The Show is Over, a Special Thanks.


This was the best, show I've ever been to. Customers and tool makers were really looking forward to it and from all I've heard it didn't disappoint from either side.
Jameel Abraham (and his family) deserve a special thanks for all the time and effort put into organising the show, let's hope they'll be another.
The tool chest shown was made by Chris Schwarz, but the hard part was immaculately done by Jameel, a very talented woodworker.


On a personal note, I couldn't have done the show justice without the use of a good bench and what a fine one it was. Provided by Mark Hicks from Plate 11 http://plate11.com/
Mark had a great show as well, selling all but one of the benches he had there.


And finally many thanks to Brian Buckner for the excellent BBQ as well as tirelessly running around making sure everything ran sweetly. See y'all next time!

      I agree, everyone did have a great time customers and suppliers alike. I'm sure that will be grounds for another even bigger show. All the best, David.

    Thanks for making the trip David. You really are as great of a guy as you come across on the videos. Thanks for making us all better woodworkers.

    As an Iowan furniture maker, I'm really happy this show has been such a success. Here's to more in the years to come. Thanks, Dan

      Thank you Dan, I'm glad you appreciated the demonstrations. I'm sure on the strength of this show there will be others. All the best, David.

      Hi Simon, Don't talk to me about work lights! This was the first which lasted one day. The second more expensive one lasted about 30 minutes until I broke the (one and only) bulb with my hammer. This was followed by a period of dovetailing in the dark until I was rescued by Jameel and Brian Buckner with a battery powered LED, which survived until the end. Sounds like Henry 8th's wives! All the best, David.
