Just found out there will be a show Jan 25-27 at the Georgia Int'l Convention Center if anyone wants to go. I did not receive the flyer this year for some reason. Anyone going?

I will be there Saturday in the Turning Club Booth (with my snazzy looking IAP smock!), and later in the day I will be in the Carving Club Booth. I will be there Sunday as well in the Carving Booth. Come by and say hello!

Please let us know what you think of the show. That will help me decide if it is worth going when it comes around to my area in March.
Thanks!

I enjoyed meeting so many members of the IAP at the show Saturday and Sunday. The turners booth was right next to the Craft Supplies booth, and we had 4 lathes going non stop all day Saturday with demos. We had many enthusiastic folks who wanted more information about the IAP, and we were happy to direct them to the website, and I hope we get a few new faces logged on from Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, as I met folks from all three states.
The show was very well attended both Saturday and Sunday. Saturdays crowd was strong all day long, and the Sunday crowd was a very early crowd and by 2pm, it was dead. They had many vendors sell out of items and were shipping orders, so I hope the vendors did well.
There were not as many vendors there as years past, but most of the usual suspects were represented. The woodworking clubs had a very good representation, and there were beautiful pieces completed by a variety of wood disciplines.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hello!

Robert,
CSUSA should have been paying you a commission. You were doing a better job of selling their products than they were.
I spent 30 minutes in their booth. Of the six people working the booth, not a single one so much as said "hello."
Good to meet you this weekend.

Man, they either need to get the word out better or get one down Orlando way. Wish I could have gone.

I can't wait for it to come to Charlotte. It's a 2 hour drive but I'm going to make a Saturday of it.[

THarvey it was great to meet you there as well. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with what little Craft Supplies brought to the show. They had even less this year than they did last year. I couldn't tell you how many people were ready to buy premium kits, but they didn't bring any.
fiferb, if you get a chance go, it is fun just walking around and looking at all of the cool stuff.

The woodworking show is coming to Houston on the 5th of April. I checked the exibitors listing and see nothing, none, nada, ziltch, pertaining to turning. No CSA, No Jet, No Tormek...what's up. I had really planned on some good deals on both a Jet lathe and a sharpener as well as some pen supplies. Anyone been to one of these lately? Any dealers care to respond?

Vern..
See my mini-review of the Charlotte show in another post in this forum (Woodworking Show - Charlotte).
I think a couple of guys from South Carolina were coming up to Charlotte today, so maybe they will share their own impressions later on. This was the third such show I have attended (in as many years), and must sadly say that, IMHO, the quality is steadily decreasing. A much better show if you are in the NC/SC area is the annual Klingspor's Woodworking Extravaganza (which has a FAR better vendor representation/selection...).
