What you missed at FWW Live 2017

The dust has settled a little after a whirlwind three days at Fine Woodworking Live 2017. FWW Live was another example of the incredible woodworking community coming together, and sharing lots of knowledge, and even more laughs.
Thankfully, Dyami Plotke of the Modern Woodworkers Association, and Matthew Morris of MM Wood Studio (and YouTube of course) made my job a lot easier by sending in phenomenal, ready to go content.
It needs to be said that for us staffers, here at Fine Woodworking, the highlight of the event was getting to meet so many of you. It was awesome to get out of the office and talk a little shop with everyone, race a hardwood derby car (with plenty of trash talk) and to sit and learn from the presenters alongside everyone.
Let’s do it again next year!

Rikon went nuts at the banquet. Before we got there they wanted to give away a bandsaw, but they must have gotten swept up in the excitement and gave away a planer, spindle sander, midi lathe, and even more

So who won the hardwood derby??
Dyami Plotke won. Mike won the staff race. Neither was a surprise.
