Nearly upon us and no related thread yet.

Will the Vertical lathe be on show? It is always interesting to see magazine features in the flesh.

I also liked  seeing the shaper on the SME stand last year after years of examining pictures. It might be an idea in future to see if a few of the more portable lathes can be displayed to show people what some of the 'not new' stuff really looks like.

HI Bazyle, Pop over to SMEE and say hello, I will be there with the shaper again this year, nice to hear that it was a welcome sight, they are rarely seen out of the cave these days

By 'eck it's probably half a ton and it lives in New Zealand!

Mike Checkley's Vice will be there (its sitting next to me right now!)

Will that butchered Adept be making an appearance?

Also will you be ducking the bullets and giving a talk about MEW as you were going to do at the Midlands?

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Mayhap it will – although I'm so busy this week I haven't been able to finish the backgear.

Norden and the Fradley Canal Crane will be on loan with a few other items so folks can have a chuckle and come back down to earth after viewing the DoE display!

Not sure where people got the idea I would be doing a talk at the Leamington show (I'm sure someone else said they missed me there)? It's run by the publishers of the 'other' magazine, they might think I was being a bit forward!

My 'open forum' will be at 2:30 on Friday – it should be up on the monitors etc. Had hoped MEW would be out a bit early with the time in it, but the fonts went funny in some diagrams and the new proofing system resulted in the final changes being a bit slow to go through.
