Its been a crazy week. Ive spent two days at work past midnight and another two at Christmas parties. As the year draws to a close, the to do pile on my desk isnt shrinking quite fast enough.
Im sorry that means this has to pass as my post for 12/21. Im also sorry I had to miss this weeks +Modern Woodworkers Association podcast recording. +Christopher Adkins was able to talk with +Tom Fidgen about his woodworking, his books and much more. Chris is still working on editing, but it will be out soon.
Until next post, I hope youre having a productive holiday and are a bit more on top of your work than I am.
By the choice, here is the state of the project Id hoped to have done for my wife by Christmas. Alas, it will not be.

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.

Some day, this will be a picture frame.

The 17th Annual L.I. Woodworkers Show

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.

Katies Quilt Rack

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.?

Kathis Book Stand

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.
