I spent last weekend in Milwaukee visiting my son and his lovely wife. I also spent a good deal of time at the Woodworking Show. Anybody else there? It was crowded and a lot of fun. I-94 was all tore up near the show, which was a hassle. I attended some really good presentations, all free, except for the presentation by Marc Adams on veneering, which cost $50. In hindsight, his presentation was no better than the free ones and I would not recommend attending that one. A good series of presentations by a very nice man named Bob Settich were my favorite. There were bargains to be had if you know what you're looking at. I bought an Easy Wood Full Finisher for $116. They're $129 everywhere else. I found a few other miscellaneous treasures like a bag of 100 pre-finished wooden drawer knobs for $10. Actually I think it was $10, they only took cash and I did not get a receipt
I go through a lot of these knobs and I know they cost a small fraction of the knobs I buy now. I last attended a WWShow in St Paul a few years ago but they stopped coming to St Paul a while back. I did recognize a few of the demonstrators from back then. The good ones can sell a lot of product. This guy was selling a ton of these: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69qAs4rpuh8[/youtube]Tom
