New Tools Galore!
When you get this email, I will be heading to Atlanta, Georgia with my press credentials for the International Woodworking Fair (IWF) clutched tightly in my fist. This every-other-year event is a gathering of all that’s cool, new and innovative in woodworking from all over the world. The Woodworker’s Journal staff will be searching the halls for great stuff, then doing video interviews and posting them on the Internet for you to view. You’ll be able to see what’s hot and what’s not from the pleasant comfort of your home. (I’m not saying August in Atlanta is excruciatingly hot…OK, that is exactly what I am saying.)
