During my trip to Woodworking in America this year, I had opportunity to arrange a time for a conversation with Chris Schwarz for this episode of Shop Time. As the former editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine, and cofounder of Lost Art Press, Chris has an incredible influence in the woodworking community. I have seen him present at this and previous WIAs and each time it is educational, entertaining, and inspiring. Chris is one of the people I have always revered in the woodworking, it was an honor to have the opportunity to have a conversation with him about backgrounds in woodworking, tools, and a little about workbenches. If you have questions for Chris or myself, feel free to comment, Skype, or use the contact form.

Earlier this year I took a ride down to the Woodworking Show in Milwaukee. I had the opportunity to do some filming and as always pick up a few things for myself. I now have a couple of new texturing tools from Ron Brown and got a pretty good deal on a big pack of foam brushes. There was time to catch up with Andy Chidwick and his family when I got the show. As you can see in the video I had a chance to speak with several of the exhibitors including Ron Brown, Earlex, Aqua Coat, Dubs Longboards, Milwaukee Lutherie, Kreg, MicoJig, and many more. After the show I had a visit with Jim Heavey, Roland Johnson, David Heim, Richand Wedler and some of the Bosch Reps at Dinner. It was a great show and a great time after the show as well.

While wondering around and drooling over all the wonderful tools at Woodworking in America, I stopped and had a chat with Ron Hock.
