Woodworking in America. GREAT TIME

Post by cincinnati »

Just got back from the trade show at the Woodworking in America show in Cincinnati and had a blast!

This show is so great because EVERYONE who is anyone in woodworking is there. (Except Norm)
I helped Scott Phillips hang a banner at the Woodcraft booth and was shooting film for a show next May. Rob Cosman gave me a lesson on how to sharpen a hand plane blade. Tommy MacDonald was there talking about his show. Chris Swartz had his tool chest full of tools out and invited me to get them out and play with them. (yea me!!!) Talked to Ron Hock for a few.
Stopped in for a snack and who came and sat at My table? Tomas Lie Nielson himself. Later he stopped in at the Lee Valley booth and talked to the guys there about hand planes and watched me using a hand plane. (oh the pressure) Got to meet the tool designer at Lee Valley. I could go on and on on all who I got to meet woodworking related.

FYI- Lee Valley was showing their new chisels due out this fall. SWEET!!

Popular Woodworking was selling their annual back issue CD's for a $1.00 each:D . 2000 to 2009 . Now I can toss all my paper issues.

A better question might be how cold and how much average winter snow?

It's cold tonight but back close to 80's next week.

I forgot to add in my last post. I picked up a new item in the Lee Valley catalog and said. "That's a slick idea" How much does it cost. The sales person, Said "here, take it" :) Guess i will have to give it a spin this weekend in my shop. :D

Stihl (The chainsaw people) were at the show. Anyone know that Stihl makes two models of a wet/dry vac? I was surprised at how quiet they were.
