I learn a lot from the other presenters (this year Peter Follansbee will be there) and the food in the town is quite good.Ĭheck out all the details of the show on the organization’s web site. Perhaps not.īut it will be worth the effort. I am thinking about installing some heavy-duty casters on the bench plus a trailer hitch.
So somehow I have to muscle this 300-pound bench into an as-yet-undetermined vehicle and trek 700 miles. This year I’ll be demonstrating hand-tool techniques (surprise) plus discussing the workbench, where it will be on display in a special exhibit of benches at the show.
(Bring your spouse, the town is charming and scenic.) If you live anywhere in the Northeast, it is definitely worth a long drive. The show is one-third education, one-third furniture gallery and one-third selling floor, with high-quality vendors. This year the Showcase is March 26-27, and it is one of my favorite woodworking shows, both as an attendee and as a presenter. When the Northeastern Woodworkers Association came calling I agreed to bring my handmade Roubo workbench (the one featured on the cover of the August 2010 issue) to its annual Showcase in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Normally I don’t like to begin a story with a question (or an adverb), but: What Was I Drinking?
