Connect to the Craft - The Aftermath

02/04/2009

Connect to the Craft - The Aftermath 4I knew we were in for a killer event the the Philadelphia Furniture Workshop when 20 minutes into Friday the place was crowded and I did my grinding demo in front of 20 people. The incredible packed attendance for both days tells me that there is a real need for more events like this in the PA/NJ/NY region.

It was wonderful meeting all of you and putting faces to the names. A big thank you goes out to Alan and Mario of the PFW for hosting the event - and being great hosts. Also a big thanks to Adam Cherubini, Chris Storb, Bill Grumbine, and Jim Blauvelt for volunteering their time to give incredible demonstrations all day. Of course a big nod to my colleague Tim who worked the entire show with a bad cold.

The whole point of this open house was to let people see what the school has to offer and also to see what furniture making is all about. I learned stuff just listening to Mario do a veneering lecture from afar (I had to stay in my booth). I would have learned a lot from Chris and the others but they were really too far away from my booth.

We had a great time!!!!!!

PS - thanks to Kari Hultman of villagecarpenter.blogspot.com for the picture of the booth. For more pictures of the event visit her blog.

Joel, it was great to meet you and the other presenters. I agree that events like this seem to be popular in this area. The smaller venue, compared with the huge ww fairs, is more intimate and personable.
