Welcome to the forum. I won't be around for this but I wish I was. I'll let the guys know Saturday at our pen turning meeting. I know there are couple of guys who do woodworking besides pen turning.
If it wasn't for last minute, nothing would get done.

Sounds like it's in the parking lot of Harbor Freight on the corner of Asher and University? Nice neighborhood....hang onto your wallet, especially if you go into H. Freight(I caught the fool that tried grabbing mine)
Hope there is goodly amounts of security at the event?

I do have unlisted larger stock not listed on the website. We are always making new blanks, you should stop and take a look!

Great event. I attended the one outside Cincinnati a few weeks back. Great turnout. Left the event with a smaller bank account!

At the Chicago LN event yesterday there was a compact version of the Schwarz tool chest on display. It had just one layer of compartments and a tray above that (that was mia). I was about 10" deep. Sorry no photos. Basically shallow "Anarchist's" tool chest.

I think that's the one Deneb built with the idea that it could hold and show-off the Lie-Nielsen "core tools" kit. The tray wasn't yet completed when they were in KC in January.

That seems about right, Rob. I'm curious whether they brought tools to sell at your event? In prior years they brought a selection of tools to sell. This time they had just DVDs, hats/t-,shirts, calendars. It seems like I generally bought something,
not that I'm impulsive or anything

Full range. About 4 tons in two crates, give or take.
Probably you couldn't buy anything because we bought them all.
However this last January, there was a small snafu with the trucking company and so stuff didn't arrive until the morning of the show when normally it arrives a week before. Bit of a panic. The Thursday evening before the show, they have always made a presentation to the KCWG membership. But this time they didn't have their stuff. So I got a frantic phone call about 3pm from one of the LN crew asking if I could wrangle a few items. We got sufficient things together so they could demo their new sharpening jig and a few other odds and ends.

I'd love to see some pics of this chest.
