Calling for Volunteers to man the Woodwork Forums stand at the Brisbane T&WWW Show!!

[Robomanic]

Hi guys and girls,

I'll be lurking around in the afternoon in my black and yellow More than happy to help out on the stall for an hour between 1-4. PM me in the morning and let me know if you have a preference, but I'll prob just check in and say hi when I get there.

Looking forward to meeting any brisforumites after moving up here in November from Melbourne. FC I see you changed your day, that is too bad cos I can't make it Sunday.

Cheers
Michael

Photos!! I have a few photos

For TeaLady - My Haul of Goodies, still more to get, of course Books and a bit of timber. I couldn't go past this thin board of figured New Gineau Rosewood though, a bit of ebony, huon, blackbean, rose gum, and myrtle.

I saw a very interesting piece of spalted silver ash but didn't get it, I might if it is still there on sunday though

Other photos - journeymanMick and I,
All of the crew who manned the stand and a couple of Forumites - John, Bob38s (at the pc), journeymanMick, Terry, Linda, Mic-d and Wood Butcher.

The lasy photo is the stand of Phil the Toymaker Heads up - Phil has very kindly offered to host a Forum GTG at his place in July.

Hope you are all having a great time at the Show. I did and I can't wait to be there tomorrow for more.

cheers
Wendy

Wonder if I need to bring me back something to turn that wooden flute out of too. Something else you can have a snoop around for Wendy.

Where are the piccies of Kneel and Poorlean????

why aren't you there taking them still lazing around home fishing??

You coming to Sydney??

[Tankstand]

The stand is a great idea!

So Jealous of you all, hanging out for our Adelaide show.

Would a similar stand work in Adelaide? Maybe a part of Ubeaut's stand?

Ruffly, I love the file name of the group photo, sounds like you had fun!

[wheelinround]

Ok Wendy so what's on special??
What do you and those other forumites recomend ??
Have Munruben & artme turned up yet weighed down with pen blanks & kits.??

I see 043turning just across the way

Yes, I reckon a similar stand would work out in Adelaide, pick a Coordinator and go for it. Woops!!!! I should be a tad more careful with photo names

What's on special? There are/were heaps of thin box boards. I remember a stand inside with what looked like top-quality boards and long turning blanks of sass and huon and other timbers - just right for extra-large salt and pepper grinders. Nothing really jumped out at me in terms of superdooper specials though as I did a lot of speed browsing.... I hope to have more of a chance to browse again tomorrow

Visited the stand on Fri.
Wendy I appologise for not saying g'day . You were computing busily away and I had a 'hot deal' to seal at the Carbatec stand with Wayne for the Tormek T-7.
Great bargain, saved over $300 but it took some arm-bending .

I watched Guilio demonstrating turning a winged bowl and bowl with scalloped rim. Very impressed. Now I need to modify my lathe to have an indexing ring and I'll be set.

After about 5 hours I'd had enough and battled the traffic back out to Ipswich.

Woops!!!! I should be a tad more careful with photo names..

I got my virtual hug from .... looks like I missed out on the Friday.... umm... special?

I see 043turning just across the way

Yes, we turned up first thing this morning Ray. Met up outside with Neil (dai sensei) and John (Gawdelus) Greeted by another John (black hole) and it snowballed from there Cliff Rogers, Shannon (Robomanic) Peter (Star) Phil (Prime Mover) and the Royal family at the Ubeaut stand.
My apologies to those I have left out, I met so many is difficult to recall everyone's name off the top of my head.
Arthur and I did our stint at the forum stand and made the stand our base for the day so it was great to have somewhere to keep coming back to and talk to so many friendly people.
Unfortunately we didn't catch up with Wendy today, she wasn't there, but I heard she did a wonderful job yesterday and is due back again tomorrow.

The show was good, not as busy as most exhibitors would have liked probably but there was a good steady crowd so hopefully everyone did well.

043 turning was just opposite the forum stand and had some good stuff to browse over.

I ended up buying a couple of bandsaw blades, a few pen kits and couple of blanks. 3 bottles of Ryobi PVA glue for $10 a 7mm drill bit and some pen bushes. Nothing major this year but it was a great day.

It was terrific to meet up with some more forumites and put a face to some more names. Thanks guys for a great day.
