    I went on friday as well. The crowds were down and hte hand tool society did actually have some good stuff on sale early in the morning.

    I too got to try out Terry Gordons shooting board and try plane combo. I was flabbergasted when he offered, it just wasnt what i was expecting. The temptation to whip out the Visa what enormous. I also quizzed his other salesperson for 10minutes on the details of the shooting board, and then went home and whipped one up (in about 3hours). Works like a dream so far.
    Now I just need one of those smoothers or try planes. (Some shooting board questions will follow!)

    Twas a shame I couldnt meet up with any of you old fella's, But friday was the only day I could make it. Next year!

    I also seearched in vain for a left handed circular saw, only the AEG guy were helpful with suggested modifications they could organise.
    Cheers,

    Adam

    "OLD" !!!!! :eek:

    Try the following alternative adjectives

    Distinguished
    Wise
    Sage
    Experienced
    Mature

    I mean - there's a photo of some of us so you can see that "old" just isn't appropriate.

    "Old" - Jeez!

    I was very disappointed that work commitments kept me away from Perth ....and the show. :mad:

    I am intending to invest in the following gear in the near future:
    - table saw (TSC-10HB, Jet SS, others???)
    - 12-15" thicknesser
    - 6-8" jointer
    - 2hp dust extractor.

    I have been looking at and am undecided between Carba-Tec or Jet (are there any others to consider?). I was hoping that at the show I could:
    i) see all these machines - preferably working,
    ii) discover any other brands/options,
    iii) easily compare them without driving all over town several times, and
    iv) get some good show discounted prices.

    Reading the comments above I'm not sure I would have been able to achieve my objectives anyway. Is the show the right/best place to do this or would I have been disappointed?

    Given that I have missed the show, does anyone have any advice on the best way to check out the different pieces of gear now?

    Geoff :confused:

    Did anyone mention this bulletin board to Terry Gordon while they were talking to him? He might even be interrested in becoming a member like Rob Lee and giving some advice from a tool makers point of view.

    I remember seeing the same ( maybe similar ) clock last year and it was made by Michel Gudet who lives in Landsdale, a suburb north of the river in Perth. I hope this jolts your memory.
