Here's your chance to see some of what you may have missed
at this year's AWFS Fair. The show was held in Las Vegas,
Nevada with a record crowd and according to all reports,
it was a great success with more browsers and buyers than
ever before. WOODWEB's photographer visited many of our
exhibiting advertisers to bring you a slideshow of
pictures featuring their products up-close and personal.

This true story, written by a blind woodworker, is an
exception to the rule at our Knowledge Base - after all,
most of our articles focus on the technical or business
side of a professional woodworker's challenges, not on the
personal or physical side. Recently, we've added the
stories of other blind woodworkers to this article. We
think you'll find them fascinating, as well as uplifting.
