Wood or cake?

Pete

 

[bourbon]

Both please! Our group is doing a re-enactment on the Sunday, Saturday is set up day so we might not make it, but we will try

Mike asked on their facebook page, what people would be looking for, so he can bring stuff you all require

 

[Glynne]

I should be there (with herself) - I might even get some cake this time (Alexam take note!).
I’ll drop Mick a note with my wish list.

 

[bourbon]

I'm not going to make it :-( not only is it set up day for us, I have to work till 11

So who went? What did you all buy?

 

[Glynne]

I went, but not sure what happened to the miserable old gits who where taking the p**** after last time? To save you looking up old posts, I was the one who missed out last time on the cake.
I arrived early but no sign of Alexam, Pete Maddex or Newbie Neil - but my good Lady bought me some really nice lemon drizzle cake & a coffee. She even encouraged me to buy wood (I think the expression is “pushing against an open door”)
Some really good timber. A lot of it quite thick I.e. >25mm which wasn’t for me but I did come away with some lovely brown oak and some fantastically figured beech. Amazing prices given what it would cost at a timber yard. Oak, ash, beech, yew, sycamore, alder and lots of turning blanks. Mick is happy to try and satisfy specific demands if you notify him on advance, details on the Facebook page.
Certainly worth a visit if you’re anywhere near.

I thought it was on Sunday!

But from where.........and did they sell cake?

 

[Racers]

It’s from an old chap in Newark, he was a woodwork teacher in the army teaching the children of the soldiers in the Far East.
He is selling up the wood he got there in the 60s as he has health problems, I bought some from him in the past and he gave me a ring as he wanted it to go to someone who would use it.
