Thread: Who is coming to Artisans Expo?

Next time you're down this way you'll have to call in for a cuppa and an Anzac

So how was it guys, a good time had by all. Tony will be out to give me grief I'm sure

No grief mate. You can't pass up free stuff.
But just to rub it in, it was really good. Spent most of the day there chatting.
Confirmed that I will be doing Howard Archbold's chair making course next year, signed up for a blacksmithing course with Doug Moseley and had a good chat with Colen Clenton and bought one of his 6' Ebony squares as well as some other stuff from Trend and the blacksmith stand.
A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
Will be back again next year for sure.

Bbarst d,, I would have liked to have had a chat with old mate the blacksmith too. My new workshop will have enough room for a small forge I'm sure. I bought another small anvil yesterday arvo on a trip to Morpeth with Tack Hama. Where abouts is old mate the smithy at? I know Howard is up Scone way isn't he?
Picked up almost enough timber framing to do one floor of petition wall so saving quite a bit.
Drove past the new digs today and saw the previous tenant taking out the skate board ramps, good sign. I am just chafing at the bit to get in there. Tomorrow I will start the security bars, they shouldn't take too long.
Nice little purchase there too, I got the 4" ebony at Sydney last year, very sweet.

Yep Howard is at Moonan Brook near Scone. Doug Moseley is based in Port Macquarie but he has a brilliant mobile setup. Have a look at SG's blog. He has some pics and details for the expo.
By the way, I am so impressed by the quality of Colen's tools that I will be adding to my square purchase when funds allow.
