Tea constantly straight from the tea pot wouldn't change that DJ

Every year I look at that and every year I say I'll get one still don't have one.


Some where about 2ish I got an SMS asking where my ears burning of course they were I was outside in the sun sanding a cabinet Christos. Now a nice day or 3 for spraying and I'll have a .

Enjoy the show gents and gentesses.

PS. Save me some

I was on at arvo tea time so I thought it best to provide and eat Anzacs.

Sorry mate they're all gone.

I had better bring some supplies then.

Fletty scoffed the lot I bet followed closely behind by Christos and Claw Hammer.

I am looking for a deal on a small belt sander 10/20 preferably or 16/32
Is there any point coming to the show?
I dont want to wander around aimlessly spending money?
Do the prices drop on Sunday afternoon, surely the suppliers dont want to take all that heavy machinery back to their shops?

Damn, I didn't see any ANZAC biscuits from when we got the power sorted for the 2 urns & the water cooler, till I left at 1.30pm......Thanks all.....

Case of quick n dead Peter

I took some in one the stands first time put them on the table turned around to say Hi to someone back to make a tea and grab an ANZC gone they'd scoffed the lot.

Little did they know I had my own stash

Thanks for the WWF stand. Enjoyed a nice cup of tea, chatting with Claw. I had a great day, and I think this location is better than Moore Park. Managed to spend some money...

Got a new Festool sander (Rotex RO 150), a Veritas block plane, lots of timber, a selection of finishes, and a backpack full of odds-and-ends. Very happy!

School kids were numerous, but well behaved today. It is nice when they leave though.

I also met Alex Snodgrass - forumites may know him from his youtube videos on how to set up a bandsaw. He's demonstrating a couple of guide-sets for bandsaws, and does heaps of demonstrations on how to cut veneers. Really interesting guy.

The food was OK too, although predictably expensive.

All in all, a great show. I look forward to this day every year, and I'm happy to say that the change of venue is a positive from my perspective.

Hope others find it as enjoyable as I did.

Home now.
Had a good day, spent some time at THE LOUNGE and put more faces to more names. The display area is basically a very fat figure '8' but the circularity of the 2 halls was rather off putting. Maybe older males need rectangularity to find their way around?
In general, equipment prices seemed low and timber prices seemed high. Maybe it's the strong Oz dollar.
I spent more than expected (the same as every year) and will save any timber purchases to when I return on Sunday. I'm on LOUNGE LIZARD duty 12 to 1 on Sunday!
In previous years I would have dropped my booty off at various daughters to reappear as birthday gifts BUT as the show is later this year my birthday is next week and the booty is all with ME!
It was a good day, great company, lots to see .... and ANZACS!
