showcase...

I am at Woodworker's Showcase in Saratoga Springs, New York, and along with my fellow jurors, examined a great deal of fine work from wood. My personal choice as best of show is a hand-crafted Adirondack guide boat. I think my readers understand my own love of wooden boats.

Fellow jurors, Ernie Conover, Bob Van Dyke and Freddy Roman had the same feeling about the quality of the boat and we came to a quick agreement. Best of Show. Photos will come tomorrow.

Today I will have two classes.

The big sphere in the Albany airport is appropriate to one of my presentations, today, Making Classic Toys that Teach.

Make, fix, create, and provide the opportunity for others to learn likewise.
