The Early American Industries Association—85th annual meeting
Date: May 23-26, 2018
Location: Bethlehem, PA
Website: http://eaiainfo.org/

The Early American Industries Association will be holding its 85th annual meeting May 23-26 in Bethlehem PA.  Having been to many of these meetings I can attest to how fantastic they are and what a great job the EAIA does in organizing them. I was personally involved in setting up this meeting and it’s going to be special.

The meeting is centered around the Lehigh Valley and the history of the Moravians, a religious sect that is still going strong today.  Some of the highlights include:

  • The Moravian Archives
  • The Bethlehem steel stacks
  • The Museum of Industrial History
  • The Kemerer Museum
  • The Pennsylvania Long Rifle Museum
  • A tour of Martin Guitar and the Martin Guitar Museum

There will also be an antique and user tool auction, a silent auction, a dealer sale, tailgating and our banquet.

Henry Disston Jr. will give a talk on the Disston Saw Company and play his musical saw.

There’s so much more so if you’re interested go to the EAIA website for more information.

 

The Woodworking Shows – 2018

The Guild once again participated in “The WoodWorking Shows – 2018”,  held at the Meadowlands Expo Center, Secaucus, NJ. Over the three days,  we built and gave away almost 40 toolboxes and collected about 50 e-mail addresses! Thank you to all who volunteered.
