Tips for beginning a woodworking business online

The Final Mantels

It’s been a long time coming, I know.

These are the Mantels I built and installed for a wonderful client, the Stavoe Family, Memorial Day 2012. All built from solid walnut with pine seconds, sprayed  with Shellac and General Finishes Enduro-Var.

Classic Dining Room Mantel

You’ll notice that the fireplace is not centered on this peninsula wall. So the family and I worked together to design a mantel that went straight to the wall in the corner. This design is more classic and formal. It’s a very thick top and is screwed upon a French cleat.

Craftsman Sitting Room Mantel

This peninsula wall divides the space into the dining room and a sitting or reading room. From other areas in the house you can see both sides of the peninsula wall, and both mantels. So the family and I wanted the materials and proportions to be the same, even though the style will be less formal in the sitting room. This mantel is also screwed upon a French cleat.

Walnut Slab Family Room Mantel

The last mantel is in another area of the house, the great room – where the kitchen, eating, and play areas come together. This mantel is made to look like a solid walnut slab, but it’s not. There are threaded inserts recessed in the bottom for stainless steel christmas stocking hooks. This was the install I had the most anxiety about, but it slipped into place on cleats very tight and sturdy.

Woodchat Transcript March 15, 2012 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern

@DJOfurnituremkr: What is tonight’s topic? #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @tumblewood @tomsworkbench @dyamiplotke @mansfinefurn Can one of you run #woodchat tonight? It’s my daughters birthday.

@RenaissanceWW: @uppercutwood aw c’mon just start off with “pins or tails firs?t” then walk away. They’ll be busy for a while with that one #woodchat

@Tooltutor: So what’s everyone building now that all your new benches are done? #woodchat debating starting a built-in desk build before the nursery

@uppercutwood: Hey #woodchat I won’t be around tonight because it’s my daughter’s birthday, but please have woodchat without me http://t.co/RvI4yfOP

@Tooltutor: Happy birthday to Mrs. @uppercutwood I’ll be absent from #woodchat too. It’s my wife’s birthday.

@DJOfurnituremkr: Looking forward to a walk with Porter in the woods then some time on #woodchat.

@Tumblewood: I’ll see ya there! RT @DJOfurnituremkr: Looking forward to a walk with Porter in the woods then some time on #woodchat.

@ramblinrdesigns: @sharpendwood What I should be using (to transport on the run) or what I really use, because I use a lot of buckets. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: Hi all, what’s the topic tonight? #woodchat

@mamader: evening all #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: Checking in, but may have to leave early. Shop project deadlines are looming. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @mamader Hola #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: Saw a crazy guy on a motorized scooter today…with a labrador between his legs. That was nuts. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Computer’s running slowly, but I made it to #woodchat.

@ramblinrdesigns: Today’s feed is very slow. Is anybody here? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Is there a topic for #woodchat tonight?

@FromTheWoodshop: @ramblinrdesigns yup. was wondering if I was the only one. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop @ramblinrdesigns There’s at least three of us. That qualifies as a crowd, right? #woodchat

@CoolToolShed: evening all! #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: I talk to myself enough during the day, didn’t want to do it at night as well.. #woodchat

@kweinert: I’m here tonight. #woodchat

@HighRockWW: Hello #woodchat small crowd tonight?

@FlairWoodworks: Who’s running the show tonight? Any topic? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I’m here for a little while. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: Well, if it’s just us I think the topic for the night is up for grabs? > #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: So do you work on multiple projects at once, or one at a time? I’m a little stretched out on the multi tasking at the moment. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns Definitely multiple projects. #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @FlairWoodworks I was about to ask you the same thing… #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: How often do you take time to modify tools to make them work well for your purposes? #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @ramblinrdesigns typically have 4-5 irons in the fire at any given time #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @DJOfurnituremkr whats up dale #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: Multiple, I have two cabinet on stands I started more than a year ago. Perhaps this will be the year of completion. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: I sometimes find myself going to bed thinking one through and wake up with another one making the rounds. #woodchat

@kweinert: Right at the moment I’m only turning stuff so it’s pretty single threaded. I have glued up some segmented stuff while turning tho. #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @ramblinrdesigns I usually have one big project and several small. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @HighRockWW For example, I’m currently writing five different blog posts and have many more drafts started. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 Hi Mark, keeping busy. The warm weather makes the phone ring for some reason. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Not so much tools, but I create new jigs all the time. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Uh-oh. These dovetails don’t look quite right. http://t.co/TWaAJBtF #woodchat

@woodshaver101: I focus on one at a time just to stay intune with the design #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 Also thinking about getting involved with selling Japanese tools. #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @DJOfurnituremkr thats a good thing #woodchat

@CoolToolShed: Working on one project always leads to ideas for another! Multiple projects are a way of life! #woodchat

@kweinert: when I was doing flat work (logic puzzles mainly) I did create some special purpose jigs. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @woodshaver101 Sometimes I run out of inspiration so I set the project aside and work on something else. #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @FlairWoodworks with blog post I am the same I always have several in progress, but they are often based on ongoing projects. #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: Hey guys, have a great #Woodchat. Sorry I’ll miss it. I brought way too much work home.

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks That was a good one. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @DyamiPlotke Multi-task :) #Woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 Hows the office job going? #woodchat

@woodshaver101: its hard to make money by jumping from one job to the next.been there done that #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: So, besides participating in #woodchat, what else are you doing right now?

@HighRockWW: @DyamiPlotke it’s ok I rarely make it to #woodchat anymore.

@woodshaver101: @DJOfurnituremkr its sold waiting for the material to get laid up.may have sold a kitchen also #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @FlairWoodworks putting my daughter to bed. #woodchat

@kweinert: @FlairWoodworks waiting for a segmented stopper to finish drying, trying to turn from a log for the first time. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: outside of woodworking, what’s everybody’s other interests? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 That’s good news. Next week I enter the Ozaukee County Art Show. Hopefully I’ll win another blue ribbon this year. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @kweinert Beware of flying water if the wood is that wet. I rusted my jointer bed from turning soaking-wet wood. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Building two boxes (fancy), one wavy shelf, two nightstands, painting a house and working at Woodcraft part-time. #woodchat

@CoolToolShed: cleaning out the pellet stove #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns How’s it working for Woodcraft? #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @FlairWoodworks i just finished a slipper chest for my wife #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @FromTheWoodshop Guitars #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Oops, forgot two bathroom remodels on the schedule too. #woodchat

@kweinert: @FlairWoodworks Just cut today. Picked up some plum and ash from tree trimming by my workplace today. thanks for the warning. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @DJOfurnituremkr building, playing or both? #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: There’s life outside woodworking? #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks I love working there. I get new leads all the time from walk-ins, plus a good employee discount and free shop use. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @FromTheWoodshop Playing, but hope to try my hand at building acoustics some day. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: No. What made you think that? :) RT @WatkinsWoodWork: There’s life outside woodworking? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @DJOfurnituremkr There are a couple high-schools in my area that build acoustics in woodshop. #jealous #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Also, being around so many woodworkers, you learn lots of new things all the time. #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @DJOfurnituremkr how about some lessons #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @WatkinsWoodWork unfortunately; the real world isn’t quite as interesting (at least for me).. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Ha ha ha…RT @FromTheWoodshop: @WatkinsWoodWork unfortunately; the real world isn’t quite as interesting (at least for me).. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @ramblinrdesigns @flairwoodworks that brings up a good point. Where so u guys drum up your best leads from? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 I supposed to start teaching my Goddaughter soon. She’s about 7. #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @FlairWoodworks #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @WatkinsWoodWork architects and designers #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FromTheWoodshop I can relate. All I want to really do is live/ breath woodworking. Real is getting in the way #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @WatkinsWoodWork I’ve been doing renovation work for 16 years. All of my new jobs come from referrals. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @WatkinsWoodWork For me, it’s word of mouth. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @DJOfurnituremkr I have a friend that makes acoustics with http://t.co/8YlMvCrL He made one for Johnny Cash w/ pearl inlays. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @WatkinsWoodWork If you do good work, the jobs will come to you. It also helps to spread your card around in social settings. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: When you make something, do you document the process of how you made it? #woodchat

@woodshaver101: Ive been playing around with designing using the Fibonacci numbers, #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: I feel a little like a fish out of water; my business is about yacht repair (which entails alot of woodworking) but not solely.. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks I’m taking more photos now than I used to. Posting to facebook and g+, plus for my website. #woodchat

@mamader: @FlairWoodworks I try too. But I find myself making progress on it and realize I went over 20 steps that I should have pics #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @FromTheWoodshop Cool! Building guitars, violins etc is a great skill. #woodchat

@HighRockWW: @FlairWoodworks I always keep my camera close at hand. I take lots of pictures but still feel I should take more. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks And SketchUp is essential. I try to realistically capture all the joinery there. It helps me plan things out. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: Hoping to move more in that direction (woodworking) but too much overhead to make a leap of faith #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: For the bloggers among us, do you feel that blogging about woodworking stuff does anything for business? #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FlairWoodworks I usually try to take pics as I progress but just started toying with filming the process as well #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @FlairWoodworks No, just interests other woodworkers. #woodchat

@TheRealNeal: Hey everyone. Sorry I’m late. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Shannon’s blog led him into the Hand Tool School. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @DJOfurnituremkr It does give you some authority though. Agree? #woodchat

@woodshaver101: nice chatting.got to go. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks creatively yes; as far as prospects not as much.I find that it’s mostly fellow woodworkers that follow these blogs #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FlairWoodworks not overly. But I have received some interest from non ww through it. Nothing paying yet but someday #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @woodshaver101 See ya, Mark. Thanks for stopping by. #woodchat

@mamader: @WatkinsWoodWork I have tried videoing a couple times, I have found it slows me down too much if I try to talk to the camera. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks Depends of if anyone is reading!! :-O #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @TheRealNeal No problem. We are just chatting tonight. Feel free to bring up any topic you’re interested in. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @FlairWoodworks True. I thinks clients take a look see at times but face to face is still the best interaction. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: That’s just it! RT @FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks Depends of if anyone is reading!! :-O #woodchat

@JustSqEnough: @FlairWoodworks some day to day pros I know and follow have said no. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Talking about video… could you guys vote on the poll at the end of this post please? http://t.co/XX3W7VKD #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @FlairWoodworks @FromTheWoodshop yes, for me, its alot of work for the 20 people who read it. I only write to document for me now #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @MansFineFurn The more you blog, the more readers you’ll get, as a general rule. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @MansFineFurn Nobody frequents a stale blog. #woodchat

@mamader: @MansFineFurn I hear you there, I average about 6 visits a day on my blog. hard to justify the time. #woodchat

@JustSqEnough: @FlairWoodworks done,I like a mixture of video and written #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: I’m trying to use video to bring people to the website, and provide additional info (blog) to keep them coming back. #woodchat

@JustSqEnough: @FlairWoodworks hey! Don’t insult my blog ;) #woodchat

@mamader: @FlairWoodworks Agreed, in fact I need to do a new post on mine, over a month since my last post #woodchat

@HighRockWW: #woodchat good night all. Gotta run.

@FlairWoodworks: @JustSqEnough :) #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @FlairWoodworks given you’re one of my few readers (I think) you know when I write, it’s not a short bit, it’s hours of work #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @HighRockWW Bye Chris! #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @MansFineFurn And video requires even more time. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: I haven’t entered the blog world as a writer. Been too busy with everything else. Do like to read others though. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @MansFineFurn Hmm… try posting something and see how many visits you get that day. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Writing makes me think and so I learn a lot that way. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: Web hits are all about SEO #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the shear volume of blogs out there. I was following rss feeds for awhile, but I can’t keep up. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop If you want traffic, use these keywords: Laguna, Sawstop. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FromTheWoodshop What is SEO? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns I probably spend 15-30 minutes a day keeping up on 80+ RSS feeds. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FromTheWoodshop keeping them coming back is all about content #woodchat

@JustSqEnough: @ramblinrdesigns yes, my google reader is overflowing #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns Search Engine Optimization. I don’t know much more than that. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I’ll start making more posts on my blog once I get more involved with projects for upcoming shows. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: You’ve got it! RT @FromTheWoodshop: @FromTheWoodshop keeping them coming back is all about content #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FromTheWoodshop Agreed. Especially quality content. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @ramblinrdesigns search engine optimization (i.e. meta data and key words used in each of the posts, page header and description) #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: I do a lot of writing after the noise curfew. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns Quality of information and entertainment value both help. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @MansFineFurn @flairwoodworks Writing blog posts? That’s what the day job is for. Wait did I say that out loud? #woodchat

@JustSqEnough: Cigar time folks, later.. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks I live on an acreage, so I don’t have to worry about the racket I make. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks you’re fron Canada? I thought the only noise there is from the whispering pines (like where I’m from) ;-) #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: No, that’s when I sleep :) RT @WatkinsWoodWork: Writing blog posts? That’s what the day job is for. Wait did I say that out loud? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Yup. I’m 20 minutes outside of Vancouver. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Is that good or bad? RT @ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks I live on an acreage, so I don’t have to worry about the racket I make. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns As in, you’re not forced to stop working. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: Question for video watchers; what’s more important: professional content or an entertainment factor (and a little info)? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @JustSqEnough Later, David! #woodchat

@CoolToolShed: Wouldn’t targeting multiple readers of various ww’ing experience be better? #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: I curious to see how many spambots follow me tomorrow. They seem to be gravitating to woodchat. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Generally, I’m hoping to learn something, but you have to keep me awake too :) #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Correct, only sometimes that is a bad thing. I lose track of time when I’m in shop mode. #woodchat

@CoolToolShed: Having multiple posts showing simple projects and some showing more complex in different catagories? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns I just got hit by (at)clarettajukrb #woodchat Spam ‘em back!

