Part 2: Ah, wood shows
Yes, today Rick and i headed to a woodshow in the region. We went to check out lathes. Lathes… hmm that’s an interesting topic. Let’s go there for a moment. We first looked at lathes in our local big box store and asked about lathe tools. They don’t carry them. “Why not?” we asked. Well, it seems that once someone buys their lathe tools they don’t usually by many more so they don’t sell a lot. Ok. That makes sense—almost. They probably don...
Part 3: Canadian Home Workshop Show (2)
Saturday, March 1, 2008 Today, Rick and I went to the Canadian Home Workshop Show in Toronto. When we first arrived we were allowed to go in early because I had the Awards Winners poster to be put on display at the Steel City Tool Works booth. Next, we made our way to the Master’s Workshop where I found Ryan Servill preparing for his day. Ryan, over the duration of the show was building a duplicate to this cabinet. The quote from the Show Magazine says, ” Watc...

Part 5: St. George Ontario
Dec. 6/08 Last night Rick and I went to St. George, to Morley Miller Machinery. For their Christmas Open House they had a some company reps present to answer any questions about their products. In attendance were representatives from Steel City, King Canada, and BlackJack. We checked out a number of gadgets at the BlackJack display, including some sanding drums that attach to a drill press. You just cut your sandpaper to size, slip it around the drum, slide it into the drill press ...
Part 6: Canadian Home Workshop Show, Toronto 2009
Feb 28, 2009 Rick and I headed to the Canadian Home Workshop Show in Toronto this morning. First we headed to say hi to Ryan and check out the tool chest and draw prize that he spoke about in his blog. What a wonderful guy. Always nice to see you, Ryan! (I thought it would be fun to have my picture taken, showing what I will look like when I win the prize). And here is the chest filled with tools. Next, we wandered around all the exhibits. One display that I had not seen ...
Part 7: Woodstock 2009
October 2/09 Rick and I attended the “Woodstock Wood show” (Ontario Canada) this morning. It was a beautiful rainy day—perfect weather for trekking around in the mud and getting chilled through and through. But—it’s a wood show. You can’t go wrong. The crowds weren’t huge but then it is a Friday morning and it is raining. I spoke to some of the familiar faces: Jim McEntee from Steel City and Paul Fulcher, from Canadian Woodworking to ...
