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!
