UPDATE POST SYDNEY WORKING WITH WOOD SHOW 2008
Pat & I have said it before, but this time we mean it!
This was the last WWW show for us, we just can't cope with the hassles.
So,,,,,we are still collecting (what little is on offer out here in the "bush") but we will no longer have
the privilege of selling our unwanted tools at the TTTG exhibition stand. We could & will take
advantage of our President's meeting night auctions but we don't want to monopolise this venue. So
please contact us directly and see if we have what you want.
Current stock includes several good Carter planes
