G'day Rog,
I was wondering what sort of tools will be being sold. Are they all collectors or tradesman, ie realy expensive or well priced for the home hobbiest. Any extra info would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Gazza.

Gazza, some of the tools on offer are from "Collectors" although, i have found and bought some absolute beauties... for a reasonable price. Stanley No. 6 plane $45.00
assorted chisels around $5.00 etcetera.
Not to mention the wealth of knowledge some of the characters their are willing to impart
on us "younger" blokes and blokettes.
Have a gander it's well worth it.

Roj,are these tool events held annually/bi-annually and if they are,would they be held at approximately the same time each year?
If so then I could plan to spend some time in the old Vic,take in the WWW show as well as do some damage to the Visa at the tool sale/swap next year perhaps?
