Well it has all been and gone and now I have enough material to write several blogs..
I have so much material, pics and vids that I have started a new series..
First off the whole trip was a comedy of errors but more of that later..
Here are a few shots taken at the show.
Walking down the ramp into the Silverdome itself…Taken on the Thurday afternoon during set up.
This venue is the home of the Tasmanian Institute of Sport and houses a velodrome and a highly polished timber floor for basketball and several other sports.
We had a position in one corner right next to the food concessions.. what we lost in accessibility we gained in passing traffic.
This was Friday with a predominance of students in attendance.
All three machines found new homes in Tasmania..
Unable to hang our large banner inside… another story… we manage to find a spot outside on the Carins Brothers Tent…
and this is what everyone saw as they left the carpark to enter the show…
Three photos taken from the main entrance … from left to right…
Down the middle.
While a relatively small show… only 45 exhibitors… the quality was outstanding…
Unfortunately I have been unwell since returning from down south and am only know getting on with reporting the trip… please return often to see what went on in the first show in Tasmania for quite a while…Much more to follow.

These pictures are beautiful, Larry. I sure do wish that they allowed people to take pictures at the woodworking show in Atlanta because I would have a field day if they did.

Nice show Larry. I wish I could get a samping of the wood they had there. I saw so much nice wood when we were in New Zealand and Australia and could not bring any home.
