Makers Central show

[Peter Sefton]

Looks like there will be a very exciting new woodworking event next year at the NEC with some big American names demonstrating, looks interesting.

Will be interesting if he can expand on that list. Anybody thinking of going?

 

[Peter Sefton]

No Skills, It's a good start with the likes of Izzy Swan and Carl Jacobson, it will be interesting to see who else signs up for the event.

Cheers Peter

Looks very interesting so far, I hope it'll continue to get some of the more eclectic makers from the net instead of turning into another event where the majority are big companies hawking their products.

Fingers crossed Jimmy DiResta participates.

 

[Peter Sefton]

It looks like it should have a lot of new faces and techniques, but I am sure the usual big companies will be there, the trouble is these events need money to make them happen.

Cheers Peter

525 mile round trip. The penalty I pay for living where I do.

It will be good to have a good show at the NEC.

Cheers Peter

Go by train. Remember most of the shows attract a car park charge of £8

 

[sunnybob]

Phil, stop your moaning :shock: , 2,211 miles one way. doubt if I'll make it. but I do like diresta.

If they can bring over more of the variety makers then all the better - Jimmy/Izzy do quite a variety of stuff - others just keep churning out the same thing over and over. I suppose Peter Brown falls into that catagory but at least he has a sense of humour to his videos and hasn't yet fallen into the 'sponsored by triton/rockler/flexvolt' bandwagon.

 

[Peter Sefton]

I see the exhibition website has been launched this weekend with a few more makers added.

Any bodying going?

Cheers Peter

 

[rafezetter]

Jimmy and Izzy, ok that's sealed it for me

 

[TFrench]

Got to be worth a look, I like the idea of a show that combines a lot of things.

Just had a MAJOR ISSUE with that link.
I clicked it early this morning and got a blue screen BAD POOL ERROR and the computer crashed into safe mode.
it rebooted and worked ok.
Three hours later and I just tried that link again to eliminate any other issues and got another blue screen crash.

This is on a 9 year old laptop running vista, and I have never had that screen before.

You need a new laptop

It it aint broke, dont fix it.

I can keep this one running several more years just by not clicking on dodgy links.

That's all it takes, eh?
