All,
Traveling to Europe next week. I will have a full day layover in Amsterdam, and will be spending some time in Tallinn, Helsinki, and Dublin. Wondering if anyone is aware of any good woodworking sites to see, places to shop etc, in those cities? All of mytime will have to evenings, as this is a work trip for the most part.

Thanks

Brent

Not exactly woodwork-y but the Design Museum in Helsinki is pretty cool. http://www.designmuseum.fi

I just went to Dublin and stopped by 34 Capel St. while the wife looked at the Book of Kells. That is the McQuillan store and the Irish consider it quite the store. It's like a very small Ace Hardware with some Harbor Freight type tools thrown in the isles. Quite a disappointment as all the tools are hand tools only and behind counters. I never did find where to look for larger tools.
