Thread: U, Beaut & at Brisbane WWW Show

Will you guys be selling foilies hat the show

I plan to be there on the Sunday. Have to work on Saturday so hopefully a few bargains to be had on the last day of the show. I too was wondering about the sale of foilies on the day.

If you hadn't already gathered I'm back from the tropical north just in time for the wood show.
It was overcast up there for a lot of my stay too, but thtas not such a bad thing, still ran the aircon at night.


any way I will be there saturday to meet everybody, will probably drop in tomorrow and maybe sunday If I get realy keen.
cheers

Ok im outta here, on the road at 5 tomorrow so i can be at the gates of the www show at 10 tomorrow. hope to meet as many of you woodies as i can tomorrow and saturday, mobile phone will be on, 0402 125 994, nite all

Tom and I won't be able to make it till Sunday:eek: (but we'll be there all day! ). We've got a wedding to go to on Saturday...

However, since I work so close to the RNA showgrounds, I did happen to duck down quickly in my lunch hour and have a quick race around. There were so many school kids I was hard pressed getting a look at anything! Have to wait till Sunday ... Tom is on 040 165 9274 and I'm on 041 345 9758. Hope to see you there!

Cheers

Hi,

I won't make tomorrow, Saturday, either. Still can't face the drive down yet

Sorry guys, here's hoping I can make it Sunday, at least.

Cheers
Wendy

PS enjoy those coffees and banana-choc-chip muffins for me
and leave me some hard shellac? Please??

Woe is me! finished work today at 2pm and leave to go north for a few days at 12 tomorrow Frustratingly, leaves almost enough time to queue at the door and run around then run out, but not quite. They certainly keep gentleman's hours:mad:
Cheers

heres some views of neil ,paulien & robo doing some hard graft at the wood show.
Note Wendys smilin' face purchasing product.

I had the best time at the show. There's lots I forgot to look at but at least I made it this year.

I picked up my next two month's supply of Hard Shellac, some little sharpening stones, a box lock, a few little things from the turning clubs to support them, a wooden scoop for my wooden spoon collection, some aus cedar from Mal at Boutique, some lovely myrtle, a bundle of scraps of different woods, some I've never heard of at all - they will be fun to play with and a stack of catalogues for a friend.

I caught up with Soundman, Kunchy, Just George, Dan & Tom and U, Beaut and , the axe-wielding sweetheart (It worked, I bought 2 bottles instead of one )

Tom from Sturt's School of Woodworking spotted me walking along with my bundle of timber and just had to try to talk me into going to his School - I was tempted, Very tempted

Met Chris Vesper, drooled over his tools. Met Roger Griffins, got his autograph - damm, should have taken my book of boxes and got him to autograph his photo as well

Delivered some sheoak to Major Panic. Thank you for the life-saving coffee and biscuits. Life-saving in two ways, one being restorative after an exhausting but exhilarating day and I think you may have saved me from getting caught in a bad accident at Karina Downs. So a big Thank You!!

It was a pretty non-eventful trip home after the stop/start of getting past the accident scene, but the line-up of traffic coming into Brisbane was huge!!!! It went for about 3-5 kms, due to another earlier accidental exactly opposite the one I missed - yep - perhaps rubberneckers caused the second accident.

Then, just as I was entering the home straight, my nose decided to bleed.

Anyway, after dealing with all that, I made it home by 7pm exactly. What a great day out!!!!

cheers
Wendy

Drat,there's another thing I forgot to look for

Hi Everyone,

Finally made it on Sunday after my Saturday morning appointment rang long :mad:

Got to catch up with Soundman and Ruffly and have some of Soundman's chocolate cake

Got to meet Neil and at the U-Beaut stand and got some great restoring advice off Neil (which also meant purchasing some product )

My other big spend of the day was a purchase of a Bandsaw from Gary Pye which I'll pick up this weekend (Soundman, I couldn't quite stretch to the 17" )

Anyways thats my short summary of the day, it was great to see some old faces and to meet some new forumites.

Cheers,
Krunchy.

Yep I had a great time on Sunday at the show. Finally met Neil and and had the chance to put a couple of faces to the names we see so much. Got a few good bargains from the show as well. I'm now thinking about a gifkins jig after meeting Roger and seeing it in action
