European Woodworking Show

Hi Folks
This weekend it's time for the European Woodworking Show, without doubt the best woodworking event in the UK (and Europe!). I'll be there showing my wares as well as demonstrating Lie-Nielsen tools so do make sure you pop by the bench and say "hi!".
The show is held in a wonderful setting at Cressing Temple, Braintree, Essex - there are two massive timber frame barns and beautiful surroundings. This is the third year of this show and there are some the best craftsmen and demonstrators from around the world attending - don't miss it!
Cheers
Philly

Happy Anniversary!


Hi Folks
This month marks an important date for me - it is five years since I launched Philly Planes! It has been an exciting journey so far (especially in this finacially troubled world) but I'm pleased to say that we are busier than we've ever been! So I just wanted to thank all my customers past and present for their support and business over these past five years - I couldn't have done it without you!

This weekend I will be at the Yandles Woodworking Show near Yeovil - I'll be bringing along a new Toted Smoother for customers to try out. I really like this plane and I look forward to hearing peoples responses to it after they've had a go. So if you are attending do pop by and say "Hi" - I'll be on the Classic Hand Tools stand.


Finally, a couple of pictures of smoothers that have left the shop recently. One in Box (with some amazing figure!) and one in Blackwood.

Cheers
Philly
