May caught me by surprise. I only realized I needed to do the monthly shop tour on the fourth.
Since the April tour, Ive not done too much, but the progress is slowly marching on. Ive begun to install the outlets in the wall and Ive got ever more half-finished projects in the shop. See for yourself.

You can see all of the 2013 Shop Tour Videos here.

A Trilogy of Great Confrences

The past few years have been a boon for woodworking conferences. Popular Woodworking starting things with Woodworking in America. Last year Fine Woodworking joined the fray with Fine Woodworking Live. This year the inaugural Weekend With Wood brings Wood Magazine to the game also.

What could be more fun than a room full of woodworkers?

For my reader who’s been following along, youve heard me rant about how wonderful woodworking conferences are. If youve not heard my spiel, they are wonderful. It’s great to take classes from some of the best in the business (true, no matter which conference you attend) and it’s even better to spend a weekend with fellow woodworkers.

Two of the three magazine sponsored events are on sale now and the third will be out soon. If you can attend any of them, you really should.
