The Woodworking Shows is a travelling woodworking show that visits quite a few cities each year. At these shows, you can expect product demonstrations, hands-on learning experiences, and great discounts on new and popular tools.
I took the opportunity to visit a recent Woodworking Show at a nearby city, and had a great time there. There was a lot to see and do, and I of course took many photos to share with you. Since there is much about the show that I’d like to talk about, there will be a series of posts with each one focusing on a different event, vendor, or experience.
To see if there will be a Woodworking Show in your area, you can refer to the schedule on their official homepage, or do as I do and navigate there via a link on the Woodpecker website, which is easier to remember.
Admission to the show is reasonable at $10 per person, but there are $2-off and buy one ticket get your spouse in for free coupons available via The Woodworking Shows’ homepage (coupon tab at the top).

Hahahahahaha…even with free spouse admission my spouse would laugh in my face. Besides the show provides an escape from her and the kids for a day. Oh, I forgot, I get to buy tools as well!
My wife didn’t mind too much, especially since we stayed for ~2 hours, which was far shorter than the 4-6 hrs she was expecting.
She even offered to buy some tools for me, most notably a 24″ Woodpeckers T-rule which I’ve had my eye on for a few weeks now. During a brief bout of insanity, I declined.
