He'll be hanging out to talk pre-industrial hand tools, sign books, and – as always – entertain. (837 Willard St., Covington, Ky. 41011)
St. Roy of Underhill, patron of barked knuckles. Sure wish I were closer.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

I'm never in that neck of the woods, but last week I was traveling through on my way home from a mission project. I knew the open house wasn't until Saturday, but I tried my luck on Friday anyway. Megan was most kind to show me around, and I got to shake Roy's hand, while trying not to interrupt his Roubo bookstand class.
Wish I was closer. Felt like I knew the place after following blogs for so long. Everyone was just as friendly as one could hope. I was able to introduce my fellow-traveler to the LAP.
Thanks again to Megan, Brendan, and Roy.

I had the pleasure of taking a class or two from Sir Roy at one of the Woodworking in America events. He's the real deal, and pretty much the same guy off camera as on camera. When I was a teenager, I couldn't stand to watch The Woodright's Shop because he'd never really finish anything, and it all seemed rather crude to me. Since becoming a woodworker and enjoying the neander way, I greatly appreciate the research and methods he presents on PBS.
