Pretty sure I'm going to be there, it's about an hour and a half away. Who's else is going?

Probably dropping in. Might be helping out Clark at his pre-con if he'll take me. . And I offered the TFG powers that be to set up a 'Doctor is In' SketchUp help desk between sessions - sort of like the bookstore. And I'll work for beer and chips. no word on that just yet.

I'll be there -- it looks like an outstanding lineup of presenters.
Hats off to Will and the gang for putting it together.

I'll be there, presenting at the conference and will be at the Geometric workshop beforehand.
I attended a similar workshop with Laurie Smith last year in England and it was fantastic.
Of course we were kicking it at the Knights Templar Barns!

I'm gearing up towards this workshop. I will be stopping by with our tools for sale during the workshop. But.... If any of you guys going to the Geometric workshop need any specific hand tools, I have a few dividers and I'm about to receive two race knives. And I have been in contact with Jack Sobon and I have been supplying him with some period tools for you guys to use. Some interesting augers, for sure....
Send me a private email if there is something you need for your toolbox for this workshop and I'll do the best I can to get it for your before hand.

Does anyone know if they are going to send out a tool list for the workshop? Tools which we should have, I am guessing some less common tool will be available for use. What type of saw will be used? Are the dividers of a specific type? Maybe some better than others? Axe, adze? How "period" will it be?
How about the weather in that part of Mass in late Oct?

Tim: There is a tool list on the page with the information. Which says:
#3 Hand tool use: Selection, tuning, and proper use of the basic hand tool kit (limited to what would have been available in the 1700s)
* Straightedge (length as an increment of the rod length and width as mortise width) * Dividers - String - Awl - Race knife - Marking gauge - Plumb bob - Saws * Framing chisel, corner chisel and mallet - T-augers - Axe - Adze - Drawknife
And I can tell you that the standard T-handle auger with a twist drill is "not" period...... twist augers came later on...
Whatever you do, have fun doing it!

Yes, I have seen that: http://www.tfguild.org/workshops/geodesign.htmlI am looking for more detail, what type of T-auger, saw? In the photos I see a twisted auger and a cross cut saw, from the 1700s? These are the only two I see as being questionable. Tim

Tim,
The weather can vary quite a bit, frosty mornings with mild sunny days (some times really warm) to overcast rainy drizzly days that are downright raw. The middle of October is the start of bird and deer season, my favorite time of year! There is nothing like the smell of the onset of Fall.
