Sounds like a plan

I was planning on it, but may well be based in wales again by then; If so I shall have to see if there's anywhere affordable in harrogate* so I could make a weekend of it without sleeping in the back of my car (which is comfy enough, but definately a bit on the rough side...) Anyone else planning to make a weekend of it?

*I imagine it will be right next door to the flying pig auction mart

Going on the Sunday,if past years are anything to go by it should be a good day out and maybe just maybe swmbo can be persuaded that I really do need that morticer that I have been dropping hints about.

I'll probably go on the Saturday. I went once before, maybe 10 years ago or more. CMT Tools sent me a complimentary/guest ticket that year. I also won a prize in the raffle so all in all it was a grand day out.

 

[Nick Gibbs]

I'll be there. Do come and say hi on our stand!!! We've got some gifts for anyone who takes out a sub or renews!!!! It's a nice show, and under new management this year, so it will be interesting to see if there've been any changes.

Went last year. Was ok at best for me. Far too much wood turning.

It's a strange show. I'm fond of it. It has a really good atmosphere, but doesn't always deliver as much as you'd hope. It would be good to see more furniture making.

I've been a few times but I cant remember if Record Power have a stand there. If they do, I'm after a scroll saw.

Do these companies give good discounts at these shows or am I expected to pay the website price still?

 

[Nick Gibbs]

They are normally there. Don't know if they have special deals this year, but you will probably save on delivery so you ought to be able to get things a bit cheaper. Give them a call on 01246 561520 to find out. They are usually very helpful, and have a great reputation for customer care.

 

[Tinbasher]

Yep I'll be there on the Friday.

is that the Sorby proedge in the background? how do you find it? I'm about to spend £300 on one so thought I'd ask.

 

[Nick Gibbs]

We tested the ProEdge a few years ago and were impressed. It rather depends if you want a hollow grind for turning or not. Personally I think turning tools need a hollow grind, which you don't get with the ProEdge, but plenty of people prefer a flat bevel on turning tools. I like a flat bevel on carving tools and chisels and plane irons.

Record Power are on the list of exhibitors though you would need to phone beforehand to ask if they are taking any scrollsaws.
I think you need to treat the show as an interesting day out and go prepared with the best on line prices just in case you find a bargain.
