Hello All
I have not been posting much lately for two reasons, one I have been super busy and two I'm working on a project that is the most complex piece I have ever made and don't want to share it until it is finished. When I get time I'll get back to posting some more antique tools too, I have not added much to my collection but what I have is really good. Here is the other thing I have been doing, speaking at conferences. I will doing a TED Talk in August TEDxKC here in Kansas City. This came about because I was asked to speak at something called the E.G. Conference which I must say was the coolest week of my life. Imagine spending a week hanging out with the other people doing talks plus another thousand that all have done amazing things. BTW, tickets to this are $ 4,000 each. Anyway here is my talk online.
Bill Robertson, Tool Collector & Model Maker (EG11) | EG Conference
In a mere 18 minutes it will cover some of the 40 years I have been playing in my shop. Please forward it to your friends if you think they would like it. While I may look relaxed I was trying not to wet my pants the whole time.
Also for those near Kansas City, I'm involved in putting together a totally new type of Miniature event, It is a Show and Sale of museum quality miniatures held inside a museum. About 68 of most interesting artists working in the field will be there from all over the world. This is Sept. 15 -17th and for PM members that want to come I will have an open house at my shop that Sunday evening. And the show is free to the public (with standard $5 museum addmision)For details see..

As always Thanks for all the support and encouragement you PM members have given me over the years.
