Charles Neil in Tucson this Weekend

Woodcraft in Tucson is hosting a woodworking show this Saturday October 15th, 2011. Charles Neil will be in town at the show then doing a series of classes this weekend. Classes include "Best of Finishing", "Making the Flame Finial", "Scooping a Chair Seat with Ease", and "Compound Mortise and Tenon Joints Made Easy".

I'll be attending and helping out for all the classes (you know, the gopher!) and would love to see you there. Living in Chandler, Tucson is just 90ish minutes away and a pretty easy drive... so if you are in Phoenix, make a day trip out of it. If you want to car pool any of the days, write me at HalfInchShy at gmail dot com (you have to know the spam scanner can figure that out, but just in case...)

I'm already signed up! I'm dragging the 5th wheel to Tucson, instead of driving 2 hours each way.

Anyone up for dinner / drinks on Friday evening? See you all there!

Excellent news, Gerry! Dunno about the others, but I'll be driving in Saturday morning for the woodworking show. Likely only going to stay overnight on Sunday night as I have some personal things going on Sunday morning.

So I think every night is game for your plan; we just need to figure out where!

Some Projects

Angle Madness! a diamond-shaped entertainment center.
Tim Burton Table a five-legged demilune that would fit naturally in a Tim Burton film.
Sculpted Mahogany Vanity a wall-mounted vanity with a granite top.
The After-Earthquake Detector a fun project with the Bridge City JMPv2; this is John Economaki's project we built as a WIA'11 demo.
A small card box was a project Charles Neil created and I needed a Christmas present :) This was the first project in the No Comment format.
Quilted Maple Picture Frame was a project for my best friend for a massive painting he got on his honeymoon.
Floating-Top Figured Eucalyptus end table was a quick one-day build; the finish took longer, naturally :)
French-knot Walnut Inlay in Cork Floor was making the landing for my stairs; super easy.
Jewelry box inserts was mostly a project to show using the Bridge City JMPv2 and HP-6v2 plane; add gilding and it's more fun.
