Sydney Forum Stand 2012 - HELP WANTED

[Claw Hama]

Yes, your absense was noted, you betta have a note from your Mum. I'll post a couple of pics of the booty tomorrow. Got a couple of amazing piece of Coolabah. You have managed to get some booty even though you didn't front up, you have done well.

Well what a great day eh? As others have said it's always good to put a face to the fingertips. I've had telecons with some of the fingertips, so even better to match the voices to the faces. Bloody hell, it was even almost a pleasure catching up with Sawdust Maker.

Well with the organising done Christos - thanks to you and to Neil for making it all happen.

This was indeed my first show, and I did hearspeak of "will it be the last?". I certainly hope not, but after that i made a point of asking some of the exhibitors how the day had been, and they were all +ve (I suppose you'd expect that) but a couple went a yard further to say "better than last year".

Today was for timber and catchups, and Sunday is for tools.

ozhunter gave me a lift home with my first serious load of timber, so TVM for that Adam, much appreciated. It has to be said the Adam got the timber score of the day (as well as the tool score of the day but I'd better not comment on that). He approached the Lucas Mill chappies and scored a whopping load of Spotty and Blue Gum for a stupid price which was just as well as I suspect it cost a few $$ in diesel to get it home.

So, if you can wait for a couple of years for useable timber (and can store it) go and see the Lucas chaps out the front early up and get them to keep it for you.

Just landed home from the show. Had a good day, met a few of the forumites and seen lots of goodies and bought a few of them home.

The pic is of most of the goodies and what I consider my buy of the year. 12 lengths of Spotted Gum 2.6 long, rough sawn 6x2's. Got them from the Lucas man out the front, good and cheap. Plus 6 2.6 lengths of 4x2 Sydney Bluegum at the best price. Anyone that wants this sort of timber should approach the Lucas man, very friendly and good to deal with. Can't remember his name though.

I can feel a bench coming on (in a year or two when it dries)

Got some NG Rosewood, LN dowel plate, a couple of books and some DVD's and a few other odds and ends.

Starting to plan for next year, only 364 or so sleeps

EDIT: FF must have been posting while I was trying to spell my name right. I'll ring you tomorrow FF, I left a piece of timber behind. Hopefully Greg from Boutique will recognise it

So you'll beat Bushmiller then. Couldn't even remember to cut his down when he (too recently to avoid embarrassment) visited his own property, upon which said earmarked Spotty is still growing. Perhaps Paul is going for the variable thickness look, or summint.

Err, yes apparently so. I'm just wondering what's been posted while I've typed this. By the way, you didn't write your name, or did you just give up?

The Sydney Working with Wood at Homebush on 27th, 28th and 29th of July 2012 needs Volunteers.

Once again we will be hosting the Forum Lounge thanks to the generosity of Impressive Exhibitions.

However to make it work we need volunteers to man the stand for short periods over the three days and more importantly we need someone prepared to organise the volunteers, roster, setup, etc.

• All volunteers get free admission to the show.
  
  
• The organiser not only gets free admission, but also all the hassles, joys and rewards that go with any organising job

Any volunteers please put your names down in this thread and anyone stupid brave enough to want the organisers job please speak up.

Others who have gone before will be glad to help with any info or advice you may need.

[Sturdee]

An early volunteer for next year's show.
