I'd like to invite anyone within driving distance to the next Cincinnati Woodworking Club meeting, Sept 14.  Our guest speaker will be Mike Flaim.  He blogs under MVFLAIM and does a lot with hand tool restoration (in addition to custom woodwork) and sells his work under eBay.  If you can't make the meeting, perhaps you'd be interested in the Lie-Nielson event at Chris Schwarz's place or the tour of a big veneer mill.  Or some of the many items for sale by owner.   Details here:

Oh, man...that veener plant tour would be cool.

A couple of the guys that interfaced with them said the place is just amazing.   They are also now selling live edge slabs and hardwoods, including exotics.   Come on down, it's open to the public and they're looking for local customers.

I used to drive by there at least once a week -- I had a regular delivery company customer that was just a mile down the road from them.   The log yard regularly had sprinklers going to keep the logs wet prior to veneering.  But they didn't have tours then.   

Oh boy. I'd love to make that tour. Only 1650 mi. one way. That's 165 gal. in my truck. And, I'd definitely need the truck. 

Thinking of a truck load of live edged slabs just makes my knees weak and, my head spin.

I’m with you Gene. I’d love to go to a LAP open house much less while Lie Nielsen Tools is there. The drive for me is just way too far. Not to mention the strain on my old truck from all of the wood.
