Ryan, Kyler, and Paul wrote in with glowing reviews of Woodworking in America. For some it was the first ever woodworking conference while others had previous experience with the show. In all it was a positive vibe with a lot more focus on the presenters and less on the marketplace. The general feel is that we hope the show continues and can keep the smaller, education focused feel.

• Karter has a neighbor with great tools that he uses from time to time and asks how he can suggest that neighbor buy more tools so he can have his cast offs.
• Mark is resawing on his table saw with a small 8 1/4" blade and asks how he can get better results.
• David was recently given a bunch of wood and asks for resources to learn about which species are best for what application.
