Woodworking fest 2016 in Moscow
Last weekend 11th annual Woodworking fest took place in Sokolniki park, Moscow. 11 years ago this event began as a meeting of several passionate woodworkers in a private workshop. Each year number of participants was increasing. Last year more than one thousand persones from different regions of Russia participated. I guess this time number of people increased even more. It was first time when I decided to join this event.
On the fest various masterclasses, competitions, exibitions, tools, machinery, literature on woodworking, carving, wickerwork, turning, marquetry etc. were presented.
Here I post a short photo-report on the event.

Masterclass on japaneese woodworking by Russian woodworker Valery Mescheryakoff:
Demonstration of a jig:
And eventually most exciting moment for me at the Fest . I have taken a masterclass on turning from Tanzanian guy Juma. It was my first time on turning. I've turned some exercise piece and got a lot of joy. Now I am going to buy a lathe.
I am going to visit the Fest next year again. And may be I will take part in a competition.
May you all be happy!
