Central FL Gathering after ORL Woodowrking Show

mfitterling in Lake Wales, FL

>Hi all. I am thinking of arranging a get-together at my shop (which, luckily, was pretty much unharmed by the hurricane that wacked our house) in Lake Wales after the Woodworking Show in Orlando in March. Is anyone interested? Let me know.

It would be nice to set up some kind of demo. I would love to see someone demonstrate traditional French polishing; any experts out there willing to share?

If there is enough interest, I'll start making arrangements. The show is the Friday, the 11th through Sunday the 13th. Maybe we could do the get-together on the 12th? Link to the show: The Woodworking Show in Orlando

This may be a combined WC and Woodent get-together.

>Sorry about my lousy typing.

For anyone who doesn't know, Lake Wales is at the intersection of US Hwy 27 (running north and south through the middle of the state) and State Road 60 (running east and west from Tampa to Vero Beach). It issouthwest and roughly 50 miles from downtown Orlando. Home of Florida Natural Orange Juice and Florida Natural Disasters Charley, Frances, and Jeanne.

Here's a working link to the show.

>Could be doable perhaps. Certainly would like to that's for sure. Will have to see what the finances look like after the weekend of fossil hunting on Feb 26th and 27th.

In order to protect myself from myself I don't think I'd be inclined to take in the show as I know I'd end up buying either a Dubby, or another LN, neither of which I can afford right now. :~(

>I hope you can make it Todd. I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger response here. Must not be that many of us down here. Did I mention a friend will be making the best ribs you've ever tasted? Mmmm

>Hi Don. I posted a link to the show in Orlando. It is one of the "Woodworking Shows", not always the best, but the only thing we got around here. But you never know what you might find. Close to my birthday, so maybe I'll have some $ to spend even. Usually a half day suits me. We have a fenced 3/4 acre lot and we will bbq next to the shop I built a couple springs ago. I'm hoping someone can do a demonstration.

>First, I gotta wait for LOML to get home from VA so we can look at the schedule. If it's the same weekend as the PATINA auction, I'll warn you up front that it's gonna be a tough call. Then, I gotta talk to relatives in Winter Haven to see if I'm welcome. Then I gotta check on airplane and auto ticket prices. More info on the Orlando woodworking show might make a difference, too.

>OK, where is the Linky?

My big sis lives somewhere around Orlando, and she is always nagging me to come visit, so maybe I can convince SWMBO that this is a good idea.

>Well, if you've worn out your welcome in Winter Haven, you are more than welcome to stay here and camp out in the livingroom. We have two sleeper couches and a small inflatable bed.
