Last night I was quite pleased to have another professional woodworker, Andy Chidwick, stop by the shop for a visit. Andy & his family have just started their tour with The Woodworking Shows where he shares his knowledge by giving demonstrations and lectures.

Andy is a talented furniture maker and designer, he builds a variety of sculptured furniture which includes, but is not limited to, the Maloof style. Andy also has a woodworking school in western Montana, the Chidwick School of Fine Woodworking.

But rather than tell you about his trip and The WoodWorking Shows, I will let him share it with you in a video we made during his visit to my shop.

To see Andy Chidwick give a demonstration or lecture be sure to check out thewoodworkingshows.com for locations and schedules. Not only is he a talented furniture maker, but he is also a talented instructor and all-around nice guy. I hope you get a chance to meet him and see his work.

If you are interested in seeing what Andy has to offer at his school, check out the ChidwickSchool.com
