Anyone been to KC woodworking show?

discussed frequently. I went to the one in Denver last November. My bottom line: go ahead and go once. Have low expectations. If you find a "steal of a deal", consider yourself fortunate. But don't expect widespread prices that are way below what you get find today via the 'Net.

I go to the KC show every year and love it! There are some deals to be had. Some things are full price. You have to be careful. But where else can you see all of that woodworking stuff in one location.

Also - if you want to buy some big iron - table saw, jointer, etc - go to Overland Tool on the same day. They will have lots of good prices on Delta, Jet, General, PC, DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc. They are just a few miles from the advertised woodworking shows. They always have manufacturers reps on hand the same day of the woodworking show.

Their website is under construction but you can get their address and phone by going to

Where else can you spend $7 and get at least 1 full day of entertainment? Watching the guy loaded on caffeine cutting the glasss, endless dovetail demo's, watching the different mills in action etc.... All for $7.

Actually it's $8 this year, but I figure that's still only about $1 per hour, right?

I went last year and was a little disappointed. Weather was iffy. The parking was BAAAAAAD. The line to get tickets was LOOOOOONG and the crowd was LAAAARGE. I'm going again this year and have ordered tickets in advance but it's been over a month and still no tickets even though my Visa has been charged $10. No real bargains...just about 5% off catalog prices and you pay Kansas tax. I'll see you there.
