WIA and Tools of the Trade Show

I am excited to participate at the Woodworking In America Conference again this year. The event will be held October 1st to the 3rd at the Northern Kentucky Convention Centre in Covington, Ky.

I will be there with my close friends and collegues Dan Barrett of DL Barrett and Sons and Mike Wenzloff of Wenzloff and Sons. All of us hope to have new items to show but definitely will have tools for you to try out.

I hope meet many of you at the Convention as that is the best part of exhibiting.

Unfortunately, this event coincides with the Tools of the Trade Show in Pickering. It is again being held at the Pickering Recreation Complex, 1867 Valley farm Road Pickering. The show is from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm with an admission fee of only $5.

This large show has just about every vintage tool possible from dozens of dealers from Canada and the US. I regret having to miss this event as it is definitely a highlight for handtool galoots!

Best regards,

Welcome to my new blog page. It's been long overdue.

There are some new things happening at Medallion Toolworks I am quite excited about! In addition to the introduction of a 16 inch Tenon saw, the dovetail saw has been redesigned to what I hope is a more functional tool.

The intention was to introduce the new items much earlier this summer but I suffered a rather severe hand injury back in May. I almost lost my baby finger on my right hand (My dominant hand!) and recovery is still in progress. The finger and hence the flexibility of the hand will never be 100% as I sheared off the ball of the second knuckle. But, I am able to get back in the shop and making some progress into the backlogs.

To those who have been waiting so patiently for their order, I want to thank you very much for your patience and kind words! I am very grateful for your understanding and support.

Best regards,
