Woodworking in America 2013 will be Oct. 18-20 in Greater Cincinnati (the conference proper will be at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center).
With only one conference this year, we’ll be able to gather under one roof as many as possible woodworkers, woodworking teachers, and top-notch toolmakers, so that you get an unparalleled weekend of woodworking fun, learning and excellence. And, we decided to once again hold the conference in our own backyard quite simply because we can do a better job of it close to home.
That truly is all we know for now. Next week, we’re meeting to finalize our dream list of instructors and classes – as soon as we’ve anything nailed down, I’ll let you know.
For now, we simply wanted to let you know as early in advance as possible, so that you can fit Woodworking in America 2013 into your plans.
p.s. Now available: “The Woodwright’s Shop” Season Nine 2-DVD set from perennial conference favorite Roy Underhill.
Here are some supplies and tools we find essential in our everyday work around the shop. We may receive a commission from sales referred by our links; however, we have carefully selected these products for their usefulness and quality.
It’s not going to stop me from coming down but it does stink that this will be right in the middle of MLB playoffs.
Awesome! I’m definitely going, and its not a bad drive from Chicago. This will be my first one, too. Last year I just couldn’t swing it, but this year it is locked in. Thanks for the early announcement of the dates.
Other names to consider for the event are Norm Abrams and Ron Herman, Brian Boggs, Don Williams, Peter Fallansbee and David Charlesworth. Is there any possibility the organizers could put a list of names together with a brief bio and area of expertise, then have subscribers and former attendees vote on the names.
I have been to a couple of WIA Conference and I really enjoyed the first conference in Berea, I found the hands on sessions were worth more than the lectures, is there any chance the next WIA will return to this format or include some hands on sessions again. Thanks
Megan, I do not know if I am happier for the return to Kentucky or the return of just one show. Either way,from my standpoint this is wonderful. Thank you very much. Fred
As someone who lives 5 miles from the Pasadena convention center I have to say: major bummer!! Oh well. Maybe next year.
Noooo! Any weekend but that one!
Megan
Just a thought, but seems a lot of attendee`s are also past attendee`s. I didn`t go last year because those who returned to Cinci didn`t make me want to spend the $$$. Anyhow to the point, is it possible for anyone who wants, to send their list of names of possible presenters to Pop WW, to be dropped into a computer. Those with the most requests should be contacted first. Of course it`s possible not all them can make it, but of those who can, I believe you will then get better response from people, and that is all that matters, right?
I think trying to always come up with new names, also makes for some thinner pickings. People are going to this thing to see the greats, not the maybe could be`s. My $0.02
Glad I was able to go to Pasadena this year, the Gamble House in particular was unforgettable. But it’s probably just as “cost effective” to travel to Cincinnati as it was to drive to So. California.
I stand with those who are happy to hear the conference will be returning to Cincy!
It’s not a short trip for me, but it’s nice to return to the same area. Knowing the hotels, the best spots to grab a bite to eat, and the layout of WIA all contribute to making the experience top-notch.
Many thanks to those who put so much effort into the event.
Short drive from here in Columbus! I plan to make it for my first WIA experience!
Always glad to see WIA in Cincy. This year bring Don Weber back and fly David Marks in.
I’ll be there. While nice to have outreach to the west coast folks, I’d rather have a longer flight and one universal gathering. Appreciate the benefit to you and also the show quality to have it in PW’s neighborhood. Looking forward to it.
Thanks.
I stoked for the return of the one show format!
I’ll be there!
Dang, no WIA West? that’s a bit of a bummer. Maybe it’s time I make it to your neck of the woods.
Flight booked!
