Woodworking in America 2013 is just around the corner. If you’re planning on attending, I’m sure you’re getting excited about a weekend of non-stop woodworking discussion already. If you’ve attended previous WIAs you know that the talk of - and camaraderie around - woodworking extend well past the actual conference hours of about 8:30 am to 6:00 pm.

| Steve, Niks Dad, Sean, Vic, Kyle & Matt have fun at Keystone |
 |
| We work wood and eat German food (and were loud). |
Beginning at 7:00 pm, we’ll be hanging out in the upstairs bar room at the Keystone Bar & Grill. It’s a quick walk from the convention center and most of the hotels. Meeting at the Keystone on the opening night of registration has become a tradition for WIA and we hope you’ll join us. Many fellow MWA members, woodworking bloggers and other WIA attendees will be there. If you’re going to to the Roubo Book Release, don’t worry. You can join us at Keystone afterwards. All are welcome.Friday: Hofbrauhaus
The Hofbrauhaus excursion on Friday night is another WIA tradition. It’s less organized than the meetups at Keystone, in that we don’t reserve a private room. We just jump on the trolley and head to Hofbrauhaus. It’s a fun night of great beer, great food, great company and loud music. If you’re going to the official WIA Banquet, please join us at Hofbrauhaus afterwards. We usually stay late. If you’re looking to meet us at Hofbrauhaus, there’s no telling exactly where we’ll be, though in past years we’ve started the evening at the outside bar area and then moved to one of the many long tables. Just listen for Tom Iovino and you’ll be sure to find us. All are welcome.
Saturday: WoodTalk Meetup at Keystone
The WoodTalk guys have setup their own Meetup at the Keystone on Saturday night. It begins at 6:30. Since it was organized by and features Marc, Matt & Shannon, you should expect that this will be the smoothest running event of the weekend. Still, it’s going to be an absolute blast and all should come. I know we’re going to try to represent the MWA there in force.Afterwards:
Just about every night some folks will stop by the Behle St Cafe before heading back to their rooms. If it’s late, but you’re still looking to hang out with woodworkers, joint us there. All are welcome.

The Show Is Upon Us
Its Friday evening as I write this. Ive just returned from dropping off my pieces at the 2013 Long Island Woodworkers Show. Im lucky enough to be exhibiting Katies Quilt Rack, Kathis Book Stand & Carolyns Glue Gun Rack (apparently I build most of my pieces for women). This will be my first time exhibiting my pieces publicly, and Im really excited about it. Already the comments I received about the quilt rack as I was checking it in have me pumped.
The L.I. Woodworkers Show is put on by the Long Island Woodworkers Club. Its held in a large timber framed barn on the ground of the Nassau County Old Bethpage Restoration Village. The barn is a wonderful setting showing off joinery more complex then on any of my pieces.
While checking in I took a sneak peak at other pieces being displayed. Im honored to be exhibiting with them. Ill document them more over the weekend and try to share in my Tuesday post, but let me say, there are some talented woodworkers in this club. Besides my wrap up on Tuesday, Ill try to tweet what I can from the show.?
Fall is proving to be a boon for woodworking as this is my 3rd event in four weekend. I hope youre getting a good does of woodworking this weekend too. If youre on Long Island, stop by the show. Ill be there in and out on Saturday and on Sunday afternoon. Please say hi.
