Wow! Where does the time go too? Sadly we had to cancel the craft
fair in July, this due to the drain gurgling up water onto the floor, this would
have been too dangerous for our clients, so appologies all around. We have
accepted an invite to display and demonstrate at the Scottish Mobility Roadshow
17th & 18th September (see main page) so I am looking forward to seeing all our
regulars at the show. We were invited to display at the Scottich
Woodworking show but due to prior commitments (I am flying away) we had to
decline but as you see we are supporting it in every way we can.

Friday 21st May 2010 we attended the Spinal Injuries Scotland awards lunch, the
scoff was fantastic and a great bunch of folk attended. We were honoured
to have made the awards for the third year running and they were well received. 
I am over the moon that we
have been asked to make the awards for 2011 and I already have my thinking cap
on, although it has to be said that my head is empty of ideas (nothing new there
then). The workshop has been busy and we have had a few new members, which
is great. |

August Craft Fair went without a hitch and we had a great day, with good sales
and good attendance. .

JIMMY CLEWES DVD SET TURN IT ON
|
It Has
taken me a while but I have finally finished watching all of
"Turn it On" DVD's by Jimmy Clewes.
Cost: separately
£19.95 plus postage – or £49.95 plus postage for a box set
of all three (2008)
Summary
I have watched Jimmy at the Scottish
woodworking show and at a venue in Scotland, I like
his very matter of fact approach and his no nonsense outlook.
I find with Jimmy Clewes what you get is what you
see and because of his skill there is no pretence. The
DVD's are superbly shot with good camera angle and
good clarity. Jimmy gives a great commentary and his descriptions
are spot on. The subject matter in each DVD is
well covered and the extra features are informative and
useful.
Value For Money
These DVDS as a training aid or a
reference are worth every penny.
Turn it on Volume One
Apart from the main features, the
extra bit on sharpening is great, the fact that
Jimmy sees the value in using a jig for repeatability is refreshing, a lot of
professionals still stick to this "Freehand is the
only way" approach, that may have been fine when you were making
hundreds of one item but as amateurs we make just
the one then make something different, the same is true for
modern professionals like Jimmy Clewes.
