UK Workshop Get-together Final Details

[Waka]

After much deliberation it looks like I won't be able to attend the day out, I'll be relaxing on the canals after a hard month at work. also I'm worried about getting dragged down the slope.

You all have a nice day out.

Philly I'll see you when I get back.

And a certain Mr Lee has promised to send some new Lee-Valley arrivals over for a peek preview

Thats very nice, but do we have to return them?? :wink: :wink:

 

[Nads]

Philly,

I’m interested in coming, as it’s clear I could learn a great deal from you guys, but it’s a bit of a drive…….1 ¾ hours (I live near Heathrow)? Is the day open to everyone, or just you long term members? :wink: Sorry to be a pain, but can I let you know a bit closer to the event?!

Cheers

Nads

 

[Waka]

Even though I'm not going, I can asure you the drive will be well worth it, evenif it's just to see Philly in his gloating finary. Make the effort you won't regret the day out.

 

[Philly]

Nads
No, the day is open to all members, regardless. It would be great to see you, and as Waka says, well worth the drive.
Cheers
Philly

Hi -

Tell you what Andy... they can all stay on your side of the pond... I'll put a really fair price (meaning low) on each, and you can pull names out of a hat for the right to buy one (if no interest, pull another name)... and Philly picks a charity to get the proceeds....

Hows that??

Cheers -

Rob

 

[Paul Chapman]

Hah! More like "if no interest, seek medical attention immediately"...

Very generous of you, Rob. =D> But you've now doubled the likely pilgrims and probably means I'll actually have to do this darn saw sharpening thing now #-o :lol:

Cheers, Alf

 

[Nick W]

I'll be there too. Just don't tell my mum [-X :-# - she'll expect me to drop in on the way past. 8-[

 

[Nads]

I’ve shuffled around a few things and should now defiantly be able to make the get-together on Saturday 9th . A weekend of woodwork that’s what I like - Yandles on Friday, UKworkshop Day Saturday. I’m really looking forward to finally meeting some of you guys, plus Philly’s waterstone demonstration. I’ve been using waterstone for a little while now, and it’ll be good to see the correct techniques/procedures.

I’ve got a bit of a favour to ask you guys :? ? As some of you might already know from the ‘hand tools’ section of the forum I currently looking for a new set of chisels. I was just wondering if a few of you guys might be able to bring along a few sets of chisels (Ashly Iles, Sorby, Kirscen, L-N) along so I can do a bit of a comparison, and see them in the flesh?

Do I need to bring anything? - food, drink, tools?!

Cheers Guys

Nads

 

[Philly]

Nads
Excellent, be great to meet you!
I have the L-N chisels, hopefully some other owners could fetch the others?
Other wise Nads, just bring yourself. :wink:
Cheers
Philly

 

[Nigel]

Nads
I have the Kirscen chisels which I will bring along for you to view then perhaps Philly can show us how they should be sharpened :lol:

Nigel

 

[mr]

Am hoping to get there and if so I can bring Ashley Iles chisels (and a collection of blunt saws - Allllfffffff).
Cheers MR

 

[Alf]

My rates are £10 an hour...
