Westonbirt Festival of the Tree - next weekend!

[AndyT]

I just thought it might be worth posting a reminder in case anyone's forgotten - the rather fine Festival of the Tree will be happening again next weekend, Friday through to Monday.

Event details are on the Forestry Commission site here:

but for most of us I expect the main draw will be the masterclasses put on by Classic Hand Tools, which include someone called Phil Edwards talking about Wooden Planes!

You'll need to be there on Friday for that, which is also the best time to get there for the widest selection of interesting timber and second-hand tools, if previous years are anything to go by.

CHT also seem to be offering "special deals" - which could save you the £10 admission charge.

I'll be there - who else is going along?

 

[Paul Chapman]

I'll be there. Not sure which day yet.

Cheers :wink:

I will be exhibiting and demonstrating making fan birds. When I get some free time you will see me hunting tools, not just in the classic hand tool tent, but also at some of the fine and interesting second hand tool stalls.

The weather forecast is getting better - BBC forecast for Tetbury is "sunny intervals" for the weekend.

If anyone wants to see someone making a fool of themselves, come to the Gloucestershire Association of Woodturners tent on Friday morning where I may be demonstrating. All things being equal.
