Final weekend was Woodworking in America 2025, the place woodworkers throughout the nation gathered collectively on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The weekend was kicked off by an open home at Woodsmith studios, then two days filled with displays and an exhibit corridor with distributors displaying off their instruments and machines.
These gatherings all the time convey out passionate woodworkers. Each single class was filled with attendees taking notes, asking questions, even introducing new concepts. Getting the possibility to pop into courses and catch the joy from the gang is all the time such a enjoyable expertise. The matters different in one of the best ways, and I took house nice data from each single one I attended. Beth Eire set me up for fulfillment the following time I go to the lathe, and Bob Benkhe has me considering extra critically about how I take advantage of wooden glue.
Being surrounded by different woodworkers over the weekend is just one among my favourite issues: I by no means should reel in my pleasure and pleasure over what I do, and the folks round me really feel the identical approach. I extremely counsel attempting to make a woodworking present in your space, particularly as most of us are alone or working solo quite a lot of the time.
We recorded this episode of Store Discuss Stay at Woodworking in America. Alex Dolese and Shea Alexander had many phrases of knowledge to share with the viewers. From Shea’s new discovery with mineral stain in wooden, and Alex’s dedication to respecting wooden motion, it makes for an ideal episode, which we’re joyful to share with you!
