Who all is going to the Greensboro Symposium from 11/7-9? I will be spending the weekend up there, but only registered for Saturday, as I have some other things I want to do while there. I hope to run into some of you!

I have plans to be there Saturday but that could change due to another commitment, which I’m trying to reschedule. I’m a little disappointed with the small number of vendors scheduled to attend.

I am one of those vendors, so make sure you come by and check out the LatheEngraver!
I believe it went live on the website now, but I will be cutting pewa/butterfly/bowtie pockets on site for anyone that needs/wants them in a piece. The piece just needs to be chuck-mountable, or on something that already has 1.25"-8 threads.
Yeah, I noticed that too. This will be my 1st symposium, so I was hoping for more tool vendors. Hopefully more will sign up.
I’ll be there, hanging around Paul’s booth when not at demos..
I will definitely check you guys out!
I'm registered for the weekend. On Sat I'll wear a bright red, burgundy or blue WoodCentral shirt (I just counted, I have 18 WoodCentral shirts in various colors - what's WRONG with me? - don't answer that...)
Maybe a blue John Jordan "Life's too short to turn crappy wood" shirt one day.

I look forward to meeting you and other nearby turners, John!
Maybe you could get everyone here to hurry and turn a wooden hat and wear it so you can find them. I've never made one. When I visited a friend he had wooden cowboy hats all over the place. I always call him when I get large green wood and knew he turned hats but I had no idea how prolific he was.
I have yet to attempt a hat, but as far as I know, the king of the hats is Kevin Felderhoff in the Brevard area, whom I still somehow haven't met yet, but hope to at some point.
I didn' know about Kevin but looked him up - nice!
We had Chris Ramsey come for a club demo about 10 years ago and turn a cowboy hat. He brought his Oneway on a trailer. It was amazing. I got a good seat at the front left so I could take some photos. He also made a mirror frame from a ring cut away at the start - maybe everyone does this.
Last time I was in the Kentucky Artisan Center I saw more of his hats. I was too poor to buy a bunch. Or even one.

I can wear my tie-dyed Led Zeppelin tour shirt for easy ID-pretty sure it will be the only one!
