    Thumbs up Artisans Wood & Craft Expo

    HI Guys & Gals
    No Newcastle show this year, but you can still get your fix at the Artisans Expo on the 25th & 26th February at Artisans Retreat near Taree.
    There is a downloadable flyer with more details at this post in woodies events
    https://www.woodworkforums.com/f25/ar...bruary-130522/
    Let me know if you are coming so the Manning Woodworkers club can have plenty of stuff for the barbie!
    Cheers

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    Will put some pictures on tonight but went for a drive in the country thismorning to the Artisans Retreat wood extravaganza. Had a short chat with Peter but he was a busy man. He was turning some great little Huon bowls, the local Manning club on there carving stand, fretwork/scroll saws, pyro work, guitars, green wood turning with a pole lathe etc from Rare Chairs of Moonan Brook.
    Trend Timbers there with a good assortment of carving tools, turning tools, Ubeat products (bought a few home) Moggy tools with his sand paper, rasps etc etc
    Artisans Retreat gallery and cafe is all very nice too and well worth a drive if you are anywhere within cooee. Peter is hopeing (at this stage) that it will grow and be bigger next year but I was happy with my drive in the country and a bit of retail therapy.
    Had a sausage sanger and motored home.

    Ok, few shots of the happenings, did meet BobR in the car park but then missed catching up once I was inside. I arrived a little after 10.00 and it was already starting to get busy. There was a bus load of kids but they were all well behaved and very interested in what Peter had happening.

    Many thanks Claw!
    Sorry we didn't get a chance to sit & have a decent chat while you were here.
    Love the pics - I didn't get much of a chance to take some myself - grabbed a few quick shots on Friday but that was it. Do you mind if I use some of your pics on website etc?
    Had a few people turn up on Sunday - so they checked out the gallery, had coffee & went on their way!
    Already planning for Artisans Expo next year - taking on board some very constructive comments collected over the 2 days this year.
    Now to get the shed back into work mode & get stuck into some production!

    For those who would like to say hi to me - I will be at Trend Open Days on Fri 18th & Sat 19th March.
    See you there!
    Cheers
