Good Times at The Woodworking Show in Atlanta!

I spent three awesome days at The Woodworking Show in Atlanta last weekend! I really enjoyed meeting a whole lot of people who watch my YouTube videos and some well-known woodworkers. If you missed the show or it doesn't visit your city, watch my video to see what it's like.

It was so cool to meet so many of my YouTube subscribers in person.  I also got to meet some other YouTube creators and bloggers, like Leldon Maxcy, David Bishop, Dave Gatton, Richard McIntosh, and Frank Kecseti from Glued-n-Screwed.com,  Thanks to all of you for stopping by the Gwinnett Woodworkers booth and saying hello! I gave out 72 of my stickers, so now I need to order more!

Chillin' with Leldon Maxcy

I was able to spend a little money and pick up a few new tools. I got a small machinist square, some V bits for the CNC, and a set of Marples chisels. Thanks to my friend Bob Brokaw for sharpening them for me. I thought they were pretty sharp straight out of the package, but after Bob did his magic, I realized how dull they came from the factory...Wow!

Thanks to David Bishop who brought me a really cool gift - a Van Halen Guitar Cutout! This is going to look great in the shop! This weekend, I plan to be lazy and recuperate after being so busy last weekend, but I'm already looking forward to The Woodworking Shows in 2016!  Hope to see you there!

The Woodworking Shows are coming!

The Woodworking Shows just posted this video about the upcoming shows.  I'm looking forward to the show in Atlanta in March of 2014.  I'm sure our Gwinnett Woodworkers Association will have a booth again and I had a blast helping out in the booth last time.  As if the last show wasn't fun enough, they are making some more changes to improve the show. 

It's especially exciting to see increased focus on getting children involved in woodworking.  The project showcase is being changed to organize projects into different categories instead of lumping them all together which will be a nice touch.  If you have the opportunity to go, I highly recommend checking out The Woodworking Shows! 

Here are some highlights I captured at the last woodworking show in Atlanta.  If you attend the Atlanta show, be sure to look for me and say hello!

Weekend at The Woodworking Show Atlanta 2013

I spent the weekend at The Woodworking Show in Atlanta March 22-24, 2013.  I was helping out with our Gwinnett Woodworkers Association's booth.  In case you missed it or the show did not come to your town, here are some video clips I captured.  There were lots of great demonstrations, tools for sale, and amazing projects on display.  I got a lot of great ideas for future projects.  Stick around until the end to see the Project Showcase winners.  I recommend going to The Woodworking Show next season if it comes to a town near you.  Visit The Woodworking Shows!
