Nick, what was this?

a piece of wood from the dungeons in "game of thrones"

...




actually was labelled as a bit of Coolabah, pretty speccy

I did wonder whether it had acquired a parasite of some type

Got to be Sawdust Maker looking for ANZACS suppliers online or is he checking out Season 4 of Game of Thrones




Whats this falling asleep on the job or hanging his head in shame that everyone thought it HIS responsibility to take int ANZACS (it was not)



I see you spec'd there must be Peppermint Tea in the selection Christos......keeping that Urn filled must have been a work of art.
Well done al thanks for all the photos.

I went
I walked around
I bought somethings
I went home

(Sorry can't do the above in Latin)

Comments:
last went when the show was in in June and at the Horden Pavilion
didn't go when it was in July 'cause it always clashed with another commitment
Bought my ticket on line last night
Got there before 11
Parked in P6, but finding the entrance was a challenge -- there needs to be a big sign on Australia Ave.
Crowded at first while the school kids were walking around, then thinned out somewhat
some stall holders seemed to be doing well -- Colin Clenton had a big smile when I said hello
bought a 100mm double square from Jim Davey
some of the clubs were complaining about last minute reductions in space
some interesting power tools on display
really liked Stuart Faulkner's work bench
queue for food and drinks was far too long
I'll let Mal or Greg provide comments on the quality of the food
some of the wood for sale was very very ordinary and IMO very over priced
other wood vendors had great deals -- bought a small piece of purple heart to trim a project
went home after about 2½ hours
really really liked Stuart Faulkner's work bench [want one]

I was talking to Dave Giddings of Drive Marine Services about quality ply & glues with the discussion turning to the overcrowding...
He mentioned that they'd ordered a 6m x 6m stand but due to a considerable number of late stall holders attending all the stands and the walk ways were reduced in size....this being said Dave mentioned he was very happy with sales and interest when we were talking....

The Woodwork Forum corner at times being on the end of a walkway and a tee intersection become clogged with people especially when the gent across the ways way doing a demo of his human powered lathe....

I was there 9.30am to about 2.30pm and found the crowd almost too much to move around.....
Ques at cash registers seemed long too and I noticed a few return goods & walk away....sad for vendors but own fault for not proving service...

The photo should speak to you.

Great to see some photos of someone else's local show. A lot of different sellers there, and some interesting displays.