@BillGriggs: Hello everyone. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @BillGriggs Hi Bill! #woodchat

@TheRealNeal: @FromTheWoodshop definitley content, entertainment’s a bonus. #woodchat

@GarageWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Content #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FromTheWoodshop depends in the content. But overall I would say entertainment. U have to keep them watching. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks That can be tricky; how much detail is too much? Gear it towards beginners or advanced? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Do it all! Talk about fox-wedged tenons, but explain it from square one. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @BillGriggs Hey Bill ! #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Or you could do a two-part thing – Video 1: Basics, Video 2: Advanced #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FromTheWoodshop @flairwoodworks Exactly. That’s why I cut my GROZ plane review/tune up into 4 pieces. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @FlairWoodworks evening Chris #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FromTheWoodshop Detail is great, but video lengths have their limits. Better to have several shorter segments than 1 long one. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: I’ve seen enough videos on lapping a sole. RT @WatkinsWoodWork: That’s why I cut my GROZ plane review/tune up into 4 pieces. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @ramblinrdesigns Beth good evening. Writing frequently is better than long posts with a long period between posts. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks That’s an idea; LOTS of editing though #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @FromTheWoodshop Hey Andy. What you working on. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop It could be as simple as stopping the camera between segments, but it could be very involved. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: For video, what’s your length limit (how long is too long?) 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, etc… #woodchat

@kweinert: I’ll bet the first one of you that produce videos that link together like the ‘write your own adventure’ books will have a winner. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Generally, 15 minutes. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @FromTheWoodshop 10 minutes seems to be about the limit of most peoples attention span. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @kweinert I’ve seen a music video like that. #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @BillGriggs Spring has sprung so for me the next 6 months are going to be all about keeping very expensive boats looking great #woodchat

@GarageWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Ten minutes. I break mine up if too long. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FlairWoodworks precisely. The newbies that haven’t can watch the howto and those that just want the meat can watch the final. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FromTheWoodshop I’d say 20-30 minutes max. If it takes more time, do more parts. #woodchat

@kring_l: hi all just catching up #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: David Savage is experimenting with short segments no longer than 1-2 minutes and unedited. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @FromTheWoodshop I say 10ish. But then again I also posted 1hr up to blip that is getting views #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @GarageWoodworks I’ve found that successive videos lose viewer interest.. Do you see that as well? #woodchat

@atully1: @FlairWoodworks #woodchat I’m not sure if you can tell by this pic how dark the lighter wood turned. http://t.co/DjJBMf2q

@BillGriggs: @kring_l HI Jim. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks That’s too short. Can really cover anything in detail. That becomes more of a commercial. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @FromTheWoodshop NO. They work for the WoodWhisperer. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: David Savage’s site is http://t.co/5VcMSBQc and you can sign up for his e-newsletter at the bottom #woodchat

@GarageWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Not really. I do find that I lose people if more than 10 minutes. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns I agree. Too much work to get to the video for the end result. I mentioned to him about making it into a playlist #woodchat

@kring_l: @FlairWoodworks alot of titles are too long and part 1 or part 2 get cut out of description, annoying #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @BillGriggs But, he’s the WW !! #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @atully1 Are you talking about the wood in the background? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: Time to go visit with Michele & Porter for a bit, see you next week. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop @BillGriggs If he shouted, he wouldn’t have to repeat himself so much. #badjokes #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @DJOfurnituremkr See you, Dale. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: Anyone ever use wood bleach? I have some maple with a small stain (worm trail?) that I need to get rid of. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @FromTheWoodshop Yes he is! But he didn’t start that way. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns SAVE THE CHARACTER :) #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @DJOfurnituremkr G’Night~ #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: An interactive music video for you to enjoy later: http://t.co/GLipXY70 #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: “@FromTheWoodshop: @BillGriggs But, he’s the WW !! #woodchat” And common. Who doesn’t want to be like Marc? #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @ramblinrdesigns Do you use wood bleach to die your roots? #woodchat

@atully1: @FlairWoodworks #woodchat http://t.co/Sg2Qrnjp

@FromTheWoodshop: Other than WW video’s what else do you search for online (video content) #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @FlairWoodworks Ordinarily I would but this is for a commercial space to cover a beam and it won’t look right. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @ramblinrdesigns No, I’ve never used bleach. #blasphemy :) #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Music. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: @BillGriggs Nope. Still a natural blond (but probably not for much longer!) #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FromTheWoodshop Maybe I should qualify this Q; keep it clean!! :-) #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @FromTheWoodshop Yeah, I was thinking that too! #woodchat

@BillGriggs: hahaha #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Ok. Gotta go find something to eat before the #Canucks game. #woodchat

@ramblinrdesigns: Looks like we managed to kill a perfectly good hour. I better get back to work now. See you next week. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Damn! RT @ramblinrdesigns: Looks like we managed to kill a perfectly good hour. I better get back to work now. See you next week. #woodchat

@kring_l: anyone have an opinion stanley 62 low angle jack plane for shooting board? #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @kring_l Good choice. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: @kring_l Make sure the plane is tuned and blade is SHARP! #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: Yea, gonna step outside and listen to snow melt and enjoy the clean smell of the woods!!) #woodchat

@BillGriggs: Good night folks. Go make something. #woodchat

@kring_l: @FlairWoodworks thanks i will #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @BillGriggs Later Bill! #woodchat

@kring_l: night @billgriggs #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @kring_l G’Night!~ #woodchat

@FromTheWoodshop: @FlairWoodworks Seems like they play everynight!! At least according to your tweets ;-) ~ #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @FlairWoodworks wish I could have. Estimating & editing proposals takes focus. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: At a point I will start writing for the buyer. RT @DJOfurnituremkr: @FlairWoodworks No, just interests other woodworkers. #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: I like how @tumblewood is catching up on #woodchat by himself!

@DozersWorkshop: @FlairWoodworks @tumblewood shoot, I just now got caught up #woodchat

@Tumblewood: And now all caught up. Good discussion. RT @FlairWoodworks: I like how @tumblewood is catching up on #woodchat by himself!

@WatkinsWoodWork: Hmmm only 7 spam bots from tonight’s #woodchat that’s like a new record.

