KC WW Show Breakfest

[Scott Coffelt]

I stole this infor from another post... so sue me....

It's that time of year again. The Kansas City Woodworking Show is coming March 4-6, 2005. Continuing the tradition started during the Badger Pond days, WoodCentralians descending upon Kansas City will join for breakfast before the show opens on Saturday, March 5. I believe we had 15 plus join in the fun last year. All WoodCentral folks are invited (yes, Power Tool gang included!).

This year, we will meet at the Le Peep Restaurant at College Blvd. and Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park. Our reservations start at 8 AM. Le Peep is at the far west end of the strip shops on the northwest corner of College (about 111th street) and Metcalf. The KC WW show is just minutes away.

I would like a head count if you can join us. This will make sure we have adequate seating. Please e-mail me directly (bward@burnsmcd.com)if you would like to join us. I can probably answer general questions here (on Hand Tools, as I don't check the "Power Tool" side too often) if you have any.

Please see "The Woodworking Shows" website for more details about the show. I believe admission is $9 this year, but that gets you in all three days. You can get a $1 off the admission if you register on-line. I think mail promotions also have an admisstion discount.

In addition to the KC WW Show, Overland Tool will also be having their annual winter show/sale. This place is power tool heaven with everything from cordless tools to commercial equipment. They are in Lenexa at approximately 79th and Nieman. The (Lenexa) Woodcraft Store is also close by at 87th and Bluejacket (close to I-35). Both locations are about 15 minutes from the KC WW Show.

I'm not affiliated with any of the above, blah, blah, blah.

Sounds good to me. No reason to go a different route. Terry Hatfield and I will plan on making it.

[Andy Haney]

Met Jack before. He actually let me come and look through his shop when I was "borrowing" ideas. I look forward to seeing him again, and meeting the rest of you.

[Randy Moore]

I met Andy Haney about a week and half ago. I be there, as I would like to meet some of the wood workers in this area.

I need to see if I am going to be any kind of woodworker or just a piddler with wood

[Scott Coffelt]

Randy,

Hi I am a fellow Olathean. We'll have to hook up. I've been friends with Jack for many years, and a few years back was able to meet Terry. These forums have been nice for that.

Andy, feel free to hit me up and take a look at where Jack learned everything he knows :). I have one of the most efficient shops around these parts considering what I have packed into a 300sqft basement shop.

Good thing is I break ground soon on a new house and dedicated shop (1008sqft), not big from many standards here on the forum, but at over 3x what I have today, I'll be in heaven.

[Steve Clardy]

Scott. John and I will be there. Where was your info from your post stolen from?

[Roy Wall]

Scott,

Thanks for the heads up!!

I'll be there 8 am sharp......maybe even earlier!!!

Look forward to meeting all you SMC'er personally!!

A big group of Neanderthals originally from Badger Pond have always set this up. They still post on the hand tool forum on Woodcentral. Really nice guys, but all that talk about $100 planes they think they stole from Ebay always has me scratchin my head after the breakfast. Heck, I can't even use a coping saw without hurting myself. I learned a long time ago, that if it doesn't have a motor that does all the work, I'm in trouble. :p

As for Scott comment about teaching me everything I know...............The only thing he taught me was how to spend all my hard earned money on woodworking. ;)

Jack,

I'll bring a couple of them planes and let you cut yourself...er....try them out!!! Then you'll be hooked and surfin' Ebay 20 hours a day. :D

[Scott Coffelt]

That's just what he needs, someone else to help him spend his money.

Yep. I been there the last three years eating breakfast with the guys. Ernie Miller is usually my contact for breakfast get togethers. Is he attending this year??

[Randy Moore]

Scott,

I think that I am going to have my schedule cleared so that I can attend breakfast and the show, but my question is do we need to e-mail Bward@burnsmcd.com for reservations? Or are you taking care of this non-woodworking project.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone.
Randy

[Scott Coffelt]

I am leaving your reservations up to each of you. I just wanted to make sure you knew about it. Sorry, my schedule lately has me where I would not be able to pay that much attention to detail.

[Mike Hannah]

Scott, I'll be there.

[Chris Padilla]

I'll be sorry to miss this!

[Karl Laustrup]

This is sounding like it's going to be a real good breakfast. Wish I was a little closer, I'd join you. :)

I hope amongst all you neander types that someone is familiar with the operation of digi camera, cause pics would be in order following a gathering of this magnitude. ;) :cool: :) :eek: :D

[Terry Hatfield]

Karl,

Cameras are never a problem but sometimes the subject mater is a little odd. :D :D

I'll have mine with me and I'm sure others will too. I'll post some pics when I get back if someone hasn't beat me to it.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Terry

Just get on that plane and get your body here brother.:confused::eek::D:D

[Jim Hager]

I like the idea of a road trip this weekend. Where is the show located in KC. I have been there several times and recognize the general area of the location of the breakfast. Since I haven't posted here before and you guys ain't got any idea who I am, I probably won't be horning in on the breakfast. :D

Is the show located at Bartel Hall or maybe at Kemper Arena.?:confused:

I'm an ole agri teacher and FFA advisor. We used to come up there every November for the National FFA Convention. For sure I can find my way to the Hereford House (some really good steaks):eek:

Might should drop in a picture if I may of some of the stuff I do for people. These are some upper cabinets I did for a customer last summer. I had just posted them on another forum and since they were on the clipboard I thought I'd leave them here as well.

[Randy Moore]

Jim,

Come on and have breakfast with us, most of us won't bite you.

Breakfast is at a restuarant called "LePeeps", it is about one long block west of Metcalf on College Blvd (to some people and as reference 111 St) in Overland Park Kansas. The show is just a few minutes away, in that neighborhood.

Again come have breakfast with us, no one knows what I look like or who I am. Look forward to seeing you at 8:00AM sat.

Randy

[Roy Wall]

Hi Jim. Welcome to the creek. The show is at the Overland Park Trade Center, off of Metcalf a ways. You are welcome for the breakfast also.
Nice cabinet.
Steve
Edit. Guess you have directions now. I was posting at the same time. Lol

[Andy Haney]

Thought this might be of help to some. Sure wish I was willing to read instructions about how to post this stuff as neatly as some of you guys do, and I really hope I don't screw it up!
