Well, October is right around the corner and before you know it the Klingspor Extravaganza will be in our backyard.
North Carolina Woodworker members have had a great showing at this show the past couple of years ... so what's this year look like? Are you going? What's the plan? | | Views: 660 | |

Can you enlighten those of us who have never been? How big a deal is this? Is it worth traveling to? If you had your choice would you attend this one or the woodworking show in the spring? | |

It is a regional show and smaller than the woodworking show in the spring, but still a decent show. It's hosted by Klingspor -- out of Hickory -- and they do a good job of getting vendors to show. Now don't quote me, but I'd guess about 35 vendors are on the floor, plus a huge section for carvers to show their wares and a few other booths for other clubs (like North Carolina Woodworker). Usually a few good deals to be had, but for me it's more about just going and enjoying the company. | |

I hope to be there. It's one of things like the Spring Picnic that I really look forward to.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

There will be a "formal" thread about this sometime tomorrow. I am hoping we will have a large official presence.

Planning to be there on Friday. Hoping to bring a friend also. I enjoyed the show, food, and fellowship last year.
