Klingspor Extravaganza Woodworking Show




Friday Oct 26 & Saturday Oct 27, 2007

More details at Klingspor's Web Site

Hickory Metro Convention Center
Hickory, NC
(directions here)


Gathering of NC Woodworkers to follow (further details TBA). Be sure to mark your calendars and set aside time for this event! Start making carpool plans now! We had a great time in previous years! (click to see pics from the 2005 and 2006 Extravaganzas!)

We're still finalizing plans, but Klingspor has once again graciously offered plenty of space for our gathering. There will be plenty of room to show off our work and run some demonstrations (woodturning, scrollsawing, or maybe something else... we're open to ideas & suggestions!). And on Saturday we'll have a nice room to gather together for fellowship and some more of that great BARBECUE!

Once again, in an effort to obtain a reasonable estimate of how many will attend this event, please reply in this thread if you plan to attend. If you can, plan to bring a few projects along to show off!

See you there!

I can do whatever - plan on being there on Sat. I'd like to have a time period where we could at least discuss techniques and/or tools in carving. I know what I have done for the spoons, but I don't know what all tools are available, worthwhile, how to use safely... What are folk's favorite carving tools and why? I realize that there is a carving contest unrelated to us during the show so I don't want to stop on toes.

Monty, my wife and I will be there both days, so we can help set up etc. and anything else that needs to doing (except demo'ing) of course. We'll probably be up there Thur evening.

Do you need any signs, flyers, etc.?

Do we want to give away or sell any North Carolina Woodworker merchandise.

Door prizes. I Have a few in stock

I will be there. I will probably be doing an all day Maloof Chairmaking seminar on Saturday again much like last year. Things are busy and up in the air for me, but I will make a hole in my schedule to be there.

Steve, can you do nametags for those who say they are coming? That was very helpful at the picnic!

Hehehe.... sure you can ride with me!!! I can pick you up at the Cracker Barrel just down the road from the convention center.

Steve - door prizes, etc... as usual, I really haven't thought about that. It would be nice to have something to sell, at least for the members. Maybe some shirts or hats... the mugs are nice - I use mine every day! What ever happened to all those bumper stickers? Are there any left? Let me know what you have. The signs will be provided by Klingspor again this year.


One other thing: any interest in a pen turn-a-thon again -- "Pens for the Troops"? Or maybe turn some "Tops for Tots"? Other ideas? If so, I can make up a sign-up sheet to keep the lathe(s) turning!

If you have North Carolina Woodworker stuff for sale, definitely bring it!

In order to have North Carolina Woodworker stuff for sale I believe that Steve would have to buy it first and hope it sells. If we can offer an alternative to his expense that would probably be more feasible.

My dance card is open for Saturday, so I will see if I can prevent loose ends from tripping me up.

Hi Cskipper,
Please don't hesitate doing carving demos and instruction! THE MORE THE BETTER!!!!!!!!

By the way, spoke with Don Mchugh, who heads up the carving competitions, and he wanted me to tell all of you to enter your carvings for competition. Last year, there were over 620 carvings and tons of prize money rewarded.

Visit www.woodworkingshop.com and go to bottom of page and look for logo and information. Thanks.

Not a chance I'd give a demo on carving -I'm just punting my way through. Carving is intriguing - but I'm sure that there are easier and/or more correct ways to do it.
