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

It's easier if you sign up ahead of time, otherwise sign up by Friday if
really want a class.

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

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.

Robert

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.
