    Question

    Does anyone know if he will be exhibiting the jig at the Melbourne Working with Wood Show in October. If so, does he offer the jig at a reduced price to normal; ie is it worth waiting to buy it direct from the show?
    Cheers,

    Yes, they will be at the Melbourne show, stand number 80. Just received an email from Jenny Gifkin and there will be a show special.
    Methinks she has been watching this post as I did not ask about a show special but I would like to see one working.(jig)
    By the way Gaz, did you get my emails?
    Might see some of you at the show as I intend going this year, Watching Tom Manly?, I usually manage to run into you there, God knows I try to avoid you

    I recently used the Gifkins Jig for the first time a couple of weeks ago.I was extremly impressed with the results.
    the jig was very easy to use and produced absolutly perfect dovetails within minutes.
    there was no tedius setting up and trial/error cuts required,it just worked beautifully straight out of the box.Highly recommended!!!!

    Welcome aboard Bruce and thankyou for your comments on the Gifkins jig, I intend to look at one at the working with wood in Melbourne late Oct.
    We look forward to your contributions and Neil will buy coffee for all new members who attend the working with wood show
    I must ask though after looking at your profile, what bait do you use to catch Spearfish?

    Would have to be "Come-in-spinner" wouldn't it???

    Neil is as tight as they come, there's no way he will be buying anyone a cup of coffee. Unless you want to use his cup and go for a refill of the bottomless cup.

    I reckon if is there to hold Neils hand two cant run the lathe at the same time so.....................if he's got one of them portable coffee makers he'll contribute to many more good turns on that day!
    Then if he can make a few bob on the first day.............then maybe he can fly Shane down from Mackay and me over from W.A.on the second day to help out with the coffee.
    All those in favour reply with a yeah to this post and if we get this topic burnin' we just gotta be on a winner.
    Cheers and with baited breath
