As I type this, Lie-Nielsen staff are preparing for the 2014-2015 season of Hand Tool Events®, and once again I look forward to exhibiting at several of them. I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the shows I participated in this spring, as did everyone I met and talked to.
The first of the two Events I will attend in September is at the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking in Manchester, CT on Friday and Saturday, September 19 and 20. Admission to this show (and most others) is free. Full details for these and all other 2014 Events are posted on the Lie-Nielsen website.
Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event® – Manchester, CT
Friday & Saturday, September 19-20
10:00 – 6:00 (Friday), 10:00 – 5:00 (Saturday)
The Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking
The second September show I will attend is at Hearne Hardwood in Oxford, PA on Friday and Saturday, September 26 and 27. Admission to this show is also free. I have been to this show as an attendee several times, and the Hearne Hardwood facilities alone are worthy of a road trip.

Looking forward a little further, there are two other Events this year that I will set up at:
- C.P. Johnson Lumber, Culpeper, VA – October 24 and 25 (I will attend on the 25th only)
- Willard Brothers Woodcutters, Trenton, NJ – November 14 and 15
Remember, the admission to these events is free, and you will have a chance to play with a lot of beautiful tools, as well as talk to other people who share your passion for them. Hope to see a few of you there!
Rats… I was hoping you were also going to make it to the L-N event @ C-U woodsupply in Illinois (Oct31-Nov1) Can’t wait for this to happen!
I’d love to make it to some of the more distant events, but that’s a little too far for me to travel right now. Maybe in the future…
