Whether you

are a beginning woodworker or you are professional, when

the Woodworking Show returns to Atlanta this weekend all

will have an opportunity to take their work to another

level.

The Atlanta

Woodworking Show, at the Gwinnett Civic Center, will

feature tools at discount prices, seminars from some of

the best in the business, and displays from more than 100

manufacturers from all over the United States.

"Many

of our attendees spend more than one day, so they can

visit the exhibits several times, see tools and machinery

in operation and learn from factory

representatives," said show director Irene Devine.

"They can purchase everything right there on-site at

special show prices and take it home to use in their

shops that evening."

In depth

three-hour seminars will be offered Friday and Saturday,

focusing on cabinet making, picture framing and finishing

basics. The cost of each seminar is $55. Advance

registration includes admission to the show and can be

charged at 1-800-826-8257.

Two of the

featured seminar speakers, Stuart Altschuler and Marc

Adams, will present a total of 27 mini-seminars on the

show floor. Lasting 15-30 minutes, each seminar will

discuss a variety of woodworking techniques. Numerous

local organizations also will demonstrate their crafts

and share techniques. Some featured organizations will be

the Atlanta Area Woodcarvers and the Woodworkers Guild of

America.

Local

crafters also will offer 10 free workshops, including

topics such as building an adirondack chair and making

wooden toys.

Admission

is $8 for adults; children under 12 admitted free.

Tickets will be sold at the door. The show will run noon
