The Woodworker’s Showcase was larger than I had anticipated. Although I had precious little time to wander around, there was an impressive array of woodworking talent on display, ranging from small carvings and turnings to a teardrop camper and Adirondack guide boat, with a little bit of everything in between.
I was able to meet several online friends, and was encouraged (and a little surprised, I must admit) to hear that a few people have actually read this blog or portions of my website.
By far, however, the most exciting highlight of my weekend was watching a handful of kids pick up and try some of my saws. Watching their shock at being allowed to play with real tools give way to the excitement of cutting all on their own was immensely gratifying, and was enough to make the trip worthwhile.
