Any one going to this event?

Best wishes,

There's a thread in General Woodworking, but interest seems oddly muted. It's beyond my understanding; I tried moving heaven and earth in an effort to get to it, and can't. (And I'd like to reiterate that if anyone's going with a camera, please don't fear you'll take too many pictures...)

Anyway, Mr C, I have to ask; what's an IBC conversion? I'm thinking rugby and two points, but I imagine that's not it.

If it's anything like the Rycotewood event last year, it'll be well worth going to. Alas, it's too close for comfort to the Yandles show in early April, which for me is a better event. Besides, I have an orchid event to go to on Sat at our local garden centre, so woody stuff is going onto the back burner this weekend - Rob

I have to ask; what's an IBC conversion?

Is that what Rob Cosman has been peddling? http://www.robcosman.com/tools_blade_chipbreaker.php there was a youtube video, but it's disappeared.

It's a shame that there is nothing of note up North show-wise, I'd love to do Axminster, Yandles and Ally Pally but without a big write up and loads of pictures!!! it would be hard for me to judge whether or not it is worth a big round trip. :-({|=

 

[Alf]

Ah, thank you, Scouse; had a feeling it was something like that but failed to make the leap from one Mr C to another. And what was that you said? Big write up and loads of pictures?

The RC IBC conversion sounds interesting if you use Stanley bevel down planes...not much good though as a BU user! - Rob

[Harbo]

I thought is was Irritable Bowel something or other??
Are those the irons that they intimated Veritas used?

Like Rob, saving myself (and the pension) for Yandles!

Spare batteries? Got plenty of room on the card? Just, um, y'know, checking... 8-[

 

[Philly]

I'll be there both days - make sure you stop for a chat!
And I'll try and get some shots, Al,

[Shane]

I may be there, but I'm moving into a bigger workshop imminently, so if I get access in the next few days I may be a bit too busy supervising a tame forklift driver 8)

Alf,

Yes it is the extra thick blade and chipbreaker set which goes straight into Stanley & Record etc.

Blade 3.6mm thick and C/B 3mm thick. This works because of tabs attached to C/B slot. (Not a new idea).

Some throat filing likely.

A2 blade, slightly hardened C/B all very nicely finished and easy to prepare. Not cheap.

Rob C is involved in the production and promotion. I got roped in on the promotion.

Anyway, I see these as being of great interest to those who do not wish to get involved in yoke lengthening, but want a really thick blade.

Best wishes,
David

Blimey, Rob, I can't afford one of those :shock: It will just be my usual point-and-shoot.
