Sydney working with wood show

[Wongo]

It is a bit early but may I ask who is coming to the show this year and would you like to get together?

BobR, I will book you in for a Laksa OK?:cool:

I think I will be there on Friday and Sunday (and maybe Saturday).:2tsup:

[Bleedin Thumb]

As you say, early days yet, I'm still only at the planning stage of the bank job.
If I pull it off I'll be there, if I don't .... will you promise to write?

[silentC]

Nah, think I'll give it a miss this year. No money, no time to do any woodworking, too many disreputable people in attendance. Plus they opened a Thai restaurant in town recently, so I can get Laksa whenever I want.

[Mirboo]

I'm planning to go on the Saturday.

[BobR]

BobR, I will book you in for a Laksa OK?

Done deal!

[outback]

Too far away yet, but just maybe I will make it. Definitely Friday or Saturday, not both, don't like Laksa, like coffee.

Hows that?

[Wongo]

Just faxed my WW competition entry form, so wish me luck. :bowdown:

[Felder]

Friday for me, but just as a visitor. We won't have a stand at the Sydney show this year. :(

However, Felder have kindly offered to provide one of their bandsaws for my use at the Show, thank you Felder

Careful Tony, it's Felder's insidious way of making you want one!:D

[Felder]

:whistling2: :innocent:

[graemet]

I'll be there on the Friday, even though I'll have to battle through crowds of schoolkids , most of whom only see it as a day off lessons. Even better this year with Neil's ticket offer, amazing, given the cr@p he has to put up with from some who post here.
Cheers
Graeme

[Poppa]

I can go any day, and I'll have my two little boys with me. Would love to catch up with forumites, and plan on dropping in to the ubeaut stand to offer a thank you.

[fletty]

Have just put my leave form in to go on Friday ....I'd better ask my employer too!
Wanna look at the new adjustable HNT's, maybe some rasps, "traditional wax", 000 steel wool, (ex woodpecker) accessories for everything but especially for my new router table (just bought 2 Trend T3's to set up my new gifkin table properly), 1/2" socket chisel blade from "the old tool blokes" to turn into my 'other' skew chisel ...... and a round!
Fletty

[Felder]

Friday is looking pretty popular.....

I know it's still early days, but I put a vote in for meeting at 11.00 at Sculptured Box's stand. That way he can catch up with everyone without leaving his stand and I don't have to worry who's gonna nick that unattended bandsaw. :2tsup:

[Christopha]

I won't be there..... for the first time in bloooody yeeeers jolly Uncle Neil and the gorgeous Aunty Pauline will not have their noisy, ugly bald demon strator there. I am trapped in the wilds of WA and as the crow flies I coould hardly be further rom Sydley and stay on dry land. I shall be a tad sad that weekend..... :(

[journeyman Mick]

Christopha,
I note that in your post you call yourself a demon
strator. Did you slip and put a return in there, or is the computer just telling things how they are?:D

Mick

[Pat]

Popped into the Lumber Bunker today and Steve Mentioned that he will be at the show too. I'll more than likely go on Friday, I am officially on leave from work for two weeks after the public holiday. Now to getting leave from house painting . . . :;

Oy Felder step aside please. I am running the show here.:(( I’ll say 11.05 at Sculptured Box's stand Friday.:D

[Felder]

I’ll say 11.05 at Sculptured Box's stand Friday.:D

We'll be gone by then. Say g'day to Tony and then try and find us.

How good is this (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showpost.php?p=494276&postcount=31) news! :p:D

[Christopha]

How good is this (http://www.woodworkforums.com/showpost.php?p=494276&postcount=31) news! :p:D

And may that slip you have at your next machinery demo be very painful and the damage to your gronicles be totally irrepairable..... maaaaate!

[Lumber Bunker]

We'll be there!
As Pat said, we (The Lumber Bunker) will have a stand at this years show.
More to come on what we will be displaying, so stay tuned.

Cheers
Steven

[Greg Ward]

Mal from Boutique Timbers will be there again with his normal display, so we'll see you regulars when the rain washes off the prices again this year.
He's at Brisbane show this weekend, but there's plenty of time to arrange anything special you want as we move into May
Regards
Greg

[Wongo]

Greg, I have some money for you this year.

[Greg Ward]

You bring the bucket of water and sponge, I'll bring the stick of chalk. I'll meet you at Mal's stand and when no-one is looking, we'll make sure you get "the best price" :;

PS - Don't tell Greg Ward.

[Cliff Rogers]

...bring the bucket of water and sponge, I'll bring the stick of chalk. .... we'll make sure you get "the best price" :;...
Will that work at the Felder stand too. :?

Oops, I guess not.

[AlexS]

We can arrange some 'shopsoiled' stock that you should get a generous discount on, Cliff.:D

[Ashore]

I won't be there..... for the first time in bloooody yeeeers jolly Uncle Neil and the gorgeous Aunty Pauline will not have their noisy, ugly bald demon strator there. I am trapped in the wilds of WA and as the crow flies I coould hardly be further rom Sydley and stay on dry land. I shall be a tad sad that weekend..... :(

What hey hold up a minute , you arn't going to be at the Sydney wood show, do the orginazers know cause this will this impact on the Gate takings, the show could be cancelled, then again we will be able to take flash pics of the ubeaut stand .