@MansFineFurn: chatting about wood with #woodchat, indeed #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland welcome Eli! Thanks for coming tonight as our special guest. Did you bring the waffles? #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: I agree! RT @uppercutwood: “Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy” – Ben Franklin #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: Dang, and I’m in to a glass of red wine… #woodchat

@UserOfWood: @uppercutwood yes it was Ben that said, beer me! :) #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: it’s all good, Tom. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: So, Eli, I’m sure we’ll have some questions from the woodworkers, but how would you like to start? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @uppercutwood …I forgot them… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @WoodworkGuy You got that right… #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @TomsWorkbench I will be in the shop, but doing home improvement not woodworking. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland how about start off telling us about you (for those that don’t know you) and then dive into a #WoodExpo2012 intro #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hello all !!! How is everyone tonight? #woodchat”

@DyamiPlotke: Hello #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @Wood_Jedi Hello. Great here, it’s #woodchat time

@uppercutwood: By the way, if you want a quick and easy way to help other get involved with woodchat, send them to http://t.co/4FooiUAo #woodchat

@theboisshop: Welcome @EliCleveland. Glad you could make it tonight. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: RT @EliCleveland: @uppercutwood Alright, let’s see how well I can summarize. I’m a furniture maker in Boston, MA. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: RT @EliCleveland: Since it started, I’ve been working on Rough Cut with Tommy Mac as a Tech. Advisor among other things. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: Welcome to #woodchat @EliCleveland

@Torch02: Good evening, #woodchat. Don’t know how long I’ll be up, but I’m here until bedtime

@uppercutwood: @theboisshop Rob are you still in USVI? crazy man. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hello @EliClevland #woodchat

@ThomOlsen: I have an old particle board desk that broke out one of the quick fasteners, any way to fix that break? #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: Woot! So happy to be on twitter during #woodchat today.

@SMeekWoodworks: Good evening ya’ll #woodchat

@theboisshop: @uppercutwood I am indeed woodchatting on the beach right now. Wife thinks I’m nuts, but wouldn’t miss it. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hey @Torch02 and SMeekwoodworks #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @ThomOlsen Yes, burn the desk and build a new one #occupywoodshop #woodchat

@EliCleveland: Hello, Jedi. 4 years ago Tommy got a chance to show his work at the New England Home Show. Since then, we’ve built the WoodExpo. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @theboisshop I’ve gotta agree with your wife #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: What does the wood expo have that the other shows don’t? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate, did you make it yet? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @theboisshop Bastard… #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @ThomOlsen: …any way to fix that break? | Epoxy maybe? #woodchat

@ThomOlsen: Hahahahahaaaa! I bought the desk back in the 60′s and it has a lot of memories “carved” into it. Wood prefer to keep it. #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: @theboisshop Dedication. Nice. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @EliCleveland how is it working with ol Tommy? He is a trip! #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: the woodworking shows are coming out of the, ahem, woodwork… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Sorry I’m late. Getting pieces ready to glue up #woodchat

@asliceofwood: Hey everyone #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @InGrainWoodwork In short, consumers. It’s held within the Home Show. It gives makers a chance to interact with buyers. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @WoodworkGuy snort #woodchat

@Tumblewood: Rob, are you back from the Virgin Islands already!?! #woodchat

@TheRealNeal: Almost missed it! Evening all. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: HEY TIMMMM @asliceofwood!! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Tumblewood Vic, glad you’re here. @EliCleveland was introducing himself before we dive into #woodexpo2012 #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @Wood_Jedi Working with Tommy is a daily adventure. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hello Vic @Tumblewood good to see you. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland How large of a geographical area does the home show advertise to and attract from? #woodchat

@BillGriggs: Good evening everyone. #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Hey, I think I finally got the hang on this #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @SMeekWoodworks evening, Scott. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @theboisshop You ARE nuts…over a WIA midget hooker! #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: Hey @EliCleveland, glad you could join us. I definitely need to make it to a Wood Expo at some point. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @BillGriggs Good evening Bill. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood No, Vic, he’s still kickin’ it Caribbean style #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: Thanks for the follow Matt! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @Wood_Jedi Hey Laney #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @TomsWorkbench I just saw that #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @BoatworksToday Welcome Andy, I just watched your first intro video on @MBWpodcast’s site #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Tumblewood You… still… with the midget hookers. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: Hi guys, I can hang out for a little while. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @BillGriggs how are you tonight? #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi You on dinner break from the shop? #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr Dale, glad you could make it. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @WoodworkGuy Good evening Jeff. I worked in the shop today….. Cleaning. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood Yes, on this link https://t.co/v7HuFsyE #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hi DJOfurnituremkr glad you could make it #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @DJOfurnituremkr Hey Dale! #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @Wood_Jedi Great Laney. How about you? #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: Looks like a full crown in here! #woodchat

@theboisshop: For those interested in what the #woodexpo2012 is all about, this is my take from last year. http://t.co/lddGSffA #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @uppercutwood I can’t find the numbers, but it attracts people throughout New Eng. and I think ads are a 60 mile rad. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: I need to drag over one of the ends and work on it while we’re chatting #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @asliceofwood.. you know i live in the shop..lol..im on the shop computer…it was perfect timing…waiting for glue to dry #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @InGrainWoodwork makes the conversation better #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @uppercut Still have a few things to learn about this video thing.. Good to hear someone watched it :-O G’even Fellas! #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: I am doing very well Bill :O) thank you for asking #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland Do you know how woodworkers can find regional shows like #woodexpo2012 in their area? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I’ve been on a good run lately making new items. Small stuff to bring to shows and sell on Etsy. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @EliCleveland – do you find working in front of a crowd at #woodexpo different from being on the set of Rough Cut? #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi i’m surprised you haven’t replaced a kitchen table with the tablesaw/router table. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hello @BoatworksToday!! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: I can only say anecdotally, NE Home show is BIG draw, I assume bigger, now that #WoodExpo2012 has been added #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @theboisshop Yes! Rob did an excellent job representing the craft and himself, which are two foci of the show. #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: For all you #woodchat -ers. I discovered this awesome place with LOTS of woodworking books. And they let you take them for free! The Library

@BillGriggs: @DJOfurnituremkr Do you have pictures of some of your projects or a link to Etsy. #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: @DJOfurnituremkr Off tonight’s topic, but how are your Etsy sales going? #woodchat

@UserOfWood: @EliCleveland how may makers will be showning #woodexpo2012 #woodchat

@RenaissanceWW: hey #woodchat, how you doin’

@BoatworksToday: Took me a little bit to figure out how this works. Feel a little like a Re-Re it took so many tries.. #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: @DavidJUlschmid I always am walking out with at least one bag full! #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @EliCleveland I wish the show wasn’t so far away. I’m still hoping to have something in it next year. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @RenaissanceWW Welcome Shannon #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @EliCleveland how long have you been woodworking? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Hey @Wood_Jedi! #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @DavidJUlschmid The Library? What’s that? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @uppercutwood Guilds and clubs often have contact with organizers. We’ve reached out to a number in NE. I hear MWA is good 8) #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @asliceofwood… I would never eat on my tablesaw..LOL #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @RenaissanceWW Shannon good to see you #woodchat

@hmwoodworks: @DJOfurnituremkr how do you find etsy for selling smaller items? Have been debating whether to give it a try. #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: @DJOfurnituremkr Hey! Me Too! I wondered if any other #woodchat peeps were on Etsy. What is your shop name? I’m http://t.co/8wawmfNg

