>Hi Derek,

Thanks for the notice. I didn't even know about the Costa Mesa show, which is right around the corner from my workplace. If I go (and I don't see any reason not to at this point in time), I'll be sure to check out the HNT Gordon booth.

Regards,

Mike

>Hi All,

Terry was in Melbourne last weekend for the Working With Wood Show. Colin Clenton was there too - with his whispy white beard and huge array of squares, marking gauges.

Terry's new spoke shave was on show and being demonstrated - I dunno, looks a little too beefy to my liking but then again HNT Gordon planes are not exactly what I'd call conventional looking - at least as far as western styled planes are concerned.

You guys in Cal - hope you take some time to stop and watch Terry demonstrate his planes - he is both a lovely guy and a pleasure to watch taking gossamer thin shavings with one of his planes.

Lucky sod indeed. I spent some time at Mr. Gordon's table last night; learning and drooling. His was about the only table that didn't leave me feeling that he was trying to sell me a product. Rather, he was demonstrating craft and craftsmanship. I ended up walking away with a 1" ebony shoulder plane and I'm going to visit him again today to test out the bench style planes. Remarkable tools from a genuine craftsman.

Mike
