Hey guys. We’ll be at the Toronto Woodworking Show (Feb 22 – 24) at the International Centre in Mississauga this weekend! We’ll be bringing our LongMills and Mill One to the show, and Greg from Greg’s Reinventions, who has been a beta tester of the LongMill and professional woodworker, will be with us over the […]
