Best place / price to get a proedge

[Stoatally]

I've been thinking, advice seems to be that this is about the best kit out there for sharpening turning tools and will do chisels etc as well.

I'm new to woodworking so no idea where is best to buy from. Handles have a good deal on their deluxe plus model but no stock until May.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good site / shop to pick one up at? Anyone seen any decent deals?

I'm base in Bristol area

Cheers

Not a proedge, but these look a very reasonable price: http://www.poolewood.co.uk/product/sche ... 903203946/

I got mine from ockendon timber, they were the cheapest I could find. We were on holiday in shropshire so I picked it up and had a browse in the shop too, nice place!

You could pay a visit to Yandles before you go and any large items could possibly be bought by phoning the manufacturer and asking for the show sale price. They could then ship to you after you return, maybe free postage also ? Worth a try as I have bought this way when not being able to attend a couple of shows.

I live 5 minutes from Yandles, so no prizes for guessing where I'll be next weekend.
Happy to pick one up for you if they do a decent show price. You can collect or I can post it to you.

Oh. Bum. I ordered one the other day. Didn't think of seeing if anyone would do this.

Is it worth sending I back and waiting to see the show prices???
