This past weekend I was in Berea, KY for the first ever Woodworking in America conference. This was a hand-tool only event put on by Popular Woodworking magazine. I'm going to get right to the meat of the matter. I got to meet Roy Underhill. If you don't know who he is, shame on you: google his name. He is to the right of Frank Klausz.
This is Adam Cherubini in period costume. He is a presenter at Pennsbury Manor.
I listened to seminars from the likes of Roy Underhill, Frank Klausz, Adam Cherubini, Brian Boggs, and Christopher Schwarz. My head is still swimming. And I haven't washed the hand Roy shook either. I ordered some saw kits from Tools For Working Wood, an awesome little company in New York that has some incredible hand tools. So after I finish the beds, I'm building saws. I also got to have a beer with Brian Boggs, Michael Airiou, and Alfred Sharp. What a treat.
Now all I need to do is finish the girls' bunk bed. Then it's on to a Nicholson style workbench, a tool chest, a salt cellar, a trestle table for the dining room, a bench and chairs for the table, a boat of some sort, traditional cross-country skis... I would like to make an 18th century flintlock musket this winter, something like a Tulle Fusil-de-Chasse, or a Northwestern Trade Musket the likes of which Chingachkook and Uncas used in Last of the Mohicans. I need more wood and more time.

(I would love to build chairs like Brian Boggs does. I'd also like to sell chairs for 1/10th of what we gets. My oh my.)
