It's OK CH, I can handle rejection.
Next time you're down this way you'll have to call in for a cuppa and an Anzac:D
:2tsup:
So how was it guys, a good time had by all. Tony will be out to give me grief I'm sure:D
No grief mate. You can't pass up free stuff.
But just to rub it in, it was really good. Spent most of the day there chatting.
Confirmed that I will be doing Howard Archbold's chair making course next year, signed up for a blacksmithing course with Doug Moseley and had a good chat with Colen Clenton and bought one of his 6' Ebony squares as well as some other stuff from Trend and the blacksmith stand.
A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my day. :U
Will be back again next year for sure.
Bbarst d:U,, I would have liked to have had a chat with old mate the blacksmith too. My new workshop will have enough room for a small forge I'm sure. I bought another small anvil yesterday arvo on a trip to Morpeth with Tack Hama. Where abouts is old mate the smithy at? I know Howard is up Scone way isn't he?
Picked up almost enough timber framing to do one floor of petition wall so saving quite a bit.
Drove past the new digs today and saw the previous tenant taking out the skate board ramps, good sign. I am just chafing at the bit to get in there. Tomorrow I will start the security bars, they shouldn't take too long.
Nice little purchase there too, I got the 4" ebony at Sydney last year, very sweet.
Yep Howard is at Moonan Brook near Scone. Doug Moseley is based in Port Macquarie but he has a brilliant mobile setup. Have a look at SG's blog. He has some pics and details for the expo.
By the way, I am so impressed by the quality of Colen's tools that I will be adding to my square purchase when funds allow.
