few years ago, I attended the Woodworkers Showcase show in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and I was amazed. It was the most perfect woodworking show I had ever attended. Why? Because of four things....

I have to agree with John and Chris. I have beeen to the last five shows and will be at this one. It's a great show and as Chirs says you can beat the price.

Sounds great. Now, if only I still lived in Albany....

Aren't you writing a book on woodworking? Sounds like a business trip to me.

Yabbut...the book is due in about four weeks. Taking time out for a trip just isn't something I can do right now. It's 7 days, as many hours as possible per, until due date. There're still some slight bits of photography to do, then I have to collate all the other photos already on hand, which doesn't note that I need time to write about another 10,000 words, maybe more.

I was thinking the same thing...

I agree, no better way to spend a Saturday morning. Nice to see some locals here, I live in Latham and try to make it every year.

Come join us!

General meetings are at the Shaker site across from Albany Airport.

We run an extensive educational program in addition to putting on the Show each year. I've got a class scheduled at the Mid-Hudson shop in Hurley, NY on how to make a drawer with hand tools, including hand cut dovetails... Last weekend of June.
