Members may recall that our September field trip was initially scheduled to get a preview of the new shop with Master Cabinetmaker Chris Nassise. The Village held a Grand Opening Ceremony for the new Cabinetmaking Shop on the Common, and EMGW had a front-row seat for the festivities, under a tent where we displayed members’ work and did some demonstrations for visitors. Tools, jigs, processes, and other woodworking related themes are also relevant.Īs part of the 75 th Anniversary celebrations at Old Sturbridge Village, EMGW participated in the OSV Woodworking Weekend on October 9 & 10, 2021 (see slideshoew below).

Take a glimpse of Dave's work in words and pictures by clicking Seymour Table. And working through the self-admitted challenges, Dave wonders with admiration how the Seymour brothers did their work without power tools. It would be an understatement to declare that Dave succeeded in this gorgeous reproduction.
There an original Seymour Table was on display. Dave continually takes on challenges, this time inspired by a visit to the furniture section at the Peabody Essex Museum. There never seems to be a dull moment in Dave McCormick's workshop. So take a look at Andrew's article and dial back to the catalyst - handling magazine issues - of this progression in December's Your Life on a USB Stick. Widening that concept to a broader view of technology in woodworking can lead to more pondering by Andrew. Still, that little device with cheap, local, searchable computer memory has become ubiquitous beyond just managing the storage of magazine issues.
The USB stick, sometimes referred to as a thumb drive, is one publishing delivery option but it has downsides as Andrew cites.
So it didn't take long for Andrew to use this advertising magazine campaign to ponder how to deal with the piles of issues that amass over the years. Do you count yourself in the group of current or former subscribers of at least one woodworking magazine? Even if you have never been a subscriber, chances are that you have been solicited to be a subscriber, especially now during the holiday season.