@Wood_Jedi: So @MichaelAgate… the room moves pretty fast doesnt it..lol #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Does anyone know of a directory of regional shows like #woodexpo2012? #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @BillGriggs Sure: http://t.co/1cIUpASW #woodchat

@Torch02: @RenaissanceWW reminder – decouple twitter & facebook for #woodchat ;-)

@DyamiPlotke: Does the mix of home show & wood show result in some uninterested folk who were only there for the home show? #woodchat

@RenaissanceWW: @uppercutwood @Torch02 I’ll probably just be lurking tonight, knee deep in site work and video editing #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @MansFineFurn Home show gets about 20,000 visitors each year. 25% purchase home furnishings within a month of the show. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @SMeekWoodworks Not bad, eight sales in three weeks. I’m slowly building a more diverse inventory. Candle holders today. #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: @DavidJUlschmid My shop is Going with the grain, nothing for sale right now #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood Nothing of that caliber. WoodExpo is more a design consortium, from what I can tell from Neil’s description #woodchat

@theboisshop: @RenaissanceWW Just let us know when it’s safe to talk about you ;) #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @EliCleveland 20,000… dang… #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @DyamiPlotke my impression is that the inverse is true. people there for the homeshow wander into the woodexpo and are interested #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland that’s a fantastic stat. That’s 5,000 sales in one month in a 60 mile radius. #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @EliCleveland @uppercutwood there is a great MWA chapter in Seattle. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @RenaissanceWW I’m knee deep in a bench #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @RenaissanceWW Saw you’re doing a server upgrade.. Hows it going? #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @DavidJUlschmid just added you to cirlce on etsy #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @DavidJUlschmid I really like the live edge on that box. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @DavidJUlschmid I’m: http://t.co/1cIUpASW #woodchat

@uppercutwood: BTW I started a G+ hangout #woodchat

@EliCleveland: At trade shows, people seem reluctant to interact, for fear of a sales pitch. Home Show folks seem pleasantly surprised. #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: @RenaissanceWW I’m going to have to do some website work soon myself. :) #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: RT @uppercutwood Does anyone know of a directory of regional shows like #woodexpo2012? #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @uppercutwood I think the draw is much larger than 60 miles, beyond the ads. this show’s been around for many moons #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @EliCleveland any difference in price of products from trade shows to home shows? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: There is a woodshop near me in town that closed down a lot of great tools and machines for sale I need to go and take a look! #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: @EliCleveland That’s a great stat. I wonder how that compares to other home shows? I’m guessing higher than average. #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @Tumblewood We try to open people’s minds, consumer and maker alike. So we show a variety and encourage discussions. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: So if you only have enough cash for one show this year which one is it? #Woodchat

@jth: @Tumblewood I’m waiting for a show to make it to Minneapolis… #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @uppercutwood I don’t see it, Matt #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: So how many of us are on Etsy and how many of you are on CustomMade? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @uppercutwood just searched for it.. didn’t pull up? I’ll try again #woodchat

@EliCleveland: We do critiques where students and newbies got to hear what Glen Guarino, Allan Breed, and Phil Lowe thought of their work. #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @jth I’m way over here on the west coast #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @DJOfurnituremkr Bocote looks nice. What is the finish you used. #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @WatkinsWoodWork I’m probably headed to WIA12 in Cinci… #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @WatkinsWoodWork I’m probably headed to WIA12 in Cinci… #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Im actually going to WW in America this year… thats the show Id like to make it to #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @SMeekWoodworks I believe NE Home Show is the biggest. #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @SMeekWoodworks I believe NE Home Show is the biggest. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: RT @jth: @Tumblewood Im waiting for a show to make it to Minneapolis… You and me both! #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I haven’t been to a show in 10 years. I think mainly because my interest is more Japanese tools & joinery. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @WatkinsWoodWork I have hotel booked for WIA Cinci #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @EliCleveland That’s what I’m most looking forward to (next yr). Neil asked if I wanted to show, but nothing built I can show! #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @BillGriggs I tend to use T&T varnish oil most often. #woodchat

@Furnitology: Hi all been reading for a while #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @WoodworkGuy Now, that’s fast! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr what about shows that are like #woodexpo2012 instead of like #WIA12 #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @TomsWorkbench go early for best rates #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn you have got to go see the show and blog about it #woodexpo2012 #woodchat

@asliceofwood: Whats the take on “The Woodworking Shows”. Worth going? Go for 2 days or all 3? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @Furnitology Hey, Neil! For those who don’t know, Neil’s been a huge part of organizing the WoodExpo every year. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Furnitology welcome Neil how are you man! Where is @celamens? #woodchat

@DyamiPlotke: @EliCleveland I don’t mean to compare trade shows to WoodExpo. I was wondering about it compared to woodworking conferences. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @Furnitology speak of the devil! #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: Here is my Etsy store: http://t.co/mSWxxxQL I guess I need to add items for sale again. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @uppercutwood I’ll have to check into that one. #woodchat

@McPhersonDoug: I’d love to go to one, mostly to meet people (ya’ll), but I also need tools, ah and a garage. Want shop out of basement. #woodchat

@theboisshop: @Furnitology Hey Neil, welcome! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @uppercutwood I’ll be there!! http://t.co/edkImz2z I’m sure @theboisshop will also write on it… #woodchat

@Furnitology: @WatkinsWoodWork depends on what you are looking for. Education go to WIA to show your work Woodexpo #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @WoodworkGuy You booked your hotel already.?? man that is smart!! I didnt think you could book early..lol #woodchat

@swedishiron: Hey @EliCleveland @Furnitology I’m reading along as well. #woodchat #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @Wood_Jedi I’ve learned that you get best selection and choice booking early #woodchat

@Furnitology: @uppercutwood doing fine Matt Thanks…hey Rob with Pain Killer in hand #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @DyamiPlotke I haven’t attended the other conferences, but we love having the interaction with consumers, which I think is unique. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @Furnitology: … depends on what you are looking for. Education go to WIA to show your work Woodexpo
@uppercutwood: @Furnitology Eli has been telling us about #woodexpo2012, anything you want to add? jump in! #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @WoodworkGuy I have never been to a show, thought i needed to get more involved and get my name out. So I will be attending! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland would love to find a show like #woodexpo2012 in the seattle area. @DarrellPeart goes to Pasadena for Craftsman Wknd #woodchat

@EliCleveland: Hey! @swedishiron is another member of the team for WoodExpo. #woodchat

@sharpendwood: Great discussion #woodchat! Kid and dinner melting down so only lurking tonight.

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate, when are you starting on the spice cabinet? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @Wood_Jedi It’s good to spread the word that you are out there… #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @SMeekWoodworks I made a few of these today, still need finish: http://t.co/JOA1IC88 One is a 7 candle. #woodchat

@celamens: @uppercutwood @furnitology wish I could be make #woodchat tonight. Taking care of football equipment for youth football w/ an ex-Lute!

