I've been a very naughty boy at the WWW show

[Grumpy John]

In RSSR's (Ern) absence and seeing as Jefferson was a no show at the WWW show I think I have taken over as the new tool junkie. I dropped over a grand at the show today, the list of goodies is:
Bowl Saver
Sorby Spiralling & Texturing System
Escoulen Chuck, M30 Ball, Ball Adaptor, M30 Faceplate
Escoulen DVD
Neil's Polishing Bible

Jim loves me, but I don't think was too impressed (he hates gimmicks). The only purchase he prolly approves of is Neil's bible .

What did others buy?

[Groggy]

and the lot of it nearly came home with me. Curses, two minutes and I would have had to take it home for 'safe keeping'.

Nice haul John, I will ring your missus tomorrow if I remember

[issatree]

Hi Grumpy, Groggy, Stinky & to all,
What a great Show, All that room. Hope Stinky tell you all of his Entries in the Royal Geelong Agri. Show this same weekend, & he is good with Pics as well, so we may see all his Entries.
All the great stuff available to buy. Issatree's pockets are very very deep.
Was going to look at the Hamlet 3/8" 2060 Gouge, No Go. Asked around, told not to bother as you have to have a Black Wheel to Sharpen the thing. Asked hughie about it, & he will most likely get back to me.

The one thing that has taken off is Buying a Tormek Wet Grinder/Sharpener.
Told to stay back awhile & watch the guys Demoing the Tormek, & he said they have to Restraighten the wheel for the next day. Anyway I don't have 600+, & I think I can get my Chisels Sharp enough for what I do, as I have a 60G. & a 120G wheels,& I keep them in good condition,

I've bought, some Queen Ebony, Small Eye Screws, Easy Lap 102mm x 52mm. 800G. that came off it's wood stand, brand new $10.
A piece of 8 x 8mm. HSS 230mm long, from McJing. Can't fault this Steele, good enough for me.
A few pieces of Houn tomorrow, for Spurtles & the likes.
That's about all the buys I'll have.

Might like the have the Off Centre Chuck, but how many times will I use it.

It sure was Great to meet all the Forum People today, I just hope I can remember them all.
Regards,
issatree.

As Groggy said you're lucky to get home with that haul.

Just as well your missus is working late John ...time enough to hide all that loot.

As to what I bought at the show, well if'n Groggy had'nt led me astray then I would have got away with a clean bill of health for the credit card.

cheers

Was a good day at WWW as usual. Good to see a lot of interest at the Forum stand. I'm always happy if I come away learning at least one new thing about turning.

Having bought a decent dust mask, new chuck and Tormek turning kit to install on the bench grinder kept me smiling all day. Finally remember I had a camera in the bag and snapped some forum members hard at work on the stand.

Grumpy John was grinning from ear to ear. I spent a hell of a lot less than I thought I would. Two blokes were writing their names on the Walnut I came to buy just as I spotted it. I bought a slab of Mulberry, a pack of colour-coded paper, a few bits and pieces and a plane.

I met up with a few other forumites which was great and actually got to say hello to Neil at long last. He's not as bad as everyone makes out.

jeez what a hall. :faint: All I'm gonna get is a micro detail gouge.

[munruben]

Sounds like its a good show.

[artme]

I usually get tossed out of the Brisie show for dribbling on things I can't afford.

[orificiam]

Hi to everyone I'd like to take this opportunity to Thank the Staff of the Forum for providing a place to seat and rest and recharge with a good cup of coffee or two.
It was great to meet a couple of forumites.
Thanks again.
Cheers Tony.

I snaffled a saw blade from Sawstop, the rotten thing had a blue and silver thing like a brake caliper fused to it so I don't know that I'll be able to use the damn thing Also got a superseded nicad Metabo 18v cordless drill.

It wasn't even good at that, seemed to stall big time whenever the demonstrator tried to make a cut .
