Here's a quick shop update video about what's going on in and around my workshop. I haven't done one of these in 8 months so it's long overdue. There are a couple of cool events coming up and I've got some new project videos coming soon. Below the video are links to everything I mention in the video. Check it out!
The Woodworking Show in Atlanta was a blast! It was nice having the show in my home town. In this video I share some clips of the exhibitors, some selfies with other YouTube woodworkers, and pictures and video from about 25 people who visited my shop.
Here is a picture of the crowd at the Video Woodworkers booth. It was a pleasure meeting lots of other woodworkers and many people who watch my videos. If you missed the show, I hope you can make it to the next one where the Video Woodworkers booth appears.
This week is going to be a busy one in the shop with projects going on, plus The Woodworking Show is coming this weekend. I'm looking forward to a 4-day weekend hanging out with my YouTube woodworking buddies and meeting people who watch our videos. If you are in the Atlanta area, stop by The Woodworking Show at the North Atlanta Trade Center this weekend and say hello!

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!
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 Show is coming to Atlanta this weekend March 7-9th. I will be there all weekend helping with our Gwinnett Woodworkers Association booth. If you are in the Atlanta area, come check out the show and stop by our booth and say hello.
I know there are a lot of woodworkers out there who are unable to attend woodworking events like these. So, I plan to to put together a video recap after the show so you can see what it's like to be there. Until then, check out my video recap from last year.
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!
