...bump!

Less than a month to go!
Even a couple of friends from work have booked tables to clear out deceased estate stuff.

See you there.

Well, there are the only two tool merchants in Australia up there in the North. Perhaps the strong woodworking activity up there could organise a sale?

Only a week to go, 70+ tables of tools in a large (ie there is room to walk around) hall

No problem, there is flat entry from the street, and there is a lift from the underground parking area (no steps). There will be TTTG people around to help (I have a table this year, need to shift some stuff, and I will be selling NOS saw files I picked up in the US - so will not be on the door).

Cheers

1A Dartford Road Thornleigh (off Pennant Hills Road)

$5.00 entry

Over 50 tables of Quality Old Tools
All types of user and collectable hand tools
Hand tools to suit Tradesmen, Amateurs and Collectors
Hand Tools for all Traditional Trades

Plenty of Parking, great venue with lots of room

Reasonably priced refreshments


The 2014 Sale was a great success, make sure you do not miss 2015, promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Quietly seething with jealousy down here in the boondocks of southern Tasmania.

Just got home from the TTTG tool sale many kgs heavier but not too many dollars lighter! I went with 62woollybugger who wanted to get a Record405 with extra blades and, having just missed one on eBay, he had set a target price and got one at less than half that price in less than 10 minutes!
it is funny though to see so many of us older gentlemen rushing into the hall with unseemly haste at 9:00:00 all hoping to get that 'special and essential thing' even though we all want a different 'special and essential thing' and could have walked in!
I'm happy with my haul but didn't wait for the lucky door prize. For me, I felt lucky just being there,
fletty

Well said Alan, although you went home lighter than anticipated that item is sitting here. Boss thought they were mine .

A good day after a bit of a late arrival due to weather and trying to get in the car at home between down pours.

I had gone with only the hope of finding something I may need, I came home with two items I would never have considered picking up a reversing electric switch for the Myford and an anologue height gauge. Thanks to Pacman's Lifline stall I scored two books on spinning for Sue that keeps me in the good books.

I had to do a few rounds to see all as fighting to get near tables was often difficult, one lady suggested its time I fit the old Roman style chariot wheel swords to the wheels and cut you blokes down to size.


Peter a great morning thanks pity there isn't two a year.

Well, that might happen one day, but the 2nd will not be at Thornleigh unfortunately - this is the ONLY Sunday when the Basketball court is available. A suitable location South of the River would be ideal.

Great to see people and have a chat, although I don't think I sold much to forum members...

See you all there next year.

By south of the river Peter you mean the Parramatta River don't you and a little more west would be good say round Liverpool, Camden
