   Stop by my old place of employ, the Joinery on Woodstock. Nice shop and good people.

   Not quite gallery quality furniture, but very high quality production furniture.

   Also the Oregon School of Craft is in Portland and might be of interest.

   Gary Rogowski's school is also in Portland.

   Enjoy Portland, I sure miss it.

   If you drink beer, do yourself a favor and try Full Sail Amber and Obsidian Stout. Tasty, tasty stuff.

   Hey,

   I lived in Portland for years. You must stop in to Woodcrafters on sixth and Davis. They have a nice selection of hand tools and hardwoods. Also Bridge city tools is their. Call 411 for detailed directions. I agree with an earlier post, take time to taste some local Micro brews. Depending on where your staying, visit a Mcminamins pub and down a terminator stout.

   Lots to do here.  I agree with all the other posts and would add a couple more.

   Vistit the japanese gardens for some mental rest.  also, visit Powells books on Burnside downtown - it is HUGE.  and for treat on some old time woodwork, Oaks Park amusemewnt park has a 100 yr old carosel still in operation - I go there just to ride it and look at all the carved animals.

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1

                          GJK ,

                                          One last thought , although not about wood working  the Oregon Museum Of Science and Industry . Do a search on O.M.S.I.  This is a fantastic experience for all ages ,  I would highly recommend it , have fun .
