As the Show Turns

It’s late on Sunday night, the sawdust seems to have settled and the tools are all packed up. The Canadian Home Workshop Show is over. In the Woodworking 101 interactive area, showgoers built 285 wine racks designed by Jennifer Hart. Tim Alexander, the designer of clocks built in the Kids’ Corner, and his team lead young woodworkers through more than 300 projects. All weekend long, I saw happy people leaving the International Centre with new tools and machines that they had picked up at the show. And I, like many others, had a chance to learn new tips and techniques and to catch up with friends and contributors to our magazine. Man, it was a great show. See you at the next one in November.

I take a turn at the lathe with guidance from Derek Dix.
