Harrogate Show

[Doug71]

I went this morning and quite enjoyed it.

@Spectric I had a good look at the Lamello Zeta and was very impressed, it would be really useful for me I just need to weigh up if I can justify the outlay. I was also quite taken with the Mafell cordless jigsaw, it feels like a brick in your hand but in a good way if that makes any sense!

The whole SawStop set up was very slick, I can see them taking over the table saw market in the UK like they have in America.

My only purchase was a couple of leather covered magnetic tool holders from The Durham Leatherworker stall, bit of an indulgence and totally unnecessary but will be perfect for holding some nice old chisels that I have.

We travelled up from glocs - me + couple of mates. We really enjoyed it, bought some supurb green woodworking tools from the amazing Nic Westermann, lovely new 5 1/2 plane from Luban folks, sharpening kit, lighting, abrasives, veneers, finishes and a bucket of mixed price smaller hand tools.

There were some small ‘show deals’ but for us the ticket and travel value was repaid several times over with the value of the advice received.
