If you are seriously in the woodworking
business, chances are that you will be in Atlanta this week attending
the IWF ... aka the International Woodworking Fair. The IWF has long
been the venue where the newest and coolest of woodworking tools and
gadgetry is first revealed to the public.
For that reason, the
woodworking press - yours truly included - descend on the show
floor in a manner that would make a ravening locust swarm look like a
walk in the park. This year, the Woodworker's Journal gang
will be on the floor in force, and covering the shindig with
extraordinary electronic panache. This will allow you, o gentle
reader, the opportunity to see what is new and exciting at the speed
of light (which is roughly 186,282 miles per second).
We will be creating video reports
regularly that will be broadcast via a special blog; there's not much there yet, but keep an eye on your inbox for an email later this week once the show is in full swing.
You can also get easy-to-share Internet updates on our Facebook page. And finally, for those sweet-tweeters among you, look for a
constant flow of Twitter tweets.
So, if you are perhaps feeling bad that
you are not at the show ... our coverage might just perk you up.
