...and here's the link to the event!

In addition to a terrific turning symposium, you get the NWA Woodworker's Showcase, too! This year featuring not only amazing furniture pieces but hand-made instruments, too.

Hi Brad, I'll be there....picking up some butternut from Lakeshore Hardwoods to finish my kitchen! I may not have a turning in the show this year, just too busy.

Planning on it

steven antonucci

Already spoke with Jerry McCaffrey (my roommate and travel buddy). We go up to see Doug Thompson and brought Mike Hunter with us last year.

I agree it is a great event. I look forward to going every year. I may not bring something to the IG this year (PITA getting stuff registered)

They have evidently changed the instant gallery registration procedure. No advance registration. Could be a good thing, could be a zoo.

Reservations made and dinner sounds good Brad.

Pencil me in lightly

Ellis Walentine

I used to lecture and judge the competition at the old NWA Showcase and I've been back almost every year when I was able. I'm not sure about this year because of a major project, but I'll do my best to make it. Normally we come up on Saturday morning and leave early on Sunday, so Friday night probably wouldn't work for me.

Maybe I can bring some WC hats and sweatshirts. It's usually pretty chilly up there at that time of year.

Thanks for getting this together, Brad.

Sorry to say

mike foster

that I'll miss it this year. First time that I've missed this event since I moved to Vermont. I think that I missed the very first TT, maybe 2, before I moved here, but have gone ever since. It is a great show. Wonderful turning demos, but I also love that it is combined with the NWA Showcase. Lot's of amazing skills on display in about every thing you can think of made from wood. Lots of good food as well.

Sadly I booked a week on Assateague Island and will be spending time looking at wild horses, migrating birds and visiting an old friend from Alaska and my son who lives in Baltimore. But I'll be thinking about all the great things I'll miss in Saratoga.

I'll be there. I better be, I am bringing Hans Weissflog up to the event from Pa. on Friday. I should be free for dinner.

Don Orr

I'll be there since it is my club hosting the event. I rearranged my volunteer duties so I could have both days free this year for the 1st time in many years.

I'm in for dinner either Friday or Saturday.

Thanks Brad!

Sounds like a good idea.

That's Correct Alan

Don Orr

We will register our pieces at the check in table just like at the AAW symposium.

Pieces for judging will be in a separate area this year to make it smoother for the judges and those assisting them.

I'm Shooting For Dinner on SATURDAY, 4/2

I'll be there, wouldn't miss it.....

Doug Ladendorf

Looks like I'm going and (hopefully) bringing my 15 year old daughter. She likes to make jewelry and I've had her turning a bit. Maybe she'll get the turning bug.

Would love to join you Brad. Program looks real good and it would be great to renew acquaintances and make new ones. Just put together a budget and since our exchange rate is a killer these days, a $1000 dollar weekend nudges $1500 pretty fast. I think it is out of the question this year. Have only attended one TT and that was back in Albany in 2007, which was an excellent weekend.
