Had to come home to address some honey-dos, but wanted to say there was a great showing of talent at today's Klingspor Woodworking Show. Some really nice work, and great demos.
I hope those I met will forgive me for forgetting their names  but it was nice to enjoy a great breakfast and the time visiting while at show. I had a chance to meet Sawduster (aka Robert), catch up with Scott and several others - enjoying talking about scroll sawing and things.
BTW - congrats to Sawduster who scored a ribbon for his scrollsawn profile of what I believe is called American Gothic (farmer, his wife and pitchfork!)
If you see this in time, it would be worth a run to the store to see some of the pieces on display. Good job folks!

I wish I could have made it, I am busy trying to get caught up since my down time. I am sure I would have enjoyed myself. Maybe next time

Yes, Rick, you were there at breakfast.  I have proof: 
Well sort of - Rick is a dark lump on the left above... 
I made it to breakfast. I had my kids with me and I did ask them if they wanted to change our plans and go to a store where they couldn't touch anything to listen to old guys talk about tools and wood.
I think they made the only reasonable choice...     | |

I second that. It's great to see all these events, and the interest in woodworking. The entries were impressive, great looking tables, bowls, toys, cabinets etc. etc. etc.
I liked the variety of demonstrations today too. The turning is always good, but the scrollsawing was an eye opener! It's so simple! Just get a pattern and cut away everything you don't want. Or, as Robert put it, it's like sculpting an elephant. Start with a block of wood, and cut away everything that doesn't look like an elephant. Bill's dovetail demo actually has me browsing Lee Valley's site for a saw and jig....And there's nothing like seeing Doug TEARING away at a big piece of wood with a massive 3 1/4HP router making a delightful mess. Certainly all aspects of woodworking were covered (although we still need to do on-site lumber milling).
The door prizes were great too - I actually won something! And promptly forgot it at the store too.....  So now I have to make another trip soon, "darn" 
I think I'm getting sick though. I was there for quite a while, and there was a sale, and I didn't buy anything. There's just nothing I really want right now. I mean, I wouldn't say no to stuff, but I actually have what I need for my projects. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

It's called WGD remission. You need help quick! I would go buy something big, that should get you out of remission at least for a little while.

To the honorable Douglas Robinson ( who also scored a ribbon  )
Your dish was retrieved without incident and has subsequently been found to be microwave-safe after all
I feel sorry for those of you who missed Bas saying " hey y'all watch this ! .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") "

congrats on the ribbons guys! Sounds like a fun day.
Bas - I think your "accidental" forgetting your door prize indicates that your WGD disease's remission will be brief! It's obvious the sale part you are allergic to
