Final day of the show, and for me the final show for a while (at least until October). There were no where near as many people at the Tradesman’s Show than at a wood show, but by the sound of it, the small crowd makes up for it in amount they spend. About 5500 people [...]

Simply ran out of time today to write the comprehensive post I was planning. Got the stand set up, ready for the start of the NTX tomorrow. Writing this from the iPhone so can’t control the layout well. So some pics of the Stu’s Shed / TWC stand.

Big day of preparation for various upcoming events. The obvious one of course is this weekend, with the National Tradesman’s Expo at the Showgrounds (Melbourne) where there is a Stu’s Shed stand 9m x 3m that has to look the part.
