I am very impressed with the lineup of folks they are bringing in for this.

I've been to some LN seminars at their shop in Maine featuring Chris Schwarz and others - the cost of admission for those has been $50 - this event is FREE!

I like the idea of a "Self Contained" woodworking show without all the other vendors... I am very excited about this

>I think this is a great break for us central New England folks. Thanks Matt for posting this.

I visited the Lie-Nielsen Showroom in Warren, ME and , believe me, it takes a strong will to walk out empty handed. The same day, my wife and I visited Peter Korn�s Center for Furniture Craftsmanship for a tour and a conversation about the school (the gallery of student work was incredible) The other special guests are well known to Woodcentral visitors as well.

I am putting in for a half day on Friday right now.
