Agree with you on the trend system, i got one years ago and it seemed like such a good idea but it would take forever and the mechanism...

Agree with you on the hand tools, that’s the main reason I wanted to visit and I felt poor looking at some of the prices! What struck...

Good tip on the food, I’ll definitely have to pay them a visit tomorrow! How long would you say you could spend at the show? I’ve yet...
