Online Woodworking Show

Show floor photo

Evoking the excitement of a bustling marketplace, the 2006 IWF drew crowds of buyers and sellers.

Hi eZine crowd! In an earlier Woodworker’s Journal eZine, I told you that we'd be sending you a special eZine EXPO e-mail — and here it is! One cool thing about my job is that I get to go to the big woodworking shows — all of them. And the magazine even pays me to do it, how great is that? (Read about my visit to the 2006 IWF.) But I know that most of you are not as lucky as that — until now. This bonus eZine doubles as a virtual woodworking show. We’ve gathered some of the best woodworking products from the recent show (some brand spanking new and some old standbys, visit the New Product Preview) and put them on the web for you to read about and refer back to in the months ahead. To find even more information about woodworking tools and supplies, take a look at the list of eZine EXPO Participants below.
