I know Robin Lee is a regular reader of the Wreck. Is Lee Valley
going to be at The Woodworking Show in Costa Mesa, CA in two weeks?

I've got a number of things to order but thought if I could pick them
up on the spot I'd wait a few days.

Don't know if they will be in Orange County, but they are at most of the
major woodworking shows in Canada. They were at the Woodstock show last
month, and I expect they will be at the Toronto show early November.

My experience is that they have very little at the show, simply because
their product line is very extensive and the show space limited. Mostly they
had demo stuff, order forms, catalogues, etc.

When I attended the Ontario show (a handful of years back) they didn't
sell much at the show but offered free shipping on anything ordered
there. If Robin was there, he wasn't badged or I would have
glad-handed him.

Today at Portland's WW show I overheard a couple folks being told that
they would place their order at the booth and the items would be
shipped. They do have an exxxxxstensive line of tools and stuff, but I'd
think a lot of impulse sales might be lost with this method.

One cool aspect of the booth was the full lineup of all their planes -
they've really got quite the selection and have done a bangup job of
engineering these things. They all felt and looked high quality - even
when directly comparing to the Lie-Nielsen lineup, which was one vendor
row over.

Hi Ian -

Yes, we will be there this year...

Othere posters in this thread have given you good information - we will take
orders at the show - with free shipping. It's hard for us to bring product
to each show - and in some cases, it meants we have to register to collect
and remit sales taxes and so on...

Then too, no matter what we take - it'd be the wrong thing for most
people....

I personally won't be at that show - though I am going to attend more
consumer shows than I do now....beleive me - if I could find a way to be in
California in November instead of here (for afew days, anyway) I would!

Cheers -

Rob Lee

Suckage.

True, but I got to see the folding Dozukis (and passed) and
that outstanding little(?) pattern vise of yours. It is a
grand Show & Tell your guys put on. Kudos.

Whatever for, Rob? November is California's monsoon month. It has
been known to rain for as many as 3 days that month there, dropping
nearly half an INCH in the process! Traffic accidents skyrocket in
that month, too. You're safer up north, believe me.


(Only half kidding.)
