Thread: Canberra Show

Your famous Trav you got your shot taken by paparazzi

Have a great show guys. I'm really wishing I'd organised my surgery for next Monday

I will be there for about ten minutes tomorrow afternoon to pick up some wood I've ordered but I'm at the mercy of my driver and I will have a few kids in tow as well.

Just got home after spending a very enjoyable 3 hours or so at the show. It seems smaller every year I go, but I still get more out of it than going to the Sydney show - people have more time to have a chat, less schoolkids underfoot on the Friday, still plenty to see and do.

Saw lots, learned a bit from a few people, and with glorious Canberra weather thrown in.

Well done to Dave and the Canberra members for the volunteering on WWF stand....
Thanks for the photos.....

That's good to over view of the show. Hope you guys have a great time and get to chat to lots of people.

You enjoy it though? Get stumped with any crazy questions? Lol you going ti Evans thingo tonight?

I also had a good day the weather was great, but is also seems to be getting smaller , but still had a great time with lots of chatting and some help from the blokes at the wood work forum stand

Today was my first time attending the Canberra Show, especially as I had already done the Sydney Show earlier on, but I had good reason for attending today excellent weather and a good friend for company. Thanks Steve (Hermit).

Only downer is that my wife gets to see my credit card statement before I can burn it.

Whet, as in sharpen, is probably way to treat our appetites.

I dropped by to pick up my wood and my chauffeur said we had time for a quick look. I got a couple of good sized turning blanks, the three blackwood slabs which were pre-ordered which will become an entertainment unit for todays driver and the driver got a nice little bowl blank and given me instructions to turn it into a 'change' bowl for her.

I love that we have a show locally and I hope we have one in the future but I do have to wonder how much longer Canberra can support a standalone wood show.
