: Our sales tax is 9.75%, the maximum allowable (until they change the law). Maybe keeps tourists away, I don't know, but no state tax on earned income or interest. I forget Phisherman, you're where? Texas-Houston? -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

East Tennessee, lots of native woods here and the Smoky Mountains. High Point, NC, is not too far away. That seems almost in the middle of NC, SE of Winston-Salem, so if that is close to you, High Point State Park is close to me (HPSP is in NJ, very close to Port Jervis, where NY, NJ & PA meet. Although for "woods" we mostly go to Harriman/Bear Mountain, the Shawangunks or Catskills. And I pay Fed, NY & NJ income taxes in addition to the sales tax. And I am happy to pay them. If I weren't, I wouldn't have income sheepish grin. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Question about a woodworking show
I forget Phisherman, you're where? Texas-Houston? East Tennessee, lots of native woods here and the Smoky Mountains. High Point, NC, is not too far away. Where in ET? I'm west knox. jc Oh, and yeah, our sales tax stinks...... That was the main part of the reason I was hoping to find some big iron at the woodworking show (just to bring this back on topic :-)) |

Given today's circumstances, where there's more and more people with no income that still need to buy stuff.... They get you coming or going (or both). |

Question about a woodworking show
So I went to the woodworkers show yesterday. There were certainly a lot of
router bits there. The good news is I purchased 8 of the 3D Square setups for $85. They are $16 a piece on Amazon. http://jevonstoolco.com/index.html I also purchased the "Show Only" Woodworker II blade and dampener for $120. http://www.3dsawbladesalesfl.com/pro...18b334be364d79 Both items I wanted and they happened to have good deals at the show. I did check the web while at the show to see if the prices were really "good". It was basically what many of the posters here had said it would be. It had more of a feel of a flea market than a show. Peachtree Woodworking took up a large percentage of the floor space. The stuff they had was what they have in their catalogue except it was displayed in bins. As I mentioned in the first line, there were a lot of router bits to be had. Kreg had a sizable display. The only "iron" was Ridgid have a few items and Woodcraft had a few items as well. I did see an informative talk about finishing. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 6. There may have been more deals there but I wasn't looking - didn't have the money, for anything else.

Question about a woodworking show
Thanks for the report. Sounds like they are limping along about the
same as has been for a few years. One question, did you "check the web" from a web enabled phone?