[Scally]

[mcarthur]

Bottoms. I'm only rocking up on Sat arvo and maybe Sun morning. Sorry guys. If anyone else is up for either then let me know. Coffee sounds good (although probably impossible with the crowds on the w/end).

Rob

Ran into Matt Hare (I know him from high school) at last years WWW show, asked him why Hare & Forbes wasnt exhibiting. He told me that after the extra cost of transport and extra staff etc, they really only made enough to cover lunch :o . I think they also had an industrial machine show on at the same time....so its not really worth it for them.... I think.

I will be there on Friday...though just checking the seminar schedule, Richard Raffan's "taming the Skew" is on at 12 so I thinks thats where I will be:) His bowl demo last year changed the way I turn bowls for the better so I dont want to miss this one.

SWMBO has also decided to spend the day at Fox studios so I have to do the lunch thing with the boss:rolleyes: :D .

So hopefully I will bump into some people along the way....I know for certain I will be parting with some cash at the U-beaut and Addictive pen stands:D


cheers
BD:2tsup:

[savage]

Hopefully I'll be there with my son on the Saturday, if not it will be the Sunday.:)

[Sebastiaan56]

Yes folks,

This will be my maiden visit, how do you guys recognise each other? Thumbless handshake?

I intent to attend on Sunday maybe with kids but certainly with my mate Rob

Sebastiaan

[Wongo]

He is tall, he is dark, he is handsome, he has a full head of hair and he wears a baseball cap. :D

We all know who he is. :D

[Howdya do that]

And incase your interested Sebastiaan56, Wongo will be the short, pale, ugly, bald man standing beside ME

[Caliban]

Grandpa Hovo (that's now me for forum newbies) will be there along with Scribbly gum and two other Nth Coast ratbags. It's a five (maybe six) hour drive so we'll need a drink or three. Don't know what day. Was thinking Sat. but doesn't look like any of you will be there. Is anyone going on Sunday? Scott? Friday we have to work.:(( Might pick up some last afternoon specials. Will have the forum cap but no wheelchair this year.:D

I probably won't make it to the show this year. I definitely won't be going on Friday as I'll be on a course.

I may make it on the weekend but given the stuff I have to do around the house post reno it's going to be hard to get away.

We'll meet up one year Jim. :)

Hope everybody who does go has a great time and that there is not a snuggle pillow to be seen. :rolleyes:

[Wongo]

Settle down Hovo.:D Me will there Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

[jaspr]

I'll be driving up from Canberra early on Friday for the show ... trouble is I don't know any of you guys ...hhmm ... I'll be the quiet one walking around by myself ... sob :C :( ... might give me more time to buy things, though ... :roll: ... ok, I'll be the quiet one walking around by myself, trying to carry too much stuff :D :D

Jaspr,
I had been to a couple of these before I discovered the PARCEL PICKUP AREA, some sellers deliver your purchase to the area and, for other purchases, simply take them to the area yourself, book them in, and drive over to pick them up when your leaving. That leaves you to skulk around quietly ... not carrying too much!
Fletty

[Pat]

Jaspr, just look out for Boofheads with Forum caps or go to stand 72 (Ubeaut ofcourse) and you are bound to meet someone:)

[Sculptured Box]

Hi

Just a short note to advise that owing to a change of circumstances, beyond my control, I will not be demonstrating at the Sydney show as previously advised.

Hi Jas,
I'll be driving from Canberra too, except for me it will either be saturday morning or very early sunday morning, probably the former. I don't need anything at the moment (thankyou Carbatec for 25% off Bessy K bodies on Tuesday :D - 4xK60, 2xK125) but should I bring a trailer or not...decisions, decision :p. No, I don't need a TS55. No, I don't need a grinder. No, I don't need... What I do need is time in the shed FGS:arge:. In lieu of that, shopping will certainly help :2tsup:.

I've ordered one myself - but only belatedly, as I hadn't realised they we in yet - so might not have it by next Friday.

Hi Jas,
I'll be driving from Canberra too, except for me it will either be saturday morning or very early sunday morning, probably the former.
Rob

It's an early start from Canberra to get there for the opening. I remember driving up last year and spotting other likely sorts pulling into the servos and breakfast places and wondering if we were all heading to the same place.

Maybe we need to wear Ubeaut caps on route too!
(If I've got mine:doh: :U )

jas

[ss_11000]

it looks like i'll be there sunday instead of friday now...but hopefully dad will be driving a brand new hilux:D so my bandsaw has lots of room:D

Hi Guys,

Just a reminder that w've got a small stand at this year show, so hope you can all drop around and say " Why howdy there Mr. Dan" , or just "Hi" will do.

Can't wait to put faces to the names. Of course I know I'll be bitterly dissapointed in some cases.

Actually, take a blanket and curl up in your rocking chair. :p :D
