If I Only Had Time For Marc

The Wood Whisperer posted big new yesterday, announcing that he was hiring. Producing and managing all that great content has become more than a two (2) person job. Initially the new hire will "help with written articles and post preparation." From there, Marc says it will depend on the hire.

Who wouldnt want to work for this guy?

Ill admit I found it tempting to apply. Working with Marc and taking an even greater role in the community would be a wonderful experience. Unfortunately I soon realized that between work, family, The Penultimate Woodshop and the Modern Woodworkers Association Im already spread far too thin.
That said, hopefully you have the time to take up the opportunity. Fill out the application form on The Wood Whisperer Site here, help Marc out and get more involved.

What Cool Kids Will Be Asking At Woodworking in America

I leave for Woodworking in America 2013 in two (2) days. As you can imagine, my excitement is tempered by the pile of work I have to do between now and then. Given the size of that pile, I was about to write an "Im lame and too busy for a proper post" post. Luckily, Modern Woodworkers Association members have come though and I can write an "Im really busy but this was a quick post to write" post. One that is hopefully also somewhat informative.

No one can escape the 5 questions.

We started a tradition last year of asking 5 questions to the woodworkers we met at WIA. Last week I asked for suggestions on 5 more questions. Many of your responded with great questions. Thank you.
After much consideration (and Changing up +Tom Iovinos suggestions) here are the 5 well be asking this year.

1. What was the first woodworking project you built?
2. What was the last woodworking project you built?
3. How messy is your shop, right now?
4. What is your go-to finish? Why?
5. Do you belong to a local woodworking club or guild?
Unfortunately, not everyones suggested questions made it in. Hopefully the selected ones will do. If youre dying to ask the question you submitted, hold onto it. Theyll be plenty of time to ask and discuss after hours.
Dont forget about the +Modern Woodworkers Association Podcast. We talk woodworking with Guests from around the world of woodworking every other week. Subscribe to the RSS feed or iTunes today.
