The Carnival is in Town


The carnival came to town this weekend causing the local kids to run around like idiots hopped up on cotton candy and coca cola. Of course by carnival we mean the woodworking show and by hopped up kids we mean us. There was so much to look at in this traveling wonderland. Table saws, band saws, routers, lathes all looking like the models of the party that everyone wants to talk to. We were the shy guys however that only looked from a distance because we know that they are way out of our league and we didn’t have a chance of taking one home. So we walked around mingling with the regular guys of the party, router bits, sharpening stones and sand paper, and that suited us just fine.  We bought a few small items for the shop and put many more on the list.  If nothing else the woodworking show seems to remind us of our goals and where we want to be in the future. So we will eagerly await for the next visit of the woodworking show and perhaps next year we will work up the nerve to talk to the table saws and sawmills.
