thedude50 writes: Yes I must agree it is bad enough we have to pay two to 5 times as much for the wood we buy but we should at least be able to have you guys show up on a couple of west coast locations.

ncbuckmaster writes: wow, it looks as if fine wood working is just in east or central US !!Too bad the rest of us don't do good work fer the great pages of Fine Woodworking! I understand that someone like me wont find a show near by but come on guys, Denver, Saltlake so on and so. I have to drive 180 miles round trip to the nearest walmart but I would drive 3 to 4 hundred mile to a show.

I guess it is too much to ask for a Boise event? I have two spare rooms at my house for hosts or instructors and I will include meals for a free pass.

skipperdog writes: Love FWW Magazine and WEB site. Great idea to get your staff on the road and share their experience and knowledge. However, it appears of the 50 plus appearances, only one is West of the Miss. River. Do you guys have something against the western states?

jdmaher writes: About 65% of the "events" are regular classes at woodworking schools, so this should probably be clearly marked "Advertisement".

Another 19% are The Woodworking Shows - sort of an "event".

Only 9 of the 57 are what I consider true "woodworking events".

Maybe the whole thing should be titled "Schools You Should Spend Money At - and a Few Woodworking Events".

Hard to believe there are so few events. Maybe you should try to find more.

Dean7 writes: BetsyE said: “…most of our Contributing Editors are from the East Coast.”

Fine Woodworking should retain more “Contributing Editors” who live in a more uniformly distributed pattern across the U.S., from the West Coast through central America. It sounds like the East coast is already well represented.

MacWoodworks writes: Hey guys, don't be intimidated by our superior woodworking skills out here on the west coast. We are always willing to share our knowledge to help you become better woodworkers.

Evan38 writes: Hope I have the right area to post this. Just read the article on the outcome of the "Saw Stop" suit. In my humble opinion is that "JUST WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR COURT SYSTEM?" (sorry for yelling but I am so pi--ed right now I could spit. First, shame on this guy's employer for not training him in the proper use of a table saw. Secondly, shame on the employer for not properly supervising this person. Thirdly, shame on the courts for even letting this case come to trial for the stupidity on this person to try to rip a board without using the fence. I have been woodworking since 1950, when I learned a valuable lesson from my father. I was helping him cut about 500 pieces for a project on our old 10" Delta. Well needless to say he lost his concentration and cut the end of his right thumb off. He told me as he was looking for his severed thumb, never take your eyes away from the saw. I still have all 10 digits. Sorry but I'm still pi--ed at the outcome. One old safe woodworker.

Sorry not going to happen. I know you can only be at so many places but it is always the same, several places in the NE, SE, MW, and sometimes the WC, that leaves most of us between without. I am talking Rocky MT states. I am not complaining I love your mag and website, the info is very good and I thank you. Maybe someday you will plan on us in-between? Until then, I will continue with the internet. Good luck at the shows, thanks, jr

jareed writes: Wow, I didn't realize I live in such a vacuum here in northern Wisconsin or are we just a little disconnected from the more populated areas in the USA (thats actually the way I like it.) Actually we have some great resources in the upper midwest, check out the North House Folk School website@ www.northhouse.org . The school is located on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Grand Marias, MN. It's a beautiful area to mix a vacation and a class, they have such diverse set of offerings that both you and your spouse could take a course in the same or different venue.

BiscuitBunny writes: Good one, Ralph Barker! Ok, how many of us actually went back up and scrolled the list looking for the misspelling of New Mexico? Ok, how many of us scrolled through it twice? Did we then ask ourselves how small-minded we are, that we have to find the error and gloat over it? I wish you could have heard my embarrassed chuckling.

Check the Northwest Woodworking Studio, in Portland. Longtime FWW contributor Gary Rogowski runs the joint. It's a cool place in a cool city.

BetsyE writes: Carpentarius:
I don't know if Maine has a larger percentage of woodworkers or not, but I do know that most of our Contributing Editors are from the East Coast. They are doing these events and classes on their own time and maybe they like to stay closer to home.
