Thread: Perth wood show

I'll probably be there on a Sunday. I will wear a black and red cap with Wongdai on the back.

I'm hoping to pick up a Sheppach wet grinder for cheap.

Any one planning to be there?

I expect to be there at least one day. I don't have any purchases planned, I've just pruned my shopping list, but I'm interested in learning.

So what kind of things would people like to see at demonstration workshops?

Good point.
Many demonstrators will present what they think would be of interest to members, and I am no exception. For many years I have tried to vary what I would present when doing my demonstrations and usually it is some of the New Routing Techniques I have developed over the year and this year will be no exception. But it would help if there were some recommendations from say members of the forum. We all like to see something new and like Marginata I will be there for three days and seldom get the time to visit round the show. We all like to see new tools and machinery and the new jigs and templates that have come on to the market, but if there were more demonstrations presenting the tools or jigs the show would be more interesting to attend.

Give some thought to "What you would like to see presented" and submit your requests. Last year I presented a video presentation, for two reasons, I was unable to do any practical demos. The first was I thought I could present more information and viewers could see more of what I was trying to do, I had spent three months in the preparation of the material at a less stressful pace, the other reason was I am getting too old to push a router for three days and you would only see a small section of what I had to offer.

Going to be there, don't know what day.
Trying to get some money together, might purchase might not. Making a list, checking it twice.

Hey Dave, you could do a demo on the functions of a well made bench and the need for a well made workbench. How it benefits the user and the quality of the work, making it easier and simpler.

I will be looking for traditional methods of woodworking and traditional tools.

Lately I was given the opportunity to give my opinion on a new router soon to be released on the market. It has many good features added, not available on the original model. I have been trying it out for a month and I will be doing a video of it in action to give as a video demonstration at the show along with my other routers. So you may like to view it before you make your next or first purchase. I am in no way connected to the company producing the router but I was interested in giving my opinion of the new model.

Tom

Sounds intriguing...

Looking forward to the wood show this year, got a few purchases I've been holding off on.

Has any sort of programme/schedule been released yet?

Template Tom,

I'm in the market for a new router, so I look forward to meeting you and getting your opinions on an appropriate router.

Is there any particular time/day that you will be at the Show?

Regards,
Mike

I think this http://www.trueblue-exhibitions.com.au/WAWoodShow.htm is about all at this stage.

I will be there all three days and I can be located in the top floor, where I usually have my demonstration area. I am not sure if the new router will be available for sale at the show as I believe they are waiting for the delivery, hopefully it will be there on time. I will have one or maybe two for you and others to look at. I will also introduce some new routing techniques that I have been working on over the year. Some new material I have not displayed before and also a great number of other project material that you may have missed at the last show.

Do give me a visit and introduce yourself and if I can assist you in any way I will.

Tom

I've just received my Wood Show brochure in the mail and the website at http://www.trueblue-exhibitions.com.au/WAWoodShow.htm has all the details too.

I'll probably be there Saturday and Sunday as there are a number of demonstrations I want to go to. See you there

All my efforts to present some new routing techniques have come to a stop. I will be unable to make any presentations this year as I have been diagnose with a dose of the Shingles which will prevent me from introducing these techniques.
Tom

Tom
,
Thanks for message. Sorry to hear about the shingles.

No doubt we will catch up some day.

Regards,

Mike

Ouch! I had the shingles a while back and I know what you are going through - it ain't pleasant! I'm sure your doctor has told you though that the condition can be triggered by stress or worry in some cases. Whether or not it is the case, its a good excuse to book a holiday, I reckon!
