Bugger! Adze heads, I knew there was something that was on my list to make for the Gathering (mind you I planned to for the Moot but failed then too). I did manage to make up half a dozen little folders, including a couple in damascus

**robevs73** · 15-08-2012, 20:51

Yes, you must go.

**TinkyPete** · 15-08-2012, 21:57

I should be there on Saturday, so Johnboy if you need a hand not spending money I can help. You can save it for the North Wood meet instead

**Dave Budd** · 16-08-2012, 07:26

I've got a few a sporks (was planning more than a few, but didn't get around to it. Still I can make more there

). Also have a very special one in Damascus

**bilmo-p5** · 16-08-2012, 08:22

**Dave Budd** · 16-08-2012, 10:10

**SiWhite** · 17-08-2012, 21:30

Splendid day today - if anyone is umm-ing and arr-ing about going then I would say do - well worth it to float around and chat to nice folk. Some lovely bits for sale - I was SO tempted by the damascus spork - and useful to pick up a few nick nacks... Weather's better tomorrow as well!

**polecat paul** · 18-08-2012, 07:52

I will let the stories come out in time, but Chris may have to explain his friday night antics to either the moderators or the police.

Made it there on Friday morning and had a great time wandering around, watched the latter stages of the deer gralloching, picked up a brilliant Austrian Army folding shovel for the jeep from Endicotts for seven quid (!), and a lovely wee spoon knife from Ben Orford. Had a good chat with Rob Evans and handled some of his knives, very impressed and will be putting an order in Rob once I am back in funds again at some stage !

Well worth a visit and glad I made the trip.

Cheers, Paul

**TinkyPete** · 19-08-2012, 19:02

Chris all I will say is that is has something to do with what you were wearing on friday night next to Dace's forge

from what I was informed by persons who were there

and also after your little whirl in the red dress coat I can believe them

**Marmite** · 19-08-2012, 19:49

A great couple of days!
Went with the wife and kids on fri, and have to say my daughter loved playing on the pole lathe, defiantly her highlight of the day - big thanks to Ben and Lois.
Got to sneek back Saturday on my own for the demos and some chilling time. Really nice to put faces to the names and posts on the forum and I couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome from everyone. Great bunch of guys, lady and little one.
I must say you did cut a fine figure in the period red woollen smock/dress Chris

Thanks to Angst and Dave Budd for the tips on leatherwork and sharpening, and to Rob for introducing me to a new shiney (look forward to using later this week).

**Angst** · 20-08-2012, 00:46

Well the Endicott Gimp turned up in a flash of smoke late Friday night at Dave Budds all night Iron BAR ( Pull up n anvil Get Hot ... Get Hammered at Dave's Iron Bar)
adorned in his usual Army Skrim Mankini

he sat in his Throne for a short time then disappeared off into the night mumbling something about Hunting down a Brace of lesser spotted Snow shoes That was the only known appearance this year maybe more next year

I only got a photo in the few seconds he was still before going of on his hunt

**robevs73** · 20-08-2012, 12:07

We had a good weekend and put faces to names which is alway good, great to meet you gents.
Special thanks to Duncan for just being a good bloke and sorting me out with stuff !
I think there was less people there than previous years thoe, could have done with filling the barn with a few more tables.
Next year we will have more time to organize and should have a better looking stall!

**Angst** · 20-08-2012, 15:11
