My anniversary is May 4th, so it squeaked under the wire for me. 😀

Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.

Well said Scott, and they both have a very recognizable style completely Diffrent from each other. Make for a great conference! I really think the modern textured glass and traditional jointery works of Barts kick ass. And I am inspired by the scope and depth of Ries's public work...

Whatever you are, be a good one.

The NWBA now has its very own Repousse section for the Conferences. Because of the overwhelming demand by our members for a repousse station at our conferences, last weekend a group of NWBA volunteers forged, finished, and assembled 6 complete workstations to be available to our membership during the conferences. Each station consists of 21 chisels, a mat and sandbag to use, with lighting and hammers. Our new Repousse Station will debut at the Spring Conference, and will be a staple at all future conferences. Be sure to stop by and sit down and hammer something out.

Great work everyone! It's great to see a group of people willing to donate their time for the benefit of others. I know our daughter will be glad to see the station back at conference!
