I didn't see a score thread, and it was one of my favorite things after the show last year, so I thought I'd start one. Post a list of scores, brags, gifts, whatever. .....
This year I came home with (in no order whatsoever) :
Taunton press guide to Trim carpentry by Craig Savage (one of the best on that topic I have now but a little bit dated for technique)
a Stiletto titanium cat's paw bar (I know it sounds like a joke but for reals)
a Stiletto cold shrink handle wrap for my hammer
a set of Benchdog Featherboards
a Festool T15+3 set (you didn't think I could spend all weekend in Anthony's booth and not leave with something didja? This is what's known as "going broke working")
a Festool Centrotec set (see above)
a Festool sys1 screwbox (above again)
I didn't get a chance to look for a better blade for my low angle Stanley Block plane, and thankfully I didn't get a chance to hang around moon eyed at the Lie Nielson booth and replace it altogether. It's a good hobby when you always have something to look forward to.
Thanks to every single exhibitor that gave me a bit of money off whatever I bought without asking, even though it was a tough year for some. I had a great time, despite the fact that I'm no salesman (I worked in the Ideal Tools booth) , and I already can't wait for next year. It was great meeting F2F the forumites I hadn't, and seeing again the people I knew from last year. :2tsup:
