TBDKeith I have been getting ready for the 2009 Wood Expo in Charlotte, mi. It’s a two day event that is hosted by L.L. Johnson’s Lumber. www.theworkbench.com This year it is being held on Sept. 11th and 12th. It’s two days packed full of free demonstrations from tool manufactures to Scott Phillips of The American Woodshop. http://wbgu.org/americanwoodshop/
Again this year the Mid-Michigan Woodworkers Guild www.mmwg.org will be demonstrating various aspects of woodworking including lathe turning, scroll sawing and boat building, just to name a few. We will also be doing a fund raiser for Siren/Eaton shelter. www.sireneatonshelter.org/ The mission of SIREN/Eaton Shelter is to promote the elimination of domestic violence and homelessness by providing temporary housing, support, advocacy, education, and information to the community.
MMWG’s members build the car bodies and kids young and old, glue the wheels on to prepare their cars for the big race. After the big race all involved get to take their new cars home.
The following pictures are from the 2008 Wood Expo.

I have been at Expo for the last 7 years and there is always a lot happening. I think I just might make it again this year and hopefully see all of you there. Expo is always made extra special by the people and the groups that become involved in the two day event. There is lots of educational opportunities and time to converse with fellow woodworkers. I am looking forward to it.
Looks like our future woodworkers are in good form!
An especially big THANKS goes to Keith for arranging all the different things to involve the public, and to the MMWG members for all their prep., work and support!
Dennis,
My favorite part “converse with fellow woodworkers”
and checking out all the new woodworking tools for sale.
See you there.
Ernie,
That beautiful Ambrosia Maple bowl that you are turning in the picture above, sits on a shelf in my living room.
Thanks
Keith