@WoodworkGuy: @Wood_Jedi Glad to hear! I’m looking forward too. Was going last yr but had to cancel #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi are you going to the woodworking show in tampa? #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: @asliceofwood I Didn’t go this year. Too Commercialized, more home show than woodworking #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: Thanks @Furnitology, @swedishiron, and @EliCleveland for putting on @WoodExpoUS. We’re all very excited! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland @swedishiron tell us more about #woodexpo2012, or if you know how to find similar regional shows #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: I live in the middle of nowhere, is making a big trip to WIA worth it? Definitely do it if it were close, but its not #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @asliceofwood I’ll be there at the fiargrounds… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: I’m beginning to think that MWA Seattle needs to put on our own show #woodchat

@allenworb: @EliCleveland I have been to 3 WIA events and only attended one seminar. #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: @BoatworksToday I have the same problem #Woodchat

@hmwoodworks: @DJOfurnituremkr is that purpleheart? #woodchat

@Furnitology: We’re trying to re-connect to the buyer and provide the current ambitious woodworker what it is to logistically to attend a show #woodchat

@BillGriggs: Tonight the mechanical tech class from the local college came to see my CNC Router table work. #woodchat

@swedishiron: @MansFineFurn thank you, looking forward to having a chance to meet you and other internet woodworkers face to face #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @TomsWorkbench we have one coming to charlotte. thought I would go if it was worth it #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @allenworb Matt – I dunno… I still think the national/international meet up of a larger show is definitely worth it #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @allenworb What do you like about it? #woodchat

@allenworb: @BoatworksToday cinci is a long trip. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @furnitology, as if you didn’t have enough to do, it looks like there’s demand for woodexpo to travel around the country #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @InGrainWoodwork does it have any benefits? #woodchat

@TomsWorkbench: @asliceofwood It is what it is.. there are some interesting things there. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @BillGriggs How big is your CNC table? #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @allenworb about 10 hours :-( #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate you are getting a new bandsaw…RRRRRRRR Nice! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Furnitology is their an online directory of similar shows? #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: @BoatworksToday Great website! #woodchat

@Furnitology: A plus is that a new woodworkers get an opportunity to rub shoulders with fellow woodworkers who have lots of show experience #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi @MichaelAgate do I hear jealousy in your writing? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Nice @ MichaelAgate.. #woodchat

@InGrainWoodwork: Last year they had some good speakers but only Tommy Mac was there this year. The pricing on told is the same out of catalogs #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @DavidJUlschmid Thanks! Still learning! Going to be starting a new site more along the lines for this chat in a couple of weeks #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @benjamenjohnson Ben, the CNC is 4′x5′ cutting area. I built it and plan to make it 5′x8′ next. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @hmwoodworks Black walnut & Wenge http://t.co/Aftd6BFE. I’ll be doing them in aluminum and doug fir soon. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @Woodworkguy Thats not bad at all!! #woodchat

@Furnitology: @uppercutwood not sure…..I know Tommy attends a national show but I’m really not familiar with them #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @DJOfurnituremkr aren’t you involved in the finefurnishings shows, multiple locations? is that a similar opportunity at all? #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: I don’t know of any shows similar to woodexpo #woodchat #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @asliceofwood @Michaelagate No Tim, ..lol…I do need a new bandsaw though…ha ha :O) #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland what tips would you give a woodworker preparing for an upcoming show? #woodchat

@swedishiron: #woodexpo is unique from our research, meet world class woodworkers, watch a lot of technique demos, see real furniture #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: This is so cool! #woodchat http://t.co/bsA6u2Gs

@DJOfurnituremkr: @hmwoodworks Ooops that is Bocote on that one. #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @Furnitology @uppercutwood Tommy tours with The Woodworking Shows, which are more like trade/industry shows. #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi never owned one, would be a nice addition to the shop #woodchat

@Furnitology: @uppercutwood Matt I want to believe woodexpo is the 1st to try and get the internet woodworking community to show #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @BillGriggs Nice! Over a full sheet of plywood. #woodchat

@DavidJUlschmid: @DJOfurnituremkr @hmwoodworks What do you cut the aluminum with? #woodchat #aluminumchat

@EliCleveland: @SplinteredBoard is another organizer. We’ve almost got the whole crew! #woodchat

@jth: @benjamenjohnson a fellow Minneapolitan! Excellent. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @MansFineFurn I wish we had the resources and opportunities to have the woodexpo travel, but the $ just isn’t there #woodchat #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @benjamenjohnson Here is a video before I made the latest upgrades.http://youtu.be/cLmu6u036kw #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @MansFineFurn I’m only involved with the Milwaukee show but I may do the Providence show this year. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: @benjamenjohnson I want to be able to do Baltic Birch too. #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @SplinteredBoard ..yet. #woodchat

@Morton: One of the most fun things about #woodexpo2012 is what @Furnitology said – meeting other makers and discussing what works, etc. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Very cool @MichaelAgate I have a small one I need a bigger to do more resawing currently using the table saw to resaw boards #woodchat

@swedishiron: Hey @SplinteredBoard ! #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @woodworkguy, you mean to cancel when you arrive and pay cash so your card isnt charged? #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @SplinteredBoard good to see you Rick, any advice for woodworkers preparing for an upcoming show #woodchat

@Furnitology: @uppercutwood Here’s a tip….because of the cost (free)..use it to test a design and watch/evaluate the feedback. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @jth Well I tend to identify more with St. Paul :>) but close enough. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @swedishiron Scotttieeee #woodchat

@allenworb: anyone from the cincinnati/midwest area? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate are you on #tweetchat? for some reason Im not seeing your posts unless i look at my new #hootsuite ..lol #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @hmwoodworks I’ll be listing small boxes & cabinets in a month or so. Nothing large or over $300.00 #woodchat

@uppercutwood: Remember that the transcripts get posted to http://t.co/XbQs2mvQ #woodchat

@jth: @benjamenjohnson I won’t hold that against you. #woodchat

@swedishiron: @Morton nailed it, amazing opportunity to meet a group of woodworkers w/ a range of experience and skill. #woodexpo2012 #woodchat

@Furnitology: Here’s another tip, we ask for one or 2 pieces but look at web site portfolio’s to see what else the craftsperson has #woodchat

@EliCleveland: RT @Furnitology: @uppercutwood Heres a tip….because of the cost (free)..use it to test a design and watch/evaluate the feedback. #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: Hey @SplinteredBoard. Good to see ya around again. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: I’ll tell ya, the best thing, for me, about woodexpo, is rubbing elbows with the masters. #woodchat #woodchat

@Tumblewood: @Furnitology I’m working on a portfolio. I hope to have another 3 pcs this year #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland how many pieces to bring? large or small? bring a bench and work? take orders, or sell ready made or both? #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: @Furnitology Didn’t know it was free. Definitely going to make there at some point. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @TomsWorkbench Take care Tom #woodchat

@TheRealNeal: @TomsWorkbench See ya Tom. #woodchat

@Furnitology: Here’s a ti for Rob and Morton…loyalty means something and next year if it were me , I’d have 4 or 5 pieces ready. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @SMeekWoodworks Hay man! Resurfacing for a special event (#woodchat) #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @TomsWorkbench G’Night! #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @woodworkguy ahh ok, id just leave it on the card..I wasnt sure what you meant.. its good to know if something comes up #woodchat

@theboisshop: @Furnitology Wow, I better get off the beach and back into the shop! #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @BillGriggs That is a thing of beauty. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Gnight @BoatworksToday have a great evening! #woodchat

@jth: Any favorite sources for mortise chisels? As far as i can tell, I can break the bank with LN or take chances on eBay. #woodchat

@swedishiron: Here is a link to Tommy’s forum with a list of last years demonstrations/presentations http://t.co/5f6Pgawc | not only design chat #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @uppercutwood As many as possible; we want new stuff and variety improves your chances. Demos reel in crowds. Take what you can. #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @allenworb I live in the burbs of Minneapolis. #woodchat

@Furnitology: @SMeekWoodworks That’s the opportunity that, craftspeople miss-yes you have travel and lodging, but no booth fee..super for locals #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: Small cash & carry pieces sold very well at the 2011Milw Fine Furnishings Show. I didn’t have any, that’s why I’m building now. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: Also, we’re kind of pushing the idea of furniture accessories at woodexpo. 2 items that sold last year were accessories #woodchat #woodchat

@uppercutwood: MT @swedishiron: Here is a link to Tommys forum with a list of last years demonstrations/presentations http://t.co/GGBii2o2 #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: Still have a few minutes before daughter comes down from bath… Then gotta go #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Hey guys if you are on #LumberJocks be sure to add me as a buddy http://t.co/aAxem4EG #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr examples of small cash and carry? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: I love seeing a new guy drawing a crowd with a demo. To the public, Allan Breed and Phil Lowe are no more exciting than a newb. #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @benjamenjohnson Where abouts? #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @SplinteredBoard accessories? like what kind? (those, I may have around to bring) #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: I’ll still bring furniture of course but I also want to offer more. Also taking a break from live edge & tables. #woodchat

@Furnitology: @theboisshop well, I’d enjoy the beach first, have another jerk chicken sandwich…..but yeah….opportunity is there. #woodchat

@BillGriggs: RT @benjamenjohnson: @BillGriggs That is a thing of beauty. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland what kind of pieces are consumers looking for? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @MansFineFurn Last year, a chandelier and scrabble board sold. #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @uppercutwood Wall hung cabinets, lamps, jewelry boxes, stools, jewelry, small tables & benches. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @MansFineFurn A lamp and a Scrabble board (board was the last winner of the Sawdust Chronicles Challenge) #woodchat

@swedishiron: @EliCleveland how many work benches will we have on the floor this #woodexpo2012 estimate? #woodchat

@Morton: @jth @RenaissanceWW and I recently checked out the Narex Mortise chisels. They fared really well. http://t.co/ItWT8m25 #woodchat

@Furnitology: RT @SplinteredBoard: we’re kind of pushing the idea of furniture accessories at woodexpo. 2 items sold last year were accessories #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr are you taking cash and check, or credit card too, and how? #woodchat

@jth: @Wood_Jedi nice easel! #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @DJOfurnituremkr dont forget ear rings #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: The cabinet prototype is almost finished going to start shooting the next video tomorrow!!! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @swedishiron: @EliCleveland how many work benches will we have on the floor this #woodexpo2012 estimate?
@SplinteredBoard: @MansFineFurn @EliCleveland yeah, I meant chandelier… #woodchat

@EliCleveland: Period isn’t as popular as contemporary. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @swedishiron does the home show take a cut of the sales take, or is it truly donated space with no fees? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @jth THANK YOU!! :O) #woodchat

@jth: @allenworb: @jth LN for sure. beautiful balance, finish and edges I love the LN chisels but holy spendy! #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @swedishiron I think we’re up to 6 benches for demos. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland I am tired of being asked for pieces painted white #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @uppercutwood Last years all sales were check. It’s mainly local people & Chicago. Maybe this year I’ll get set up for CC’s #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @uppercutwood No one takes a cut #woodchat

@Furnitology: Another #woodexpo tip- don’t think to follow the rules precisely in Call for Entries …. twist the judges a bit..it works for us #woodchat

@benjamenjohnson: @BoatworksToday Mounds View, From your website I see you’re on the south shore. I miss living near Duluth. #woodchat

@swedishiron: @uppercutwood all donated space w/ no fees! @Morton can attest to that #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 Hi Mark. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @asliceofwood you got quiet..lol are you still here? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: I think furniture sells best by value. Consumers don’t understand the big price tags on some pieces. Humble pie when people scoff. #woodchat

@Morton: @SplinteredBoard It’s OK – lamp is appropriate ;) Ha! Wait til you see my table this year. Same design ;) #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: RT @uppercutwood: @EliCleveland I am tired of being asked for pieces painted white
@benjamenjohnson: @Morton You have to stop making these videos my wish list is already to long. #woodchat

@woodshaver101: @DJOfurnituremkr hows it going. i may have some work,for us #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @MansFineFurn or black!! #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi yep, still here, taking in all the advise while being distracted by the hockey game haha #woodchat

@jth: @Morton @renaissanceww thanks, I’ll check that. I want good antique or LN, but can’t afford (time, money) #woodchat

@theboisshop: @swedishiron Well, I think @Morton did buy a few beers last year – technically that’s a cut… #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn “I saw this piece in Pottery Barn catalog can you make it cheaper? and use a different color paint?” #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @uppercutwood Haha. I have a photo of a very popular piece from 2 years ago. I’ll find it. #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @Morton Awesome can’t wait. Can’t wait for @theboisshop ‘s step stool either! #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @Jth I almost forgot about them too..spent the last few days catching up some blogs and projects..still more to do.. #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: had a long run of black picture frames for xmas! #woodchat

@WatkinsWoodWork: Just looking at the entry forms. What kind of teaching/educational items are in mind? #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @EliCleveland sounds like makers have their work cut out educating public about the value of good workmanship ( @theboisshop ?) #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: @woodshaver101 Sounds good, I’m just building inventory. #woodchat

@Morton: @SplinteredBoard @theboisshop You mean the santa sleigh? :) #woodchat

@jth: @Morton @renaissanceww Not interested in buying crap either. Hard to get going with hand tools only! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @uppercutwood verbatim #woodchat

@Furnitology: @Morton I’ve been watching and curious about how the look of the tension bend is viewed this year and is it your signature #woodchat

@hmwoodworks: @uppercutwood I hear that one all the time also. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @alsiceofwood @MichaelAgate…dont mention hockey around michael…them Canadians go crazy over that stuff… :O) #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @Morton Is that what you guys are calling it? I just want to see it pass the stress test – 400lbs of woodworkers :) #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @uppercutwood That’s part of the prob. People don’t know what we do. Conferences with other woodworkers don’t bridge the gap. #woodchat

@swedishiron: @theboisshop lol, yes.. true.. you remind me of one big improvement this year #woodexpo2012 is many more organized social events #woodchat

@Morton: @EliCleveland Wow – 6 benches! Nice. Thinking of building a @hocktools plane while there. Maybe a give-away? ;) #woodchat

@jth: @MansFineFurn @uppercutwood @elicleveland Tell them you’d love to and hammer a mimic out in painted pine? #woodchat

@asliceofwood: @Wood_Jedi @MichaelAgate I know, but the game is a good one #sabres & #rangers #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @EliCleveland I agree, WIA is different, but still necessary for skills building. The shows serve different purposes. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @elicleveland @furnitology are there specific educational ‘demos’ that are missing from the lineup? Maybe MWA can add to the event #woodchat

@Morton: @Furnitology Me too brother! Can’t wait to see what reaction it gets. And if there are any repeat visitors that will recognize? #woodchat

@jth: @MansFineFurn Perhaps part of the problem with a free show? #woodchat

@kring_l: another reason for missing #woodchat finishing the never ending poker table

@SplinteredBoard: @MansFineFurn Each year we’ve had a ball-and-claw demo, dovetail demos, but most is impromptu. We need to plan more #woodchat

@Morton: @allenworb @jth @renaissanceww Yeah – I definitely am looking forward to do the day I have time build that. Awesome. #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @jth only free to the exhibitors, charge for visitors #woodchat

@uppercutwood: We’re almost done, any last questions for the #woodexpo2012 team? #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @MansFineFurn We’d love it! Email us at woodexpous@gmail.com! #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: So with the holidays over, are you taking a break or back at it in the shop? If so, what are you working on? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @kring_l Id love to see a photo when its done..I have been wanting to do a poker table!! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: Before folks start leaving, a reminder #ModernWoodworkers Boston Chapter Inaugural event will be at #WoodExpo http://t.co/edkImz2z #woodchat

@Furnitology: @Morton “if there are any repeat visitors that will recognize? ” yep exactly — that’s one of the reasons to use the opportunity #woodchat

@asliceofwood: Everyone have a good night and have fun at these shows. #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @BoatworksToday Season 3 #woodchat

@DJOfurnituremkr: See you next week guys. Wife & dog are calling/ #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate… oooh i bet that is stressful… :O) #woodchat

@BoatworksToday: @DJOfurnituremkr Later! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @DJOfurnituremkr See you later Dale #woodchat

@jth: @allenworb @morton @renaissanceww just finished Anarchist’s Tool Chest. Gotta finish (start) roubo first. Current bench worthless. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate if her team loses when they face eachother, do you have to sleep in the shop??LOL #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: @EliCleveland I’m in touch with @furnitology (I owe him an email about the room); I sent you a link earlier http://t.co/edkImz2z #woodchat

@swedishiron: Make sure to stop by and spend time with Chuck Bender, Al Breed, Phil Lowe, Tommy Mac (batman), Eli (robin) and many woodworkers #woodchat

@Furnitology: Oh…weakness of #WoodExpo last year was after show internet content, that is a priority this year for exhibitors #woodchat

@jth: @allenworb @morton @renaissanceww very nice chest! #woodchat #NoNotThatChest

@Wood_Jedi: @MichaelAgate Smart Man!! I need a Tv in the shop! #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Furnitology I’d love to help #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: @Furnitology I agree. Both attendees, and our own coverage lacked. We’ll recover this year #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @Furnitology We’ve stepped up the social media, too. We want exhibitors to get their names out there. #woodchat

@allenworb: @jth any pictures? How did it come out? I have pile of Rick maple in garage for split top Roubo too #woodchat

@JimAAshley: Hi folks, sorry I’m late, just got home #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: Thanks for joining us tonight @EliCleveland #woodchat

@SplinteredBoard: I’m gonna duck out. Looks like the heavy hitters have #woodexpo covered (Neil, Scott, Eli). See ya guys! #woodchat

@Morton: @EliCleveland Looking forward to seeing you and crew oh-so-soon ! Sweet. G’nite. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @JimAAshley better late then never…I hope your evening is going well.. #woodchat

@uppercutwood: We’re here every Wednesday http://t.co/XbQs2mvQ for transcripts #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @Morton adios bud! #woodchat

@EliCleveland: @Morton I can’t wait. See you soon. #woodchat

@Furnitology: @WatkinsWoodWork couldn’t resist–is the desk veneer over particle bd or printed #woodchat

@uppercutwood: @MansFineFurn “he’s mad at these cans!” #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: #woodexpo2012 sounds like a great show for those in New England #woodchat

@EliCleveland: Thanks, everyone! This was fun. Goodnight. #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: @JimAAshley ahhh family… awesome.. thats a pretty good reason to miss woodchat…lol #woodchat

@Furnitology: Thanks everybody for your interest in WoodExpo….thanks Woodchat for the opportunity…..Goodnight #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @BillGriggs Take care Bill #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @Furnitology Take care #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: Talk to you later @Woodworkguy , @JimAAShley , @MichaelAgate , @Asliceofwood, @uppercutcood great see you you all!! #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: just occurred to me part of the topic was the other shows too WIA and FWWLIVE. Quick poll: WIA-Cincy? WIA-Pasadena? FWWLive NY? #woodchat

@Wood_Jedi: as well as @BillGriggs and @Tumblewood and the many others to vast to mention.. :O) #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: @MansFineFurn WIA Cincy for me #woodchat

@BillGriggs: RT @Wood_Jedi: as well as @BillGriggs and @Tumblewood and the many others to vast to mention.. :O) #woodchat

@JimAAshley: @Wood_Jedi @WoodworkGuy @MichaelAgate @asliceofwood Have a good one! #woodchat

@JimAAshley: Have a good night all #woodchat

@jth: @allenworb oh, no, sorry I meant just finished the book! #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: @MansFineFurn I’ll be at WIA Cincy and Fine Woodworking Live #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: WIA-Pas and FWWLive for me #woodchat

@Furnitology: RT @EliCleveland: Thats part of the prob. People dont know what we do-Conferences with other woodworkers dont bridge the gap. #woodchat

@SMeekWoodworks: If I can somehow swing WIA Pasadena, I’ll be there too, but I doubt it. #woodchat

@WoodworkGuy: I would love to go to Pasadena, cant justify the cost #woodchat

@MansFineFurn: OK, I guess those other shows will have to be a topic for another time…g’nite folks! #woodchat

@bmorewoodwork: I can’t swing any of the national conferences. Might need to find a local group! #woodchat

@FlairWoodworks: Whoops. I guess I missed #woodchat.

@MansFineFurn: Transcript is posted here: #ModernWoodworkers Association: About @WoodEXPOUS –the #Woodchat Transcript 2/1/2012 http://t.co/RGFo4Z2c

@Black_SheepWW: Had a lot to do tonight, I missed #woodchat. I’ll be sure to be there next week. Have to catch up on the transcript.
