I'm interested to see where this goes. I am about to purchase the hammer n4400 and was looking at getting the ceramic guides from felder. $500 is quite a lot though!

Hi Mick,

You can this type of plywood from Sharps Plywood. I have got it before and it's very good but be warned! It ain't cheap!!!

I also was at the wood show and saw this.

Thank you to everyone for your responses. I will look further into some of these options

Hi. I have recently built some chairs that are similar to them but have less complex angles. see picture. Are these suitable??

Yes you can get Ramset nail guns with explosive charges that can nail into concrete and brick but I doubt that's what has been used. A photo would be helpful.

I would be interested in entering. Great idea

I would have to agree with Larks. I have been going for several years and it has definitely gotten much smaller which does disappoint me. There used to be many stalls outside with the timber slabs...
