Woodcraft Happenings
A few stores, including Spokane, Seattle, and Denver, are hosting either a Summer Clearance Event or a 15% Off Sale over the weekend of June 13th and 14th.
In Seattle and Denver, the first 25 customers to spend $25 on clearance items will receive a free Pinnacle marking and measuring tool.
There are also some interesting classes coming up around the country.
- Sacramento has a Thor’s Hammer class, where students shape a wooden hammerhead on the table saw and turn a custom handle on the lathe.
- St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Nashville have the Drunken Cutting Board class, which uses a bandsaw technique to create that wavy checkerboard pattern.
- Greenville has a Celtic Knot Rolling Pin class, with both youth and adult sessions.
One reply on “Do Those Nickers Go All The Way Up? | Wood Talk 607”
Gotta take exception with Shannon’s statement that handplanes are plentiful in every antique store and swap meet. Not in Oklahoma. I’ve never seen much of a selection and what I have found is in terrible condition. That goes for northwest Arkansas too and I have searched far and wide over the years. I’m jealous of you east-coasters if you have such a wide selection of tools.
