Just wondering if Neil was able to respond to this question: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?t=69351

Enter the competition and you will get free tickets. :D

[jmk89]

It will take a while before I can make a rocker. Let alone one as good as yours, Scott.
All I'm good for is telling people with talent to get on with the job!!!!

So it's going to be a while before I get free tickets!!!

[Pat]

Free tickets, discounted tickets are very well appreciated, but I'll be there rain (last year) hail or shine, even if I have to pay the full freight like every other punter.

First stop the Ubeaut stand for a chat with Neil and Pauline. :)

Also to meet you forum dwellers.

[ss_11000]

I thought Neil and Pauline stopped doing the shows??? (I thought I read this on the forum, but I hope I'm wrong - its when I stock up!).

[Milar]

This will be my first show. I keep hearing about them and am looking forward to it for sure.

Can anyone give me a heads up on what to expect, sounds like a bit of a bargain hunt - I'm looking out for a few new items so might hang on. How are the demos etc?

bargains do come up but the big guys like carbatec only have 10% give or take off their prices.

demos are good IMO

[martink]

Perhaps we should arrange a time/place to meet up and peruse all that the show has to offer on mass. Would be nice to catch up with the forumites - I met a lot of you when I did the great bessey clamp order last year:)

Ciao,

[BobR]

This year Carba-Tec will only have a nominal presence. A small number of major items of equipment and the usual smaller items. However, I am told that there will be a sale just before the woodworking show and that the prices on offer will be the show prices. If you are on their mailing list you will be notified. Happy hunting.

[Poppa]

I'll be going, probably with my two boys again (they had a ball last year). Looking forward to seeing Big Stan again (I see he has become a member here which is great), and having a drool over all the gear and all the timber. I will probably be in the market for a bandsaw and maybe a drill press by then, so will have to see what I can find! Might need to take the van up...

The best things, IMO, are the little guys, who don't get a lot of promotion. Guys like HNT Gordon, Gifkins and a whole host of others. These guys are usually very generous with their time and are a pleasure to chat to.

I bought my Gifkins Dovetail Jig from the show and have been a happy puppy ever since. The whole Gifkins family usually turns up.

There's guys who sell those hard-to-find pieces of wood, like Brazillian Puple Heart, for that special project.

The big guys (Carba-tec, Triton, et al) are well represented and always busy selling stuff. There's usually lots of good advice from guys who seem to know what they're talking about too.

BTW: If you see one of those Japanese pull saws, branded 'Silky', buy it. One of the best pull saws I've ever seen/used. I picked one up from the Gardening Australia show last year. They SHOULD be at the Working With Wood Show.

[Pheonix]

Bummer, just found out I have to be in Perth 10-20 june,looks like a trip to canberra:doh:

I haven't been to one of these shows. Reading everyone's posts has me very excited about going this year!

Last Year I watched Terry Gordon do his demonstrations at least three times. He is so approachable and so knowledgable.
Didn't see enough of Richard Raffan - sadly.
For some reason I kept going back to Chris Vesper's stall as well.
I am really looking forward to this year's show.

[fletty]

I have a bugger of a job, I seldom get a 5 day week it's often 6 and too many times it is 7, I have worked most public holidays over the last few years BUT I don't work on the Friday of the Sydney WWW show. It's like a religion!
I spend the whole day, my mobile phone turned off, and I indulge in retail therapy .... how many days is it now wheelin'?
Fletty

[wheelinround]

No idea why I put 49 days on the 17th of the month should have been 57 days :doh:

It's not long until Brisbane Timber & Working With Wood opens its doors, and the 2008 show is literally bursting with the very latest and hard to find tools, machinery and hardware, demonstrations and entertainment.
This year's show is possibly your best opportunity to see and purchase the latest and hard to find tools, timbers and machinery all under the one roof and at VERY SHARP PRICES!

