    Anybody going to the Chicago-area WoodWorking Show?

    Anybody planning on attending the WoodWorking Show in Villa Park, IL? I might actually be able to make it this year (For some reason, my Army Reserve Drill Weekend is not the first weekend of the month). I know a BT3k meet-up was done in the past, but I don't know who's still around or new to the group.

      Ray, I'll let you know at least a week before if I can make it. Oct 6-8, right? It would be great to meet local "BT3Centrists"!

          I am planning on going. I often go on Friday and then again on Sunday after I've had some time to 'prepare' LOML for new stuff that I really 'must have'.

              No but I and two other woodworking buddies are going to the wood workers weekend fair in Hamburg (which is just south of Buffalo) the weekend of 29-30 Sept. They usually come to Syracuse about this time of the year at the state fairgrounds, but for some reason they skipped last year but are coming this fall. Really looking forward to it. Good chance to pick up some "fair" specials. Two years ago I got my Delta 13" planer at a good price as well as a coupon for a Delta saber saw worth (catalog price) $99 for FREE. Can't beat that deal.

                  Reality might be getting in the way of my plans again. If we can get a group to meet (Sunday?), I'll have a bit more incentive/leverage. We're about three weeks away from the baby's due date, and the "must do" list is growing.

                                  A HUGE favor ....

                                  I'm not going to be able to make it on Sat, and it will be difficult to justify Sunday too, but if some of the things I need are there at good prices, I can rationalize/justify the trip.

                                  So, if anybody that's going today or tomorrow could post if there are any good buys on Router Fences, Upcut spiral and/or plywood edging router bits (like those new ones from MLSC: http://mlcswoodworking.com/shopsite_...banding_anchor) or T-track that takes 1/4" hex bolts (ideally the Advantage track that used to be sold by A&I Supply but now appears to be sold exclusively by Woodline), please post.
