Euro Wood Show - is it woorth going?

[Shay Vings]

I am only about 1 hr away and went last year and found it worthwhile. However, the exhibitor/demo/trade stand lists look a bit thinner this year.

Any views from your visit today?

I haven't heard of it, but have just googled it and it looks great, I will certainly pencil it in for next year and hopefully get B&B locally so the wife and I can go both days. I am interested also in people's opinion of what it was like.

I went this morning, it was good, but as with most shows these days there was not a lot there to keep me interested for long, I stayed about 1 1/2 hours.

To be fair another member of our club went and has just rung me after spending the full day there and said there wasnt enough time for him to do everything he wanted.

I went today... it was pretty much like other years, but I enjoy it none the less.

I like to watch the demo's and the new different tools available are always good to look at.

Just got back :shock: :shock:

Excellent, if quite a long day, great to meet up with old friends & a few new ones.

Some great demos, David Savage`s hammer veneering with hide glue was very interesting, as was watching the wood turners & carvers.
There was a demo of putting a steel band round a cart wheel amongst the varied & interesting things to watch, plus I finally got to meet up with Andy Coates.

I can highly recommend the St Peter`s brewery tent though they are quite a few party 8 cans down for tomorrow :lol:

A few photos of today, in no order or preference, just when I thought to get my phone out :roll:

Part of my haul for the day.

No doubt Paul Chapman & Jonny D have terrible photos of me :? but those are all the photos I remembered to take, sorry no photos in the turning barn as I was too busy talking :lol:

Cheers
