I'd also like to add my thanks to all the vendors, seminar presentors, fellow rodbuilders and especially to Tom for such a fantastic Show. Can't say enough good things about it! Like others, I went over budget.

I came to Charlotte a couple days before the Show to pick up some madeira thread at their distribution center. Also went to Woodcraft to get a Nova Precision Midi Chuck. Had to take a turn by Harbor Freight as well. Was in the "hole" before Saturday. Haven't added up expenditures at the Show and don't want to.

I go through Raleigh on the way home and decided to take a turn by the Woodcraft & Harbor Freight stores there to pick up some items generated by various seminar presentors.

Whew, what a Show!!

Those NERBs folks do some fantastic work don't they? Great bunch of talented folks.

I learned so much from so many people, including fellow rodbuilders in casual conversations, that I can't list all of them.

Rodbuilders are a great bunch of people. Looking forward to next year.

Stan

Awesome show, hats off and thanks to all of you that worked so hard to make it a really special show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Certainly worth the trip from California. Looking forward to next year. THANK YOU!

Randy.
