Woodworking Show

I don’t make mistakes in the shop…
I make custom design changes. 😄

Every woodworker knows the feeling — sometimes the project changes itself halfway through and you just roll with it.

That’s not a mistake. That’s creativity.

Join us at the Hamilton Woodworking Show for tools, ideas, demos, and plenty of woodworking inspiration.

Champions make the craft shine. 🏆

The Canadian Woodworking Championship brings together incredible skill, passion, and stories worth celebrating.
From woodcarving to marquetry, every piece tells a story.

Join us at the Hamilton Woodworking Show, November 13–15, 2026 at Riverside Exhibition Centre, Caledonia Fairgrounds.

With Ontario Wood Carvers Association – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

Happy National Hamburger Day! 🍔🪚

Around here, we believe in the important things: sharp tools, good wood, and a burger stacked high enough to require a clamp.

Measure twice, grill once… then come see see us at the show!

Bring your appetite for woodworking, tools, demos, shopping, and a little sawdust-covered fun.

Every sanding job starts the same way:

“I’ll just clean up this one edge.”

Then suddenly the shop looks like a sawdust mountain range.

But hey — look how smooth.

Congratulations to Gerry Bell of Fonthill on his 2x4 Challenge entry, Moose In Water.
