DON'T EXPECT MUCH
And I have to ho back tomorrow to return some BAD DOG drill bits. These Bad Dog drill bits have a life time guarantee and will be resharpened for life for free but I guess you would have to be able to drill the first hole with out breaking one to be impressed. At the show year after year I have seen the bits go through wood, ceramic tile, files, cinder blocks and other drill bits. Mine would not go through 1/4" thick angle iron. My old drill bit went through with out a hitch.
Anyway the show is a shadow of itself and while they are in a new location west of Houston they offer free parking. The problem is we were lucky to find a parking spot early Friday afternoon. The facility is a high school gymnasium in Katy, TX. the vendors were packed in, Wood Craft and Rockler and about 150 sq. feet each. I really don't think they were there to sell anything. Kreg had a large display as did Peach Tree and Wood Line. Delta and PC were there through a local vendor.
The facility was so crowded that the some vendors like LeeValley, a wood working school, a wood turners club, and a few classes were actually located outside the area where you need a ticket to get in.
The facility and the parking lot was way too small.
I am pretty much a die hard when it comes to going to these shows but this will probably be my last for The Woodworking Shows show if it is held in this facility again.
