    Question Klingspor Extravaganza - October 24 & 25

    Well, October is right around the corner and before you know it the Klingspor Extravaganza will be in our backyard.

    NCWW 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?

    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 NCWW). 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.
