LN event at Philadelphia Furniture Workshop (tons of pics)

[David Marcus Brown]

Its interesting that with all the enthusiasm this event created and the number of woodworkers in the area, correct me if I'm wrong but the nearest Woodcraft Store is in Allentown or Wilmington. Odd that Philly can't support a place where you can hold a tool in your hand before buying. Oops, I'm wrong there is a Harbor Frieght in Vineland.

I drove up w/ the family (wife & 3 kids) and made a vacation out of this event -- it was that important to me -- and we live near D.C.

Good for you!...I hope you enjoyed the city!

Just as a matter of interest, for those of us on the west side, there is a WoodCraft in Downingtown. Same owner, Tom Temple, as the one in Wilmington.

Whew! Glad I wasn't there or I'd be in bankruptcy court!

There is a Woodcraft in Downingtown and my local favorite, Woodworker's Haven in Southampton. Frank and John are great guys! Prior to my love affair with tailed tools from Italy, all my major machines came from these folks. They do stock some hand tools, but not a large quantity of them. You might also take the choo-choo up to NYC and visit Tools For Working Wood...definitely a hands-on experience if you want it to be!

My trips to Philadelphia have included a lot of places but I visited a woodcraft in Downingtown that was a great store. Harry
