a hobby, but an ice hockey tournament will easily get me out of the shop :)

I've been there and it's a really tempting place! Jesse is great to deal with. Have resisted one of the Agazzani's but they are impressive.
I have an Inca 259 table saw, an Inca 550 joiner / planer and an inca 10" bandsaw. Had them since the mid 80's. Owned one of their radial saws but sold it to buy a sliding Hitachi before selling it for a Kapex.
Festool and Inca are of very similar quality and system thinking.
Drool!!! Thanks for finding that footage!
Thanks for this post on eagle tools. I'm now interested in learning more!
