Ralph Bagnall of Consultingwoodworker.com is guest blogging this week.

As I mentioned in the last blog post, the International Woodworking Fair is next month in Atlanta, and I had promised to talk this week about the educational opportunities at the show. This year there are more than 50 seminars being presented during the show itself, and even a handful of all-day symposiums (symposia?) available for the day before the show.

These educational opportunities cover a huge range of topics from spot repair touch up techniques, to business marketing to pricing strategies. There is also a "Tech Theatre" on the show floor where companies will be giving short (20 minute) demos and instruction throughout the show.

From color matching to 3D printing, if you have questions or need to learn more about nearly any aspect of your woodworking business, someone at IWF is there to help you learn.

I will be attending the show, and will be on the lookout for new sanding supplies, techniques or machines to share with you. I'll be sharing via the 2Sand Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as presenting an overview of the show here in the blog. So feel free to sign up to receive this info in whatever form you prefer.

And if you know of any products that will be debuting at the show that are of interest, let me know, I'll try to find them and share info!

You can perform your 'cranial download' here, on our new Webpage, on our Facebook page, or via Twitter. -2Sand.com
