someone please - is the canberra show liek the sydney show or more like the newcastle show ? (Ie big and small) lets say Syd is a 10 and Newcastle is a 1 - where does canberra sit ? (Besides the home of lots of hot air!)

I haven't been to any of the other shows to compare, but it certainly looks large enough when I have been to previous Canberra shows and I have never thought, "Gee, there is barely anything here."

I went to both shows in 2003 and I don't remember anything not being at the Canberra show that was at the Sydney show

But if something that wasn't not at the Sydney show, but was not at the Canberra show, wouldn't it follow that it couldn't not have been at the Canberra show because it wasn't actually not there. Unless of course they left it at the Sydney show in the first place. :confused:

Went today (fri) only saw 2 foilies.

Spent up on camphor blanks($200) then went into over spend on a set of Vicmark jaws.

Got out with only a slightly bent card.
Have to wait till next year for the vacuum chuck.

Will be back Sun afternoon at 4pm to help move some stuff back to the Guild.

I went to Sydney's this year and Canberra's today (and tomorrow and the day after ... my weekend of bliss!). My guess would be that the Canberra show is about 25 - 30% of the floor space of Sydney.

I saw Numbat, DavidG and Baz (no excuses about too many caps for next year Baz ... you'll just have to shell out for another cap! ... if I had to wear long pants, you can get another cap!!!). I also saw Wingingpom on one of the stands as well.

I picked up a T'con mobile base for the TSC-10HB which should arrive on my doorstep on monday!!!! ... so the WWW show is like four days of excitment for me!

Wow! I'll have to get to Sydney next year for a looksee!!

I went to the Canberra show yesterday from Sydney and haven't been to the Sydney or any other wood show before. I have a dent in the card and picked up some bargins in both matchines and timber. I spent from 10 am till after 2 pm and was very impressed. Several people told me Sydney is so packed it is not a comfortable experience.

I'm happy and have new toys to play with and new skills to acquire.

I have a dent in the card

I smashed my card, smashed it real good. Hell I gave it such a hiding it's still cowering in the corner crying, "Please don't hit me again, Massah! PLEASE! I's be a good little card fro now on, Massah! Just don't hit me again!!!"

Oh yeah, I pick up my DVR3000 (plus chuck and legs) tomorrow!
