What's on your Sydney Wood Show shopping list?

[DonN]

Fellow Woodworkers
I would lik to warn people about a nasty person offering free plans for machiney. He is sending a virus which can not be cleaned by any of the current virus scans, although they will detect it. If your software detects the virus just delet the file without opening the message. If your software does not detect the virus and you open it, you will be like me and formatting you hard drive which I have just completed doing.

Thanks Don, I'll be warey. Sorry to hear about the vandalism on your PC. See ya , Rod

A virus cannot be transmitted by a simple email or text message. However a virus can be included as a 'macro' in MS Word documents.
(A virus or 'worm' needs a kind of executable code to clone or activate itself - email or text massages do not have such code)
However, contrary to the post 'macro' virii can be cleaned successfully.
There is a free AV software available from Computer Associates using the 'VET" engine. They offer FREE updates and support for life.
Visit http://www.cai.com/antivirus/personal/
This is fair-dinkum, I've used it for 2 months so far, and have recieved two updates.
It has found macro virii on some .doc files that were given to me on disk.
Regular updates (each month) mean that you stay protected.

The virus is called W95/HPS it comes via attachments. You virus scan will not even look at it. I called all the virus scan companys when I found the virus (only by chance) and was told by all there was no fix for this virus.

With only a few weeks to go, I thought I'd see what is on everyone's shopping list.

If I manage to get there this year (got a big project on at work :(), I'm after the U-Beaut Polishers Handbook and some U-beaut gear (from Jim Carroll's stand this year, I believe). Also some turning blanks and some purpleheart box making blanks to go with some other timbers I already have. Then, if my hard earned pennies allow for it, a skew chisel (still deciding which brand).

I think thats all. After previously going to the shows with a much, MUCH larger "WISHlist", I've now learnt to limit it to a "NEED list". :rolleyes:

Ohhhh to be the guys who take a trailer!

Cheers,
Nathan.

Hi,

I am after the LN low angle jack for my shooting board. Does LN do any specials for the show.......I wonder??

Looking forward to it,

Anthony

Well I'm picking up a band saw from a fellow forumite (and giving him a small-to-medium sized wad of cash in exchange!), and I'm hoping to have enough left over for a decent drill press. But we'll see. And probably some small but interesting pieces of timber to add to my mystery pile (as in "it is still a mystery what I'll do with it!").

If I had loads of cash a jointer and thicknesser would also be on the list! But they might have to wait a while longer...

[BobR]

Mostly just timber.

[dlim2986]

I'm after some burl's, especially WA stuff.

[Sawdust Maker]

Uncle Neil's polishing book:2tsup:

a couple of other supplies (mainly in the pen line) from Mr Carroll

and maybe something from the kind folks at Trend Timbers

and ...

whatever else I think I can get past the sniffer dogs employed by SWMBO :o

Looking forward to it,

Anthonythe last few years LN has had 10% off for the show

if it's for a shooting board, I'd suggest the #9
the extra mass makes a big difference,
it's what I use

Possibly my pre-show shopping list - depends on how many shops offer week-before sales :U

1. Jet 17" drill press. Currently the best on the local market IMHO, would have liked one of the new Powermatics or a Delta, but they are not being brought in by anyone. There is also the second hand market, something 30+ years old, not beat up and single phase with a 6" depth capacity.

2. Probably a Festo Domino - I actually have a project that has been hanging around for 18 months that needs either a Domino or a loose tennon jig, and I have more chance of putting the money together for a Domino than getting organised enough to make the jig. Or maybe a Leigh M&T jig and/or a bench mortiser if I can find the room.

So I'm being good & not splashing out with Lee Valley until after the show - sorry Rob :B

[Pat]

Teknatool SNII or Titan, depending on what's available, I've ran out of Unca Neil's Sanding Sealer, nearly out of Trad Wax and EEE and am enjoying the finish the Shellawax gives, so another bottle of that. More Danish Oil for the burls. Carbatec has a "Delux Alignment System" for the T/saw/DP and the Nova Acruline system for the lathe. Then there is the incidentals, then the last minute wallet emptying round with the Wongster:U

[Wongo]

Wood, wood, wood and more wood.

Bought some NG rosewood from Anagote on Monday.Might get more in the next week. Then I will order some blackwood from Malcolm then get some more at the show.

:D

[Rhys Cooper]

i think my woodwork class are going for an excursion. i hope so, but i wont be buying anythinig, i wont have much money.

[bsrlee]

Late-ish additions: An Ally router plate from PWS, and a solid phenolic one if they have them in stock - I really need to make a router table/extension wing for my table saw and I want to be able to change the position of the router depending on what I wam working on.


I was looking at the new 'story stick' from the same place, but looking at the US site, they only have imperial markings :C

[Wongo]

then the last minute wallet emptying round with the Wongster:U

Yes the last minute tour of duty. Some sanding discs, sandpaper, a few router bits, knobs, wax... the list goes on. :D

[Sebastiaan56]

Some gouges for carving, preferably older ones, timber, timber, timber.

[yjnb]
