The 2008 Woodworking in America conference is now history. It was a terrific event!
I will leave Berea on Monday morning, but I wanted to give a little peek preview at some things to come to this blog, with both photos and video:
Modern Tools: Tolerances & Myths – left to right: Schwarz, Lee, Sauer, Economaki, Lie-Nielsen:
Dovetailing, two sessions on video – left to right: Klausz, Underhill:
Bevel-up vs. bevel-down planes, video – Schwarz, Lee, Lie-Nielsen:
Forgotten workbenches and workholding, video – Schwarz:
Hands-on clinic: Bench planes, video and photos – not shown here, Deneb Puchalski:
I do not show here some additional sessions I attended. I will have video on a terrific session on Furniture Design, with Kevin Drake and John Economaki.
I hope to provide close to zero or minimal editing to the video, so that you can get the most benefit from the discussions.
This was a great first conference, with a lot going on behind the scenes with the preparations, etc., which were pretty much not noticed by the attendees. But a super effort by the entire group in attendance from Popular Woodworking – a well-deserved KUDOS to everyone who participated in the organization, and to those in attendance!

Ray,
Glad to help! Anyone else who wishes to receive photos of you, please let me know. I will be glad to make sure you receive them without any editing.
Al,
That is me adjusting my jointer plane in photo 5. Is there any chance you can send me a copy of the original file? I took lots of pictures, but none with me in them.
Thanks,

Shannon,
GREAT, indeed! I will be editing when I return home, in a couple of days. Glad to post the happenings right here – and thanks for reading!
Hi Al, It was nice to meet you at the show – I’m looking forward to seeing the videos. There was so much information that it will take months to process, if ever. And I used Google to figure out I had never commented on your blog before – so here goes the first one! / Mattias
Al,
It looks like you had a great time. I can’t wait to see some of your videos. It looks like you had the same schedule I would have had if I could have been there. I am so sorry that I had to miss the event, but thanks to bloggers like you I have been kept pretty well informed.
