This Thursday, Doug Hicks will once again present his popular seminar guiding you through the steps to get started as a woodworker.

You’ll learn where to get project ideas and plans, what tools and machines to start out with (you’ll even learn the one tool Doug would take to a deserted island), terminology, safety, and practical tips that will help you get started woodworking and having fun in your own home shop.

This seminar follows close on the heels of the Woodsmith Store Tent Sale 2006. The tent sale is the kick-off event of the woodworking season and draws excited woodworkers from all over the Midwest looking for the best deals on woodworking equipment. "How to Get Started in Woodworking" is the only FREE seminar of the season and I want to encourage everyone to attend.
