Looking forwards to tomorrow !

Planning to come down the M3/M27, but heard that the Romsey Show is on tomorrow so wondering if I might hit traffic problems and be best making a detour along the A30 instead to miss the worst of any congestion ?

Any advice from locals welcome !

Cheers, Paul.

 

[9fingers]

I'm in Romsey and we locals just don't leave home when the show is on.
I don't know if it affects the M27 too much but if I were you I'd leave the M3 at the A303 and head southwest from there.

The show is only on Saturday so those staying overnioght should be fine to return via the motorways.

Good Luck

Bob

Thanks Philly, and to your better half and her helper for the tea and sarnies, had a great day and enjoyed meeting everybody.

Only problem is that now I definately have to get a bunch of other tools I never knew I needed, could be expensive !!!

And now I know the secret to to those tight fitting dovetails, thanks Tony, I'm off to get a bigger hammer :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers, Paul

 

[Paul Chapman]

Yes, it was a really great day - and yes, Philly's place is just like Toy Town :shock: Never seen so many LN, LV and Clifton tools in any one place before.

It was lovely meeting so many Forum members and being able to put faces to names.

I was particularly interested in saw sharpening and I'm very grateful to Alf for providing so many useful hints and tips into the black art - and it was a joy to see the many fine old saws she had brought back to life - and to buy one of them 8)

Didn't manage to sneak out with the Wenzloff saw - but it was great just to see it. Mike, you're real master of the saw-making art 8)

Had a go with Philly's Veritas scrub plane. Wow, what fast stock removal. Got to have one 8)

A fabulous day, and Philly please pass on my thanks to your long-suffering wife for putting up with us and for the delicious refreshments.

Paul

Thankyou again Philly - the day was great and thank your wife for all her hard work. The only bad thing Philly is our visit is going to cost us loads of money buying planes and for me even more money buying a unisaw. Your Delta friend has nearly convinced me to spend all that extra on the Delta.
To all those anti dado people, Philly under much pressure from me gave us a very good(safe) dado experience. Thanks again Philly. Hope there is a repeat next year.

 

[Philly]

You're very welcome, Gents. Thanks for making the day a great success =D>
Barry-Glad you finally got to see some Dado action. And very pleased you are now a convert (nearly :lol: )
'Til the next one?
Philly

 

[CHJ]

Been there got the Tea Shirt, what can I say, just great to see everyone having fun, currently trying to imagine the justification lines that are being concocted preparatory to the next must-have tool run.

Thanks to all in the Philly household for making us so welcome.

 

[Barry Burgess]

Y And very pleased you are now a convert (nearly :lol: )
Philly

Since returning home I have been running the abacuss over the problem of the dust below the table with your unisaw - I will have to resort to my 5 PC network else some time on the Cray might be required.
Thanks again philly

 

[Philly]

Nice one, Barry! :lol:
I fear the answer might be cyclone shaped.... :wink:

Can't wait till the next one!
Cheers

Thanks Phil

For me the outstanding things were (in order):

1. Your (and Mrs P's) generosity in arranging the day with T shirts food etc. AND allowing us to simply rifle through your drawers (ohh err etc. ) with no attempt to impress or gloat, just generosity of spirit. Nice one mate.

2. That furniture!! Impressive stuff :shock: (if you're interested, Krenov, then chair, then drinks cabinet were favs)

3 The tool collection that out-does many tool shops I have visited :shock: xmas list grown :lol: :lol:

Pass on my thanks to Mrs Philly and say hi to Daddies Apprentice!

Cheers

Tony

PS I even enjoyed doing the HT DT demo and glad people found it useful :shock: :shock:

PS the car made it home despite mine and Bean's wood collecting Yandles trip - just!!

Well it was a pretty good day, eh?
First, may I send out my thanks to our guest demonstrators Chas, Alf and Tony. Give yourselves a slap on the back for doing such a great job in front of an audience-magic =D>
The workshop seemed a hell of a lot bigger when I went in this morning-who would of though we could 30 toolheads in on one go? :lol:
And thanks to all that could make it-your enthusiam and warmth made for a memorable day
Now, I have a lot of "making up" to do for the Missus........... :wink:
