The Woodworks Show

Jack Guzman from Maine

>Looking through my November Popular Woodworking I saw a familiar two-page ad with Frank Klausz' smiling face on it advertising the annual Woodworks Show. It seems the show is going to make it to my neck of the woods this year,Portland Maine. Hopefully a few other WC posters will show up from this usually neglected area.---Jack

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

Try a breakfast get together

>Ernie Miller started a breakfast tradition for the annual "The Woodworking Show" when it passes through Kansas City. We have about 18-20 attend a breakfast get together before the Saturday opening of the show. We get a slightly more private seating area at a breakfast/lunch place just a mile or so from the show location. I have a whole e-mailing list for our regular "members." We usually do some show and tell and there is also some tailgating.

>I'd like something like that. Only problem is you need people.In two trips to Springfield I ran into one WC poster. Hopefully this Portland show will be better.After these things I get a grasp of how universal(as in not local)Woodcentral is and I feel a little isolated in my little corner of the world.---Jack
