West Dean Hand Tool Event


Hi Folks
Only a week or so to go until the West Dean "Hand Tool Event". This will be the second year of this show, and I'm real excited about it. Last years event, being the first one, was very enjoyable (and attracted some stars - Brian Boggs and Garrett Hack!) and was quite a success. It was also unique in that it was only hand tools - no power tools in sight. All the attendees were hand tool nuts, and there was a real buzz in the air.
Word has gotten around about that show and I have no doubt that this years event will be twice as big. I'm feverishly working away to have new items to show off - so do make sure you call by my bench and say "Hi!".
Cheers
Philly

My silly mistake - I thought Phillyplanes replaced philsvill.co

Thanks,

Mike

No problem, Mike. I keep the Philsville.co.uk site as my hobby site and the Phillyplanes.co.uk site is my "day job" site :)
Cheers
