Houston Woodworking Show

Mar 29, 2006 15 Replies

I'm heading to the Houston Woodworking Show this weekend. Any suggestions as to a class or seminar that has proven to be really good in the past. Also, do I need to sign up for classes prior to arriving at the show? Don't know how fast they fill up . . . ?



Thanks in advance . . . Steve


Where in Houston does this take place? Thanks

I need a couple of "filials" made (I think they're called). About 3/4" diameter and a couple of inches long. I'd pay for your time if you can help me. Joe

The Joe entity posted thusly:

heh! That's 'finials', but it's a lot closer than the guys on router workshop that called them 'fennels'. I though I'd tuned to a wood-oriented cooking show.

The older fella also cuts 'tenets'.

Thanks for the correction, I'll add that to my word list. And I'll include 'filial' since I had to look that one up too.

Anyhow, I don't guess I've run into a Houston wood-turner that can help me, just wordsmiths.

I call 'em tall, fancy knobs.. *g*

If you can't find someone local, most of us would probably be willing to help you out by mail..

You asked for Houston, but as Mac mentioned, given the size, the world's available by post.

Takes longer, though.

Excuse me, but what happened to the Houston Woodworking Show topic . . .?

Actually Steve, I thought it played out well. Four posts on topic isn't a record, but it isn't bad. Sometimes the thread is hijacked after the first post when someone has soemthing really cute to say.

I Know - I Know I Know . . . .

Thanks, Steve - packing for my first woodworking show . . .I'm excited . . . packed good shoes, comfortable clothes & several credit cards . . . even bringing the wife who always says " buy it if you think it will help you build projects" . . . .

The Gulf Coast Wood Turners club will have a booth at the show. There will be a couple dozen people there who can turn what you need.
