Once the marketplace lectures were over, we commandeered the bench and setup our microphones. We discussed the event this year with some great guests. modernwoodworkersassociation.com

This Thursday night, the Modern Woodworkers Association and Wood Talk are sponsoring a meet-up for folks coming to the Woodworking in America event in Kansas City, Missouri. Spectators is located inside the Sheraton Crown Center Hotel. As in years past, this will be a totally casual affair, with people welcome to stop by once they arrive and get settled. See you there!

I have no doubt in my mind that the chance of me felling a tree and then taking the time to hand hewn it is pretty much zero. But that didn't stop me from attending one of my favorite classes this year at Woodworking in America 2013. The opportunity to sit in Roy Underhill's class "TIMBER!!!" to see him demonstrate an aspect of woodworking that is so far out of my scope of accomplishing, was worth every second I sat in the lecture hall. I will admit there was some morbid curiosity as I wondered if something would happen when he started swinging the axe for real, but what I discovered instead was that the more Roy swung a tool, the more I learned. The more Roy sent wood chips into the audience, the more I understood how and why it might be important to learn how to hand hewn my own log…although I still have no idea when I'll ever do it. Perhaps you're into timber framing or just really want to try something like this yourself…because you have a fireplace mantel just waiting to be made out of that pesky tree in the yard?…attending this class was a great way to get my experience at Woodworking in America 2013 off and running.

At the top of my "woodworking things that intimidate me to tears" list you'll find woodcarving somewhere in the top 5, definitely far below "magnifying glass pyrography". Considering I took the plunge not so long ago and faced my fear of woodturning, and currently I'm alive and not noticeably maimed (thanks to tricky camera angles at least), I figure it's time to start knocking one or two more off the list. Thankfully this year Mary May returned to Woodworking in America and taught a couple of classes on woodcarving. Before I go any further, if you're not already familiar with Mary she's an amazing woodcarver who's taken the time to not only teach her art form at conferences like this or in the occasional class at a woodworking school but more importantly (as far as I'm concerned) she's taken the next step and opened an online school too. But more about that below… The two classes Mary was teaching this year were "Carving Life into Leaves" and "Linenfold Carving". The footage for today's post is from the linenfold class and has been edited to show more of the actual tool work and even Mary's body positioning at the bench to give you a feel for what you could learn if you were to sign up for her online classes. This isn't meant to be a sales pitch by any means, but considering what I learned just from sitting in the audience and watching I can only imagine what I'd learn if I were to start following the lessons with my tools in hand repeating the action she's teaching on the videos. Do I see myself becoming a full on woodcarver down the road? Probably not. But it would be really cool to feel confident enough with my tools and a basic knowledge of the craft to occasionally embellish a component or two on a project!

And if you join, you'll also find this linenfold project as one of the many available lessons to watch and learn about. Help support the show - please visit our advertisers

This year I decided I really wanted to take a class or two on topics that normally I wouldn't be drawn towards. In the past this usually meant something to do with turning, carving a linenfold or leaf and especially nothing to do with hand-hewing a log. It's not that I don't think they're worthwhile topics, it's just up until now my interests at Woodworking in America have been more about bench tools or projects that I see myself doing as soon as I got back to my shop. You know…topics I'm kind of familiar with already. But this year I obviously threw all that out the window! It's pretty safe to say that the majority of my classes went against the grain of normalcy for me. And I can honestly say it was worth it! For today's video it's a visit to Peter Follansbee's "Carved Spoons". I have no idea when I'll ever carve my own spoon(s), but after only about 30 minutes of watching Peter split a log, then shape it into a spoonlike blank, I was hooked. Unfortunately I didn't make it all the way through the class, so I don't have the finished spoon footage to share (it was lunchtime and someone else was buying that day…), but I think you'll quite easily get an idea of what a great class this was. Thanks Peter for keeping me entertained and actually sparking an interest in me for something I still can't believe I'm looking forward to trying sometime in the near future. To learn more about Peter and to checkout all the things he has going on that might be something you'll be looking forward to trying out too, visit his blog at pfollansbee.wordpress.com.

We chat with Megan about the upcoming Woodworking in America 2015. It's looking like it'll be a great show and it's guaranteed to be a wonderful weekend of talking woodworking with friends.

Woodworking In America 2012 isn't until mid-October, but it doesn't hurt to start planning now if you'll be attending. I have it on good authority there's still plenty of openings for woodworkers to sign up, and attend what has become a perennial destination for anyone passionate about woodworking. This year's conference has a little twist to it. Rather than one big weekend, the folks at Popular Woodworking Magazine have taken a gamble and are offering two full weekends of some of the best woodworking lectures, vendors and get-togethers modern woodworkers have ever known. For the past few years, attendees and those who wanted to be attendees, have been asking for Woodworking in America to travel west of the Mississippi river. This year they're doing just that by holding the first of the two weekends in Pasadena, California. And as everyone knows, out west they do things they're own unique way. The West Coast WIA conference will be no different! With speakers and events specifically planned for the first of the 2012 conferences you'll find seminars and a few vendors you won't find any where else. But not to be outdone though, the 2012 Midwest WIA conference promises to be equally amazing and filled with all the best speakers, vendors, events and of course all the things we've come to expect from Woodworking In Americas in the past. For more information, visit the Woodworking In America website where you'll find everything you need for both venues. And if that still doesn't answer all your questions you can also email Megan Fitzpatrick Megan.Fitzpatrick@fwmedia.com (or any of the Popular Woodworking Editors) to get information on both the event and anything woodworking related. ...Of course listening to today's episode isn't a bad idea either!

On this episode of the podcast Matt and I discuss the new theme and talk about Woodworking in America …

As I mentioned Monday the countdown to Woodworking in America 2011 is on and in full swing. I hope you plan on attending the lectures or at least make it for the marketplace, it's like walking into the most amazing woodworking store ever! Imagine asking the tool makers themselves about the item you want to buy vs a sales person (no offense sales people LOL!) Today's episode is the second compilation of previously unseen footage I recorded. This time it's from the 2009 Design and Construction conference in St. Charles, IL. Again, I wish it could've been more, but that's not fair to the presenters and way to much to download. On Friday I'll post links to many of my previous episodes that were released each year, including the 2010 Conference. So come back to check that out. function recordOutboundLink(link, category, action) { _gat._getTrackerByName()._trackEvent(category, action); setTimeout('document.location = "' + link.href + '"', 100); } Help support the show - please visit our advertisers

A quick look at Woodworking in America 2010: the marketplace, the sessions, and the people!

A quick look at Woodworking in America 2010: the marketplace, the sessions, and the people!

WOODWORKING IN AMERICA 2010 has opened the doors for would-be attendees to register and plan their schedules for the upcoming October 1-3, 2010 conference. As someone who's had a chance to attend two of the Woodworking in America events I wouldn't hesitate to suggest people sign up and come out to see what it's all about. This year's Woodworking in America is in the backyard of the crew making it all happen, Popular Woodworking Magazine, and they've added some more bells and whistles to make it even bigger. But rather than listing it all here take a listen to what Megan Fitzpatrick, Managing Editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine has to say about ALL the festivities you'll find when you attend.
