Just saw at the Woodworking Shows website that Lee Valley is coming to the Denver WW show this year! Rob, if you’re reading this, thanks! Always wanted to give your stuff a more serious hands-on look-over, although I’ll already grant you that every Veritas product I ever boguht was top-drawer.
Can’t wait!

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher
a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts,
build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders,
cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

"Portland, too, in a couple of weeks." Eeeeek! Gotta go check on Seattle/Tacoma!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
Hmph! Nothing in Seattle until April. Wonder how many Northwesterners we could get together for lunch in Portland. I'll start a thread!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
BarryO, you may have just made up my mind about the Portland WW show this year. I'm still waffling though, I can't think of anything I really need or want to look at except with LV being there it does sound more interesting. Although it really goes against my cheap nature to go and spend nearly $15 for parking and entry and not have any real reason to be there.
MJOver the Hill? What Hill? I didn't see any Hill!
What about lunch and a Brewski with some Knots friends. We do this in Seattle/Tacoma. Soon as I finish with this phone call, I'll post a thread and see who-all is interested.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)
Charlie, when and where is the show? I'm in western NE and have been wanting to go to one for several years, maybe this is the year.

One day might suit you better than another, if you can't make all three. Also, some items are sold out unless you get there early (even then some are sold out, but you can always order them.)See ya there (leave your wallet at home...)!CharlieA human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher

This is the year! I need a better way to join face frames, perhaps there will be something intriguing there.

Great!! Makes the show worth going to just to see what Lee Valley brings.
You "murcans" better watch out for them insiduous Canadians trying to screw yu!!
first they get in yer workshop door flogging their Veritas products, and next thing ya know they are flogging them Robertson Screws better known south of the 49th as "square drive".
And, once you get to try a few, why yer "hooked" and then whilst you think you can quit at any time, you become addicted. Them phillips screws that used to be "adequate" probably just won't cut the mustard any more. You will wonder how you made do without them Square Drive screws.
You become a "square drive" addict.......
Actually, I don't think yu got much to worry about. Yer Government will protect you from the Northern Threat from the GWN, just like they did when an Alberta lumber mill wanted to donate 2 by material to the New Orleans/Gulf states/Katrina relief effort. Yer Government wanted them to pay a 25% punitive tarrif to the US government on the softwood lumber before they could donate it. . .
Meanwhile, yer gubberment keeps you safe from the Canadian "threat" fer now....
But in all seriousness. Veritas product is equivalent in my mind to quality product, and as far as I know, some/all of it is mfgd in North America, thus keeping jobs at home to boot.
