Status Report: Around the Web: News: Hot Deals: The rest of the show was devoted to our Holiday Bash! We gave away great prizes from Charles Neil, Popular Woodworking, Lee Valley, Zem Hearing Protection, Hock and The Wood Whisperer. This part of the show went on for about an hour so I decided to cut it out of the audio recording. It was fun if you were there, but no so much if were not. We had about 90 people in the chat room for this event so apparently the lesson here is if you want people to show up, give some stuff away for free. haha! OH and by the way, I hit Record on the Ustream feed, so if you are interested in hearing nearly the entire show, and watching the video as well, you can do so below. Warning: You’ll have to excuse my less than family-appropriate shirt. I came in from the shop and totally forgot to change.
