Great walkaround tour, thanks for the shoutout and a pleasure to chat with you! Busy, busy day, and I hope you had a great show! Just a small point, but "they" didn't put anyone anywhere, the stand I shared with Stuart, Matt and Leo was organised by Stuart and myself, and hopefully we'll get a few more folks involved next year. 👍
Thanks for the comment Peter…my fault I just presumed I should have asked you when we chatted, and it was a great idea by the way 👍 Would be nice to Keith or Andy Mac there next year possibly? It’s great for us to have access to you guys to pick your brains :)
@@thegarageworkshop4791 No problem - just wanted to be clear that the stand is very much our own creation. Haven’t been able to get Andy there since 2019, and we keep working on Keith and Badger Matt - maybe next year! BTW I sent you an email to your RUclips address - let me know if it’s of interest OK? Thanks. Peter. 👍
Thanks for the walk around, very busy. I believe I said last year that it would be far to busy for me to put up with, so someone like you walking around is a bonus 🙂
I went a couple of years ago and by the looks of it, it's definitely got bigger. BTW, the care (like Stranger Things) are all owned by Nick Zametti, who is the organiser of `Makers Central. Cheers.
Great walk around content, a very busy place and a good turn out at Makers Central I hoped you had a good time there. I do watch other woodworkers on You tube like the one you mentioned, Stuart Proper DIY, Peter Parfit , Peter Millard, and I do like a bit of Colin Furze plus others. I also like Leo Hand-i-craft, Rob Weekend Shedhead, Mark Small workshop adventures, Mark Start making, Frank Williams, Brett Useless to useful, Reggy on the road, Dean Woodworking journey, Phill Wyatt, Matt Badger workshop ,Keith Brown, Dave Stanton and your good self. Great video from the NEC in Birmingham, I usually go there for the motor show but I haven't been there for about 7-8 years, catch you sone Take care
Was sure I saw you walking around and I indeed I did as you caught me at 6:48 (black Diesel jumper with glasses and beard 😊) I struggled with it a bit. Some parts I really enjoyed but it felt a bit like it didn’t know what it was trying to be and so ended up being not a woodworking thing, not a craft thing, not an anything really. Also thought they’d have been a few more tool stands, even Axminsters was very sparse with actual tools. Hoping the Harrogate show later this year is a little better
Hi Welshwoodco...Fab to see you! I know what you mean about not knowing what it's trying tp be. I think the split is more obvious this year, but I did like the more independent makers who were there this year. I agree with more companies having a stand. I did speak to Evolutioon about this but they didn't make it this year.
Nice video; you captured the feel of the show nicely. I went last year, and remember thinking that Lumberjack tools weren't particularly well finished. Are they the same Chinese made items as Clarke / Machine Mart stuff?
If you look up to the 3rd floor of the Genting Hotel, you can see me waving! 🤣 I was there for our combined Stag and Hen do. I knew it was Maker Central, but time constraints (and the fact i would need a van for all the tools i'd want to buy) meant we couldn't make it. Good video, that shows how big craft industry is growing. Thanks for sharing your experience.
1st time at makers central and I don't think I'll bother going again. Great to chat with Peter Millard. I'm not a Colin Furse fan so could skip all his stuff. Bought a few bits, but not interest to draw me back

Thanks Steve ...much appreciated!
Thank you for the mention :D
No problem...get in touch if you'd like to do a collaboration :)

Ah I see…that explains it!

Thanks Shaun!
Lol Shaun30, I think you mentioned all the English channels but mine. TBH, I follow most of those as well.
@@essentialhandyman Sorry Ian…not deliberate I promise…I do watch your channel and really enjoy it
@@thegarageworkshop4791 cheers.
I don't know what day you went, but my wife and I were there both days, Saturday was definitely the busiest.
I went on Saturday…and yeah it was…!
@@thegarageworkshop4791 I'm sorry I didn't get to see you.
I went last year but couldn’t make it this year so this was great to see. Thanks for the walk around and overview 👍
Thanks Chewbacca!

What's the Harrogate show?
Nice video; you captured the feel of the show nicely.
I went last year, and remember thinking that Lumberjack tools weren't particularly well finished. Are they the same Chinese made items as Clarke / Machine Mart stuff?
Hi...yes I think so...to be honest some tools look great, some don't. It's hit and miss :)

Hi Gordon...yeah I do get that....It's best to go once and see for yourself though
