There's a group of woodworkers that share a gallery space. They call it
Xylos gallery. I always enjoy looking at what is on display. Most of the
stuff I've seen there has been of very high quality.

American Swedish Institute (Park and ~24th St.) has some serious
woodwork, as does the James J. Hill House on the St. Paul end of
Summit Avenue (both very interesting for non-WW's too). There's two
Rocklers and a Woodcraft. The Minnesota Woodworkers' Guild meeting is
at the Rockler on Lyndale & Lake at 7:15 March 16, but that's probably
too early for you. Look at their newsletter for more good stuff
(www.minnesotawoodworkersguild.com).

Allen

I get up in that area once in a while, please enlighten me as what to expect at
this tool emporium. I may have passed it a month ago, but I was fighting 6
inches of snow, and I needed to get home to pick up my dogs before the pickup
time expired. My wife's sister lives there, and her husband also has an
interest in woodworking, maybe he doesn't want me to know, or my wife paid him
off!

I forgot. There is a store called ACE Seven Corners Hardware, it is downtown
(address I don't know), but it is an old fashioned type of hardware store with
a very large selection of tools, and their prices are pretty good. Instead of
having say four belts sanders, they have just about every one sold. The store
has narrow aisles and tall ceilings. I got a big kick out of it!

Thank you for reminding me of "Seven Corners" I used to run over there every
time I was working in the Arena across the road, bought a few tools too, to
bring back to Blighty. Do they have a website, I wonder.

All the best, Oz.
