Travling to Myrtle Beach SC - Smoothplane - 08-05-2015
I am planning to spend some time in Myrtle Beach SC next January.
Any suggestions for woodworking/hand tool/rust hunting spots to check out in that general area. Also any suggestions for must see attractions or good barbecue joints would be appreciated.

I always go to Bennets seafood. There are a few. Calabash style and I like crab legs. If you want any rust hunting I bet you would be better served driving an hourish north toward Wilmington, NC. I have bought several decent things there. Never anything in Myrtle. There is a big "antique store" in Myrtle, it may be in North Myrtle I can't remember. They are waaaaaay overpriced. Like a #8 with no iron or tote for $100 a couple years ago.
Myrtle is pretty touristy if you like that sort.

Myrtle Beach is all about golf and surfing, and the so called flea markets are just junk shops with flip flops and cheap jewelry. Nothing there of interest to most of us.

In January, you'll find Myrtle Beach pretty much shut down. It is built on the Summer tourust trade and most of the restaurants, attractions, etc. close or scale way back in the winter.
That makes it the best time to go...Bennets will be open...no lines...no traffic....

If you have time for a day trip about 90 minutes south, you are welcome to stop by my shop. I am down sizing a life time tool collection (several hundred items). There is a wonderful barbecue joint in Santee SC called the Lone star barbecue and mercantile. The food is good and it is like a trip back in time to the 1930's. Hope you enjoy the trip

Is that an open invitation?
We will be staying in Manning on the way home from Tampa later this month,
Of course, LOML is traveling with me, so someone might veto the detour.
