NWA Woodworking Showcase

This weekend I will be at the NWA Woodworking Showcase in Saratoga Springs, NY. I will be sharing a booth with Raney Nelson of Daed Toolworks.

If you are considering going I will urge you one last time to make the trip. It's a great show. There is a large vending area but the focus is on the product, not the tooling. There is a professional/amateur competition that gets hundreds of entries that run the range from 14' adirondack boats to 3" william and mary miniatures.

If that's not enough Lie-Nielsen Jeff Noden, Chuck Bender of the Acanthus Workshop (where I will be teaching a class in May), Bob Van Dyke of CT Valley School of Woodworking (where I will be teaching a class in July) and many, many more will be there.

Still not enough? Chris Shwarz will be demonstrating.

Ok, ok. I have one last draw...



BIG PINK will be there!!!

I will see you at the show.

  2. Chris Shwarz and son of Roubo, who cares, with an appearance from Big Pink it makes this show a must see.

    More important is the piece finished for the juried competition? I seem to recall seeing the legs in the corner of a recent post.

    See you there.

  3. Jim,

    Is the show this weekend? I forgot and thought it was next. I don't think the finishing schedule is going to work out.

    Seriously, yes, you saw the legs in the corner of a recent post. I tripped over one today and almost fell through a window. 2012...

    I'll see you there.
