61- IWF 2008
Download High Resolution
Although for me, IWF was about representing my sponsors and meeting up with readers/viewers, nearly everyone else has one thing on their mind: tools. So we did our best to get some footage of the most talked about tools of the show. I know we missed quite a few (specifically, Jet’s new oscillating drum sander). But with our tight schedule and impending exhaustion, we did the best we could. Nothing fancy, nothing funny, just tools!
Here are the companies we visited:
Leigh, Blum Tool Co., Ex-Factory, DeWalt, Powermatic, Delta, and Laguna.

LIVE Wood Talk Online
I’m not sure why. I’m not even sure we should. But what the heck, it sounds cool! So on our normal Wood Whisperer chat night (Wed. 8pm Eastern), Matt and I will convene for a live Wood Talk Online episode. Just go to our TWW Live Page, and you should see our smiling faces. We are trying out some new things and this will really stress our internet connections, so let’s hope everything works. At the very least, it should be very funny to watch us flounder with all the technology, the chat room, and trying to do a show at the same time. And for those of you who can’t make it, we will of course record the audio portion and release it like we always do.
