I have been going to the Houston Woodworking Show every year for the past 6 years or so.  I went again this past Friday afternoon and was very disappointed.

It seemed like there were fewer vendors and what vendors were there had fewer tools displayed.  One vendor that I was particularly interested in seeing (they were also listed on their web site for Houston) was not there.  I spent less than two hours there and really had a hard time finding something of interest.  Don’t feel like I got my monies worth ($9 entry fee and $8 parking). 

I also noticed that there were significantly fewer people at the show this year which makes me wonder if those that didn’t attend knew something that I didn’t.
