Intrigue, controversy & camaraderie from The Woodworking in America 2008 Conference
This is the 4th and last part from our interview with Neil Lamens of Funitology Productions fame on his last day at The Woodworking in America Conference 2008. In this brief installment, Neil piques our interest with some intrigue at a Woodnet forum dinner during the conference. He also shares a fun story rooted in the controversy of tails first or pins first. Last but not least, Neil got a chance to meet up with Matt Vanderlist from Matt's Basement Workshop and some of the other internet bloggers attending the conference
The 2008 Woodworking in America Conference is sponsored by Popular Woodworking and Woodworking Magazine.
Thanks Neil for a behind the scenes look at the first WIA Conference!

Dave,
I really appreciate all the hard work and time that you put into posting these videos for everyone to enjoy.
I have been finishing my vanity project and I have been continually checking for the latest video posts with much anticipation. It has been great hearing the stories and seeing the excitement that Neil has for getting a chance to meet some of the great names in woodworking as well as the others like Matt Vanderlist, who is making a great name for himself.
It just proves how genuine and great the individuals in the woodworking forums are.
Thanks again for all of your efforts.
Gotta go install now -

Hi Dave;
I have been doing double shifts lately, so I haven’t read your blog, or watched the videos yet. But I did not want you to think I had no interest in them.
Knowing you, they are well worth finding time for. I think I will wait until my mind and eyes of operating at somewhere beyond half mast. (if ever) LOL
Good to see you posting!
Lee
