Woodworking Editors and Authors in Google+ Hangouts, Episode No. 1

Getting back is hard to do.

This episode aired on Google+ and YouTube on June 14, 2012. I am getting back into woodworking, following a seven-month hiatus. Please read on.

This is the first episode in a new series in Hangouts on Air. It was important to me, as I start preparing mentally to re-enter the shop after a seven-month absence. And avoiding injury has been on my mind; as a result, this was a perfect opportunity to kick off this series, and to get answers to the source of my anxiety – *safety in the shop.* Many of you know I have been preparing to become a Certified Court Interpreter (English < > Spanish) in Missouri, USA – thus the reason for my absence.

I hope other woodworking magazine Editors, book authors, and woodworking bloggers will accept my invitation for a chat in the near future, to talk shop, tools, safety, process, design, etc.

Today I invited the following woodworking colleagues into a hangout:

+Asa Christiana, Editor of Fine Woodworking magazine,

+Matthew Kenney, Senior Editor, Fine Woodworking magazine, and

+Dyami Plotke, of the +Modern Woodworkers Association

to chat in a Google+ hangout about safety, upcoming events with Fine Woodworking, and hand tools vs. power tools in the shop.

My thanks to all participants. Please stand by as I announce additional woodworking hangouts!

Audio-only file: For portability I have split the audio portion of the video, and uploaded it to the Internet Archive. Download it to your portable device, and enjoy listening to the chat while on the move: Click here.

    Al -

    Good luck on your examination on the 23rd!

    The KCWG open house will be that same day but I expect you will be quite busy. It would be great if you could drop in.

    See you soon!

      Thanks, Rob! I take the Oral Exam in Jeff City at 10:30am. There is no way I can make it back in time to catch even the last, closing minutes. I will come down to visit, at the next Guild meeting (I hope).

      Please spread the word about this new series to the Guild membership. Thanks!

    Al, it will be great to see the Sandal Woods blog and your input back in the mix. I always looked forward to your input, your point of view and your inclusive nature of making everyone feel welcome and their opinions or comments not only recognized, but respected even if it did not agree with your own. You are a gentleman.

    Now with Google + in your tool chest I only expect it will be more interesting. Good to see you back in the “Wood State of Mind” ! Thanks, and Happy Fathers Day!
