Anyone else going to be there?  Which day(s)?

I will be in the marketplace on Friday and Saturday.

I'll just be in the marketplace both days unless some classes are still open.  I will be helping at the Bridge City Tool Works booth some of the time.

I'm coming down to the marketplace on Friday. Looking forward to it.

Any of you guys buy anything at the show?

I bought a square from Woodpeckers, a small chisel plane from Woodcraft and ordered a Veritas router plane. I was hoping Lie-Nielsen was giving a show discount, but since they weren't I ordered from Lee Valley.

I picked up a shooting board from Tico Vogt and some dovetail chisels from Blue Spruce (via "The Best Things").  I bought a LN #9 miter plane to go with it; they had no discount, but the shipping is free.  I stopped in on their Maine factory last summer and everything is 10% off everyday when you pick it up there.  I had a great time with John, Mike and the Bridge City "Dream Team" in their booth.  I am ordering a Bridge City Tool HP6v2 molding plane now that I am home.

I looked at (actually drooled on) the Vogt shooting board. That is a really nice tool. It's just a lot of money. Very well made though. Alex, you have the ultimate combo with the L-N plane. I didn't buy any tools this round. I'm waiting on the L-N plow plane that's supposed to be in the works. Bought a couple of books which are a great deal at Popular Woodworking.

Actually the ultimate combo involves the LN #51.  That is a sweet piece of tool.

 

[Wonderwino]

I tried both and the #9 fit my hand (& wallet) just fine.  I may get a #51 someday, but the #9 will do for now.  He also had a #5 and it worked, too, but not as well as the others.
