Check it out! The official announcement appeared at the Woodworking in America web site. In addition, you will want to read Popular Woodworking’s Megan Fitzpatrick’s update on the Conference.

The best hand-tool workers in America have been invited to this event. The list is a Who’s Who of Woodworkers. But also some of the top woodworking bloggers will be there, “…to interview attendees, toolmakers and teachers, and share their impressions of the conference online…: The Wood Whisperer (aka Marc Spagnuolo), Matt’s Basement Workshop (aka Matt Vanderlist), The Village Carpenter (aka Kari Hultman) and Furnitology.com (aka Neil Lamens).”

Hope to see everyone there - I am trying to get better with my hand tools. I cannot think of a better gift Sandy could give me for our 41st wedding anniversary! Now, if I could just find a comparable, wonderful present for her… suggestions humbly accepted… a foot-powered scroll saw? … a magical carving tool, since she already has the Powercrafter? I keep searching, folks!

 

 

About Me

My name is Al Navas, and I live in NW Missouri with my bride of many years. We are both woodworkers who love to be in the shop together, sharing wonderful times. She is a woodturner, and also carves and does pyrography. I do what many call flat work, which includes jewelry boxes to blanket chests; armoires to entertainment centers; church altars to prayer kneelers; custom cabinets to rustic furniture. In our “spare” time in the shop we make toys, bird houses, etc., for our granddaughters. In late 2007 we finished serving as officers for the St Joseph Woodworkers Guild.
