[aldel]

It seems that the Yandles show is on again this Friday and Saturday.
I am hoping to attend on Saturday. Anyone else going?

Unfortunately, I just can't make it this time. It is a long drive 5hrs or so from up here in Nth Norfolk.

I intend however, to pull out the stops, and make an appearance next spring.

I throughly enjoyed the last event, probably the best show I had been to over the years. The setting is the best, a working timber yard, and the wood sheds a place to spend hours and a few pounds.

Hope all that attend have a top time.

Cheers, Tony

I should be there sometime late Friday morning. Perhaps only for a couple of hours, I'll see what's going on.

Not this time - work on Friday and a family get-together on Saturday ...

You could always wait another... Seven months until the next one?!? :shock:

I'm glad this show is (mainly) indoors/under cover. The weather forecast for Friday at least certainly isn't looking good. :? :wink:

Mothers 60th coming up. Am planning to make her something like a Jewellery box but needed some inspiration for wood. So headed down to yandles last saturday for a look around and went slightly mental, bought :

From left to right :
Purple heart, Sapele, Cherry, Lacewood :

From left to right :
Beech, Chestnut, Birds Eye Maple, Ash with a long think plank of sycamore in the background

Didn't realise the show was this weekend, now tempted to go again, severe risk of going nuts for a second time in a week and buying a Dovetail jig (for making the jewellery box) and some other woods. :shock:

 

[OPJ]

Bloody hell, that's gonna be one big jewellery box!! (Not to mention expensive, too!) :shock: :wink:

 

[LarryS.]

Like I said, I went a bit mental ! S

hould be enough there for every birthday for a while yet (and xmas). Any of the woods you'd be particularly keen on for using for a box ? Or are they much of a muchness ?

 

[OPJ]

It depends on what you want to do, really... :roll: :wink:

I'd be inclined to use one of the lighter timbers for the sides and maybe add some contrasting timbers elsewhere - you could even cut your own veneers from some of the stuff and make your own panels with MDF. Have a look at the grain and figuring (cherry, chestnut, maple, sycamore) and find something you like (thankfully, Yandles have already planed one face for you!). I think beech is the only one I'd save for something else.

looks like I will be down at Yandles on saturday if anyones about ? After some advice on dovetail jigs whilst I am there
