    Default Sturt School Event

    I went last year on one day and found this an eye opener and unless its pouring buckets I am heading down again this year. Closer contact with presenters in a very relaxed environment. Being able to wander between the master tool makers.

    Hi Ray

    did you check out the little WoodRiver chisel plane Jim had?
    Cast stainless by the look of it .

    we must have missed each other.
    I arrived just as after Stuart got going with his jig and veneering demo -- GREAT value

    Ian that means you were down the hill when I was still in side chatting, I left not long after about 1ish.

    Some real nice tools all round. I did see the chisel plane not sure who's table.

    Loved the plank of QLD Walnut colour and size.

    Tempted by the two Blackwood bits @$20 each again nice figure.
