Yesterday (Saturday) I went to the Wood Show. Great fun. I went with the intention of not buying anything and I didn't apart from 8 carving chisels, a saw file and saw. So that was good.
I have been going for many years and my impression was that there was more exhibitors and more people than last year.
Roaming around aimlessly for a few hours talking to people, watching displays and demonstrations, and looking at tools and timber is always fun. But yesterday was even better for 2 reasons. There was a chap there who makes guitars out of old tins and odd bits of scrap. He was talking and singing and playing which was great by itself. But he organised and impromptu little concert with and man from another stall. They wanted somebody to bang a few music sticks together for a bit of rhythm. Since nobody else in the crowd seemed to want to do it and since neither experience or ability was required, I found myself banging away randomly with two proper musicians. Great fun.
Then I did an hour on the Wood Forum stall. If you have never done a stint on the stall you should. Great fun. You will meet good people, have a chat and cup of coffee. If you are a bit tired from aimless wandering there are chairs.
Anyway I went home a happy little boy.
