Satan, behind me

Was he trying to jump the line? He IS evil so you have to expect that I guess.
Go on Nick. Just say "bugger it, I'll take one of each"

I was at the Maleny wood show today talking to Terry and Trent who were I believe there demonstrating for the first time. The show is getting better each year in my opinion, and magnificent weather always helps.

Can I just say that it was great to try out Terry's dado planes in particular. I only hope that we get enough demand to ensure that they get included in the buy now. They are simple and logical to use, with a minimum of setup. I don't own any of his planes yet, but after today in particular, I will soon enough.

Trent's chisels are something else. They are pleasing on the eye, and have better balance in my opinion than other modern brands I've tried. Although it was the first time I'd seen them in the flesh today, I have no doubts about now proceeding with a full set as part of this group buy.

These guys work is of the highest standard, and in today's mindset and market, it's a credit to them.

I have seen Terry at the Brisbane show in the past, not sure if Trent will be there this year, but I cant recommend enough going and seeing them if it wasn't on your radar.

Put me down for a set of 6 chisels[1/4'-1'] from Trent and a tail vise from Terry.

Which chisels were they Nick?

Brett,

I may need to be corrected however he had a set of Ultimax (these were sublime), a few of the contractors chisels (which are also amazing, too good in my opinion - or maybe I just think my vintage Stanleys that I use for clunking would be jealous), and one or maybe two other mortice or firmer chisels (not a pigsticker though).

He had a couple of tool rolls, but they were not those that will be in this buy - the new ones are 'better' he said.

A leather strop was also there.

He teased with a vintage Titan saying the cabinet range will more 'like this'. Couldn't picture it myself cause I don't think any 'example' that isn't the real deal will do them justice.
