So whadidya get?

[shaunburgess]

my wife got a nova midi chuck and some face plates, i got some router bits and a foiley hat, thanks ubeaut. Got permission to get my table saw, thank guy from Timbecon.

A Ubeaut cap and a couple of bandsaw blades which I'd ordered from Henry Bros the week before. Managed to resist buying a mop and/or snuggle pillow (?).

Wasn't in the mood for spending money. I was mainly looking forward to the old tools but was very disappointed by what was there and the prices they were charging. Had a nice chat to Colen Clenton and I've given his and Terry Gordon's price lists to SWMBO for my birthday wish list.

Was good to catch up with some of the forum members too, even though a couple of them were responsible for the headache I had on Wednesday morning....

You're kidding aren't you? Who can afford to buy wood??

Much cheaper to buy a chainsaw instead

I did wander over to Boutique Timbers on the Saturday to say g'day but you were otherwise engaged with another show goer.

That was one impressive Cedar slab BTW :eek:

Add to my list of other stuff a piece of purpleheart for a box I've been told I have to make. Pretty lurid stuff, and I reckon resawing it will be interesting.

I still reckon you should have smacked him around the head like Basil does to Manuel on the show, that would have woken him up

I saw you on the Saturday but you were busy running around with customers, impressive timbers you had but at sizes I wouldnt know what to do with ... plus being able to get them home on pub. transport.

Picked up:

Lots of inspiration from those schoolie wipper snappers,
Neils polishing bible - can't wait to try it out, though the pages don't really seem to do a good job of polishing I must be doing something wrong...... oh, I read the pages, then try it out
2 clamps
and 2 pieces of western red cedar which I have already spoken about in the timber forum :confused: I hope I can fix it 'cause I really did like it - and more to the point so did the wife, if all my timber splits like this she might not let me out to play as much.

Was a slacker and did not meet anyone - this time next year for sure!!
Sure had some fun but.
Cheers
