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.)

Who's Roy Underhill?
Who's Roy Underhill? Are you kidding?!? You've got to be trying to get my goat. "The Woodwright's Shop," ever heard of it?
I thought he died, since his show isn't on anymore.
His show is still on, the local channels don't carry it at the time it shows for some reason. They usually air them after the season has wrapped up whenever they have a blank programming spot. They should drop everything on there and run Woodwright's Shop and "Alone in the Wilderness." And cooking shows. That would be sweet.
Does my picture show up now? I can't be the only one leaving comments without a picture. Isn't Roy Underhill the neighbor of Tim Allen on that show Home Improvement?
You're retodded.
