Any photos? In particular, any of the wood carving.

 

I've got (quite) a few !  Quality is a bit dodgy tho - all my usual excuses apply !

The dragon he did in Bethesda is amazing

I didn’t take any pictures of the toys apart from the below - personal fave was the Cat MH3026 Material Handler with a westech extension boom & saw (don’t suppose anyone got a picture of the setup?)

This was pretty cool also.

Sorry to have missed you yesterday, but myself  everyone around me could not ring anybody, everyone's phone kept coming back with number not available.  Never seen this problem before anyone know the cause?

On the plus side I did not see one beer belly, but many fit people of both sexes! Lovely weather and friendly conversations everywhere.

So much similar machinery that it must be hard for the manufacturers to make a profit.  Grabs around every corner!

The £15 I paid for two coffees and two small carrot cakes just makes me want to charge £300 for a box of logs to keep up with inflation!

Not your fault not sure what was going on with phones.  I really appreciate you getting me the ticket.

 

Maybe too many people for a usually very quiet area that the local masts could not cope.  It was a nice day though, and I also had some good chats about woody subjects.

 

 For anyone who is thinking of getting into milling it would have been great - all the main players were there (except Lucas and Peterson swing mills) and they mainly all had several mills set up to demo.  I think Woodmizer for instance had at least four of their mills set up.  I did wonder how much this beast from Meber cost.

Had a great day there today, loads to see, couple of free beers and a pork bap😅👍👍 

Bought a couple of hand tools, nothing exciting, and spent a lot of time looking at the smallest Sany digger and a really smart MB Trac👍👍👍
