prov163 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 went to the Atlanta Woodworking Show Friday and Saturday. It's grown a bit since last year. The new owner, Brice, really seems to want it to get better. It was pretty packed. There's still more to do to get it top notch, but a marked improvement over a couple of years ago. Did anyone else here go? What did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSparger Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I went Friday and Saturday as well. I was surprised at the number of people there. I haven't been to one of these since it was held at the convention center near the airport and while this seemed like a decent show it doesn't seem like it was like I remember it being back then. I was wondering why Rockler and Woodcraft don't have a booth at this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov163 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah, I remember the ones by the airport. Huge. Hopefully they'll keep growing and maybe return to their former glory. I don't remember Rockler or Woodcraft being at the show for years. Were they at the older shows by the airport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSparger Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Can't remember if they were or not but seems like they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I,skipped the show this year. I don't ever remember Rockler, Highland or Woodcraft being at the local show. Saw Highland at the IWF years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was checking out their website a couple of weeks back and the vendors at each show across the country is all over the board. Atlanta by far had the most listed vendors and Sacramento, CA (the one closest to me) the least by almost half. Rockler is supposed to be there but nothing about woodcraft. Also some other big names aren't listed at Sacramento, like Bessy, Timber Wolf, Clear Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov163 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wdwerkr I looked around for you but didn't see you. Figured you had a big project on deadline - maybe another library staircase which was amazing. I've never seen Woodcraft or Rockler at the shows I've gone to over the last few years. But I was pleased to see the increased number of vendors overall and bigger crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
