We just got back from another great AWFS Fair in Las Vegas. If you aren’t familiar, AWFS is the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers and its a show that occurs every other year at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This is just a quick video to give you an idea of what the show is like. Booths and product displays as far as the eye can see and lots of neat stuff to drool over. I even have some footage of the all wood sports car, “The Splinter”, as well as a quick look at the Belt Sander Races. And as if that wasn’t enough, the one and only Matt Vanderlist from Matt’s Basement Workshop makes a guest appearance at the end of the video! Tool demos and the student furniture exhibit will soon follow.

    Not much action at The Green Desk… guy reading the paper, sound of crickets… probably all over at the belt sander races… woohoo!!

      LOL. I was going to say something about that in the video but I decided against it. I noticed that the booth seemed a tad underutilized.

    Hi Marc, I’d like to thank you and thank you in advance for the coverage of AWFS. I did not have the chance to attend this event but I really appreciate your efforts (twitter, short videos, blog and now video reviews) to make us “be there”.

    Again thanks

    Pierre

    Wow what an event. Is there an equivalent of that show here in Aus that you know of? I’ve been to a few here but nothing that big, and certainly haven’t seen belt sender racing before! I’m so going to hack my old belt sander to bits now and make something out of it.

    Cool site… can’t believe I just found out about your site, less than 24 hours AFTER coming back from AWFS :(
