European woodworking show

[gus3049]

Normandy, having a look at the 'D' day beaches and visiting a forum member from TWH - Rob

Aha, only just over the water then.

Bon voyage on two counts then. :|

The Thread was about who is going to the show and like Rob I explained why I wasn't going - I could have just said "not me"?

I also thought Moderators were supposed Moderate not fan the flames?

I've just come back from Yandles which is nearer to me, free entry, lots of discounted wood and a lot of the attendees at the European Show were present there including CHT!

just the same as Alf, who for some reason also doesn't post...I wonder why that is?

from Alf`s blog

"Anyway, as to more regular updates to this blog, I can't promise anything. The spirit is reasonably willing, but the flesh is basically buggered at the moment. Heigh ho. Nothing terminal or even moderately exciting, just an old familiar foe who fancied to reminisce. Lucky me..."

sounds like she`s not too well.......hope she picks up & is back posting soon.

Alf decided to stop posting on here some time ago:

Don't worry, you didn't upset anybody. Let us know how you get on at the show.

 

[Harbo]

No need to be sorry mm - it happens all the time - the thing is not to take Forums too seriously.

I fancy going, if only to see the old barn etc. It looks great in the pictures. But they say no dogs in the buildings or grounds and although they would find it difficult to enforce they make no mention of excepting guide dogs.

Graham, was looking at the show site whilst our server was down and somebody had asked about guide dogs and they are allowed.

Thanks for that Noel, and the pm.

I will be going, hopefully might meet some of you. Won't go to yandle as it is too far away. So I am happy there is one closer to me, actually on my doorstep. In all reality I read the previous posts, does it really matter where the shows are, as long a people go to them and enjoy themselves and learn somting new, even if it is only small, and of course buy some nice shiney new toys to play with in the workshop!! =P~

Anyways, I'm going and will enjoy myself, might even spalsh out and go to both days.

Cheers

As I have previously mentioned, I will be putting on a display of early wooden planes, and demonstrating there use.
I just wanted to point out that i am not a dealer, so I won't have anything for sale, but what i would like to say is that if anyone needs any help with a wooden plane they have, be it sharpening it, restoring it, or even just how to use it, please bring it along, and i will do my best to help. Also there will be a stack of wood, and a bench, so if you want to try using an old woody, your free to give it a try. I think these shows are great for just meeting up with people, exchanging ideas, and hopefully learning something from each other. much as this forum does, which is something worth remembering, and something I for one, greatly appreciate.

[richarnold]

Looking forward to meeting you David.
I have decided to give "Bernard" ( that's my wifes name for it, I haven't a clue why!!!) another try out this week end, but I might need a volunteer to pull the rope. Any offers?

Whilst I`ll pass on pulling Bernard, I`ll look forward to seeing both David & yourself on Saturday.

A few of us will be at the beer tent at 12.30 if anyone wants to meet up.


Cheers.
