It’s home to about 2,100 people and it has a rich history. Walking down the historic main street, you’ll be surrounded by a dozen amazing coffee shops, boutique stores, local crafts, and the occasional trolley that passes by. When I first traveled there to shoot photos with Doug Stowe (Coopered Table, page 38), I instantly fell in love with the small Ozark town. As quaint and beautiful as Eureka Springs is, it’s also a popular destination for motorcyclists, downhill mountain bikers, and fly fishermen (seriously, you should see the streams here). But, in my opinion, the real hidden gem here is ESSA — the Eureka Springs School of the Arts.
The Campus
The Eureka Springs School of the Arts is a 55 acre campus, catering to both locals and students traveling in from across the United States. Founded in 1998, ESSA receive its 501(c) status as a non-profit in 2001. Built upon grants from the Arkansas Art Council, the classes hosted at ESSA have grown from a couple of weeks a year to now offering year-round classes, ranging from one day-courses to five-day workshops.

Blue Spruce Router Plane
One of the benefits of being in my position, is that I sometimes get to see tools that are in the works before they get released to the public. I've watched the development of the Blue Spruce Toolworks router plane for a while now, anxiously waiting for its release.

Bosch Colt Cordless Router
There is probably not a name more synonymous with compact routers than the Bosch Colt. For twenty years now, Bosch has been releasing compact routers under that moniker, but this model represents the biggest change yet—the Colt has gone cordless.
