[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Maybe not masks, maybe just their foilies

Time to start building in Camphor Laurel?

[Toolin Around]

Will you guys be selling foilies hat the show

[Bluegum]

I plan to be there on the Sunday. Have to work on Saturday so hopefully a few bargains to be had on the last day of the show. I too was wondering about the sale of foilies on the day.

[soundman]

If you hadn't already gathered I'm back from the tropical north just in time for the wood show.
It was overcast up there for a lot of my stay too, but thtas not such a bad thing, still ran the aircon at night.

Tom and I won't be able to make it till Sunday:eek: (but we'll be there all day! ). We've got a wedding to go to on Saturday...

However, since I work so close to the RNA showgrounds, I did happen to duck down quickly in my lunch hour and have a quick race around. There were so many school kids I was hard pressed getting a look at anything! Have to wait till Sunday ... Tom is on 040 165 9274 and I'm on 041 345 9758. Hope to see you there!

Cheers
Dan

Hi,

I won't make tomorrow, Saturday, either. Still can't face the drive down yet

Sorry guys, here's hoping I can make it Sunday, at least.

Cheers
Wendy

PS enjoy those coffees and banana-choc-chip muffins for me
and leave me some hard shellac? Please??

[mic-d]

Woe is me! finished work today at 2pm and leave to go north for a few days at 12 tomorrow Frustratingly, leaves almost enough time to queue at the door and run around then run out, but not quite. They certainly keep gentleman's hours:mad:
Cheers
Michael

heres some views of neil ,paulien & robo doing some hard graft at the wood show.
Note Wendys smilin' face purchasing product.

[RufflyRustic]

I had the best time at the show. There's lots I forgot to look at but at least I made it this year.

I picked up my next two month's supply of Hard Shellac, some little sharpening stones, a box lock, a few little things from the turning clubs to support them, a wooden scoop for my wooden spoon collection, some aus cedar from Mal at Boutique, some lovely myrtle, a bundle of scraps of different woods, some I've never heard of at all - they will be fun to play with and a stack of catalogues for a friend.

I caught up with Soundman, Kunchy, Just George, Dan & Tom and U, Beaut and , the axe-wielding sweetheart (It worked, I bought 2 bottles instead of one )

Tom from Sturt's School of Woodworking spotted me walking along with my bundle of timber and just had to try to talk me into going to his School - I was tempted, Very tempted

Met Chris Vesper, drooled over his tools. Met Roger Griffins, got his autograph - damm, should have taken my book of boxes and got him to autograph his photo as well

Delivered some sheoak to Major Panic. Thank you for the life-saving coffee and biscuits. Life-saving in two ways, one being restorative after an exhausting but exhilarating day and I think you may have saved me from getting caught in a bad accident at Karina Downs. So a big Thank You!!

It was a pretty non-eventful trip home after the stop/start of getting past the accident scene, but the line-up of traffic coming into Brisbane was huge!!!! It went for about 3-5 kms, due to another earlier accidental exactly opposite the one I missed - yep - perhaps rubberneckers caused the second accident.

Then, just as I was entering the home straight, my nose decided to bleed.

Anyway, after dealing with all that, I made it home by 7pm exactly. What a great day out!!!!

cheers
Wendy

Drat,there's another thing I forgot to look for

[Krunchy]

Hi Everyone,

Finally made it on Sunday after my Saturday morning appointment rang long :mad:

Got to catch up with Soundman and Ruffly and have some of Soundman's chocolate cake

Got to meet Neil and at the U-Beaut stand and got some great restoring advice off Neil (which also meant purchasing some product )

My other big spend of the day was a purchase of a Bandsaw from Gary Pye which I'll pick up this weekend (Soundman, I couldn't quite stretch to the 17" )

Anyways thats my short summary of the day, it was great to see some old faces and to meet some new forumites.

Cheers,
Krunchy.

[Bluegum]

Yep I had a great time on Sunday at the show. Finally met Neil and and had the chance to put a couple of faces to the names we see so much. Got a few good bargains from the show as well. I'm now thinking about a gifkins jig after meeting Roger and seeing it in action
