The Ron Brese hand planes

 

My friend Ron Brese makes amazing hand planes:

Some hand planes by Ron Brese

I hope to see Ron in Cincinnati in a few weeks. And if you are also attending the Woodworking in America conference, you can try your hand with Ron’s hand planes.

A pair and a peach at WIA

.

Question:

What do you get when you have Megan Fitzpatrick, Peter Follansbee, and Roy Underhill on the set of The Woodwright’s Shop?

Left-to-right: Underhill, Fitzpatrick, Follansbee

You get the wonderful photo above. Photo by Mike Oniffrey – courtesy of “The Woodwright’s Shop”.

Bonus

They will appear together in a future episode of The Woodwright’s Shop – date to be announced. Stay tuned!

I had never seen all three in one spot; as a result, the photo is quite special to me. I have followed the work of these three craftsmen for several years, and never tire of their offerings, whether on video, or on the blogs.

One more thing

Yup! All three will be teaching at the Woodworking in America (WIA) conference, September 30 to October 2, 2011, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Make sure to look at the schedule of classes at the WIA web site; it will allow you to plan your schedule not only for classes, but also to visit the Marketplace, and the extracurricular activities.

But you must move quickly

The Early Bird registration deadline for the conference is August 14, 2011.

I know – if you are like me, you tend to wait around ’till the last minute, and work out some creative scheduling with your co-workers, to finagle the time off to attend the conference. Regardless how you do it, I encourage you to register ahead of the expiration of the Early Bird special.

Will I see you there? Let me know if you are attending – I would love to meet you!

Your turn

  • Will YOU attend the conference?
  • What is most important to you at such conference?
  • Renew old frienships or acquaintances?
  • Learn new woodworking techniques?
  • Or just get away from your Significant Other?

In a few weeks, Woodworking in America

 

I don’t think  It is official: The Sindelar Tool Museum will be at Woodworking in America in Cincinnati this year (edited this, as a result of Megan Fitzpatrick’s Comment, below). But I wanted to share this photo of the wagon placed at the entrance to the trailer housing the traveling exhibit:

On the wagon at entrance to the Sindelar traveling museum.

I would love to hear from you:

  • Are YOU planning to attend Woodworking in America this year?
  • If you are, what attracts you most to the conference?
  • Are you yearning to learn new techniques?
  • Or are you going to spend most of your time at the Marketplace?
