I had to cut my visit shorter than I wanted to but from what I saw today, #handworks2023 is big!
I will be there in the morning to hear Roy Underhill at 10am if anyone is in town and wants to say hi. Then it’s back on the road to #Chicago. I managed to get one of these spiffy posters though!
One more photo because now I'm obsessed with the Veritas miniature series. They had a lot of them on display and they are magnificent little things. I mean just look at this tiny completely functional LA jack!
I didn't have much time at day two of #handworks2023 but Roy Underhill's keynote was fun! He's an absolute treasure.
One of his bits was asking #chatgpt this question: "Write a humorous keynote speech for a gathering of hand tool woodworkers from your own perspective".
The results were incredible (played to us in a robot's voice)

Good one! I am afraid of power tools, I've had to admit to myself, and I'm kind of old-fashioned anyway, so I love Roy Underhill's approach.
I'm sorry I missed this event.
