London Woodworking Festival & 2 Classes in the U.K.

Posted on by fitz
If I leave the cat treats behind, I can fit the rest of my ATC into this Nanuk hard-sided case. Right?

I find this difficult to believe…but it must be true. Chris and I have never flown to a place to teach concurrent classes. Or flown concurrently to different places to teach classes. But it is finally happening: Chris and I are both presenting at the London International Woodworking Festival (London, England – not London, Ky.) on Saturday, Nov. 2, and we’re both teaching classes before the festival…which means I had to break down and buy my own hard-sided case in which to pack my tools for the flight. No more borrowing Chris’s Pelican. Or his tools while teaching, as our courses run at the same time.

Chris is teaching a 5-day class in making a Comb-Back Stick Chair (Oct, 28-Nov. 1), and I am teaching a 3-day class (Oct. 30-Nov. 1) in making a Dutch Tool Chest. You can see a full list of all the courses on the Festival website.

p.s. Yes of course I was tempted to title this “Anarchy in the U.K.” (I used to have the T-shirt…thought I was cool. Was not.)

  1. Looking forward tremendously to this! The LIWF in 2019 was a blast, and I have every reason to believe the 2024 edition will be as great or better still!

    Cheers, and see you in London in November,

    Mattias

    1. PS. Love the colour of that case! But not surprised that that’s what you got.

      1. I almost got yellow for ease of spotting…but didn’t want to copy you 😉

  2. How the hell did I miss that headline – it’s going on the future list.

  5. Actually I think this is an occasion for your own tour tee shirts. Some obvious ones spring to mind, but I’m sure there are others less on the nose:

    Lost Art Press 2024 Tour
    ‘Anarchists in the UK’
    -or-
    Lost Art Press 2024 Tour
    ‘An American Peasant
    Goes To London’

    I know there’s probably some way to work in a frustrated journalist and a lapsed Shakespearean scholar too but I got nothing yet.

  6. I was the sound designer for a show in 1983, and we opened an act with “Anarchy for the UK.” It was amazing how loud that PA system could get. Gave the right and proper folks a scare, it did. 🙂

    1. I’ll have that for you in a few weeks…packing it for Port Townsend first!

  10. Doing anything fun Shakespeare-related? I’m sure you will have a blast!

  11. At first I thought the hard case was for Bean. Glad he will be safe at home – and poor Kale will now have another shop duty.

  12. Shock!!! Surprise!!! On the course website there are still 3 slots for Chris and 10 for Megan. If you live across the pond this is your opportunity.