Jumbo's have 7 sets of wheels Stirlo

so I guess your off OS with the school on excursion within the final two years


must have been a tough choice

car = you can buy one anytime

lathe = as above new models coming out almost daily only hope they get cheaper

excursion = spending 3 weeks away with mates and teachers you'll possibly never see again once in a life time.

does anyone know where you can park so it does not cost me all my money saved for spending at the show? I think last year outside the show at Moore Park it was $4 per hour which certainly puts a dent in my spending money!

That's what a hate about the Sydney show - around $16 per day for parking. Its not that much, but its hard trying to leave those few notes in my wallet throughout the show!

I also ventured to the Canberra show last year, free parking.

[Pat]

Mick, park in the Lang st (http://www.eqmoorepark.com.au/getting-there/)Parking centre. $20 all day. That what I do, especially since it can cost that much getting the train up and having to make decisions on how much I can humanly carry on my back:)

There is one small benefit with not being able to park at a reasonable price...it means that we have to do the whole public transport thing which means we don't come home with large bits of gear that we all know our better half's don't understand why we spent so much money on them:?

[Hardenfast]

Does anyone know if Brad's Burls will have a stall at the show? I've had a quick look at their website and would like to see some of their stuff in the flesh.

Maybe someone else with a similar range? Salty?

[fletty]

.... likewise, does anyone know if Carbatec is holding a pre-show sale?

Fletty

[BobR]

As I mentioned some time back. Carba-Tec in Sydney is holding a sale for 2 weeks prior to the show. The sale prices will be the show prices. They are not taking as much space this year as in previous years, and therefore will not be having as much stock on display. I was told this on my last visit to their store.

[fletty]

thanx Bob,

Hi guys,

Woodie here from the Timber Shows.

Yes, Brad's Burls & Craftwoods will be at the Sydney Timber & Working with Wood show!

If you want to know if other specific companies are there, let me know.

[collector]

Hey Woodie

Will Triton be represented?

[Marginata]

I'll be heading over from Perth to visit the Sydney WWW show for the first time. Can't wait:happyb:

[ss_11000]

Hey hey everyone...

I have got a problem. I may not be able to go to the show:(. But I may be able to make it work.

The situation is this:
I'm in Sydney with a hockey camp all week (at Narrabeen and ending at Homebush - Sydney Olympic Park). This runs from Monday to Friday at 2pm. So I cant go for much more than 2 hours on the Friday, Then rush back to Newcastle for an 8pm hockey game (which I would actually not prefer to play in). On the 14th June (Saturday) I play hockey at Pennants Hills Park at 1830 and need to be there by at least 1730. This is the ideal day for me to go, but Mum and Dad are tied up in Newcastle all day with their hockey. On the Sunday, I have the bye in Newcastle:cool: but my Sister has a 'Regional' carnival on in Taree, so Mum will definately be up there and will most likely have dads car (free petrol) and dad wont want to take mums car to Sydney because then we (meaning me or him) has to pay for the petrol (and considering I am going to South Africa in 6 weeks from last friday - I have no spare money that I want to spend)

So, I was thinking, I could stay at my Aunties place in Penrith on the Friday night and catch a train into town, then catch another to Pennants Hills afterwards. But the problem with that is: I will have at least one bag full of clothes, a enviro bag full of school folders and my hockey bag with me. I cant carry that around all day. I might send my aunty an email later (after talking to my parents) to see if my uncle or her will give us a lift in (or even hang around) and pick me up again and take me to PH (my brother should still be around to give me a lift home from there).

This doesnt sound good...I think the best I can manage is to go for the last 2 hours on Friday. But I wont be spending any money (because of SA) and there wont be many worthwhile demo's on at that time of day so it wont really be worth it. Plus it means travelling thru Sydney at peak hours and I dont think it will really be worth the hassle to be honest.:-

So, I was planning on going to meet a few Forum members, talk to a few people, watch some demo's and check out anything new...and now it looks like I wont be there.:( Oh well, such is life and there is always next year anyway:2tsup: Hope you all have a great time:cool:


Cheers:)

[wheelinround]

Stirlo what a bummer although SA is looking good and its all in the game.

Homebush Bay to Moore Park by public transport :no: you'd not do it in an hour, and be back in NCastle for 8pm :doh: trying to leave Sydney in peak hour you might just make that one.

Stirlo I hope someone can come to the rescue

[Ross]

Stirlo

I'll be at the show on Saturday with my car parked near by (you can leave your bags there) and living at Epping I can give you a lift to Pennant Hills by 5.30.

Hope this helps.

Ross

[ss_11000]

wheelin, if i was to go on the friday arvo - dad would be there with me:)

Ross, thanx for the offer. i'll get back to you:2tsup:

[bsrlee]

They are actually pretty relaxed at the parcel pickup, so if you had it all bagged, you should be able to leave it there with a numbered tag, then pick it up when you want to leave.

Look up www.131500.com for bus route & timetable info if you are stuck with public transport - that is how I anticipate going.

[Jim Carroll]

Stirlo you can leave your gear at the back of our stand if you want to.:2tsup:

We will clean out your wallet for you so no one else takes it away from you.:D

[Ruddigar]

Hey hey everyone...

I have got a problem. I may not be able to go to the show:(. But I may be able to make it work........

Stirlo - I've read this three times and I still can't work out where you are, where you've got to be and whether or not there is free fuel in South Africa.

Do you need a lift from Penrith one day? I can do that. Still got my number? Give me a call.

[fletty]

Well, it's started!
Went to Carbatec, Sydney, today for the pre show sale. The flyer advises that prices at the sale will be lower than at the show and the Carbatec presence at the show will be greatly reduced to a 5m x 6m stall. The cost of "moving the shop to the show" has become prohibitive.
They are open from today to next Friday but closed this (holiday) monday only.
In addition to all of the flyer specials, there is 10-15% off everything in the shop. Amongst the hidden treasures is a clearance table of Triton router bits from $7 to $16.
Also finally bought my Leigh dovetail jig .... a shed weekend coming up!
Fletty

[bsrlee]

Someone (or several someones) got an unexpected bargain at Carbatec on Saturday morning, but it wasn't me :C

Seems one of the sales staff was selling the Festo Domino with the box of dominoes & extra bits for the price of just the Domino, less 10%! I was the unlucky bunny who, just as the sales man had finished ringing it up, had the boss look over his shoulder and tell him that it was the wrong code - so close :doh: Still, 10% off the right price was still good.

finish hockey at homebush on friday. COULD stay the night at penrith (my aunties). some how get to the show. then get out to Pennants Hills (by around 5pm).


99% sure i wont be there :(:). thanx anyway guys.:cool:

[arose62]

Ditto with the confusion:?

I'm driving from the Central Coast, probably on Sunday, to take my Dad to the WW show, but I don't see that that fits with any of your options.

Maybe you could repost something like:

can anyone
a) give me a lift from here to there on ?day at about ?-o'clock
or
b) give me a lift from somewhere-else to this-other-place on ?day around ?-o'clock
or
c) look after my bags on ?day

Can you offer payment in Wenge from Sth Africa?

Andrew

Just had a short telephone conversation with Wheelin and he reckons the show is good. "Having a ball" he said. He was just going off to meet some of the other forumites at lunch. Weather is good apparently and actual sunshine on his way to the show. Would have found out more but the line was shocking and could hardly make out what Ray was saying in the end.
I am sure he will be filling us all in when he gets back.

Show is good although it feels different probably because Carbatec and MIK aren't there so there aren't as many 'general' things for show and sale
Festool and Metabo are prominent with Triton and DeWalt not far behind.
Harold and Saxon chisels are on display and taking orders
Wongo's rocking horse looks brilliant and he wont know til tonight if he receives a gong

Well it was nearly 1400hrs and I am not a little bloke . . . I was 'Ungry!

Sydney show was interesting, Wongo's Rocking Horse and Table are very nice. Met Chris (Doorstop), Steve (Lumber Bunker), Jim (Jim Carroll), Fletty, Bob's, Alex, Hardnfast, Wingo, Ray (Wheelinaround) & Sue, Now whom have I forgotten?

That's right, little Brendan (Ruddigar) ;)
