As hinted on Waka's thread. Us Kent dwellers have been thinking about putting together a Bash in this part of the world. MarkW wanted to hold it at his place but he's busy in the first quarter of next year and doesn't think he'll be ready in time. So Simon of OryxDesign has kindly offered to throw open his doors and welcome all who covet the tool porn and wood fetishists at large.

He's in Staplehurst near Maidstone. The workshop is a short walk from the station, should anyone want to travel that way. The date will be 6th March 2010

As you know, Simon is a commercial woodworker who makes some stunning kitchens, bedrooms etc. He's got some industrial machinery but, like Brad, he hides a secret passion for hand tools and hardwood.

We'll flesh out the details nearer the time. But for now, I just want to get a show of hands or a grunt of interest. Just so we can get an idea of numbers, etc.

So what say you?

I hope my wifes not reading this, it was only last week Mike dropped me in it, I caught her looking for all those planes I had hidden in the workshop.
 
I'm always up for bashing some kentish men (or are you men of kent ?) ;) :D


joking aside I might be up for it date, work, and swimbo permitting.
 
Thought it would be miles too far, never been out that way before :shock: , but just checked on google maps and only an hour and a half away, so closer than Waka's, so yes please :D !!!

Cheers, Paul :D
 
Me too...might have to pop into Axminster at Sittingbourne (vaguely) on the way through!

depending where you are , north hampshire's damn nearly on the way to kent from north wiltshire so I could may be pick you up on the way and share fuel exes ;) - I drive a focus estate so plenty of room for impulse purchaes on the side trip to the axminster shop at sittingbourne.
 
I've been meaning to visit Simon as I only live 5mins walk from his workshop!

I can't be more than a maybe for those dates as our first child is due on the 7th! First are normally late though aren't they?
 
Hey guys, this is a social, not a shopping trip! Ooh......and I need to hear that there will be no rotating wood involved before fully committing. :D

Mike
 
Sorry Mike, I can't make those sorts of promises.... :D
 
Mike, go all 80s on them, pack a blade and slice the drive belts on all those lathes/spinning jennys/ravelling nancies :twisted:
