272617 | galoot@l... | 2021‑01‑22 | anyone else doing the virtual Williamsburg confrence? |
Greetinsg all! It's been a bit quiet so I thought I would mention I am doing the Williamsburg 18th cen woodworking conference (online and no required s/w downloads!) Somebody doing the opening introduction stuff started saying "there has been a lot of division in our country and I am sorry that I have participated in it...." And I was thinking "Please, no politics here!" when he, said "pins first or tails" and I was laughing so hard I can't remember what followed but I think it was along the lines of we can agree they both make good dovetails and our divisions should not separate us.." A lovely break from recent news, and said perfectly deadpan. Esther |

Bill Ghio has gone to something like 17-18 of them and my wife and I have gone to the last 6 with him and his wife. Our wives like to tour the place and sit by the fire anddrink wine, and Bill and I enjoy participating as part of the crowd and seeing the projects live. We all decided that this was not the same experience and we would skip it this year. Ed Minch |

Yes, I’ll be running through the videos when the weekend is over. Whitney told me that we have user access (provided that we were registered & paid up) for quite awhile, possibly to the end of 2021. Charlie |
