Fire up your dropsaw, sharpen up your angle grinder and get ready for Australia's premier woodworking show, the Timber & Working With Wood Show . This is the expo you can't miss if you're a weekend hobbyist, a do-it-yourselfer, even a tradie who wants to see the latest and greatest of equipment - or brush up on old techniques.

I have to confess I'm a fan of woodworking. Back in a former life, I even had a shed fully stocked with tools and equipment that would have been the envy of many carpenters. Alas, these days I only get to wish I had the time - and the shed.

The Show features hundreds of woodworking products, suppliers and experts, and the latest operating machinery. You get to test state of the art tools and see the industry's best in action. You can learn more in a single day at the expo with the experts than you could in a whole year studying product literature and catalogues. Here are some of the experts:

Tim developed the "Come & Try Woodturning" program, with over 1000 participants across Australia.He's passionate about showing the 'next generation' of wood turners what a fantastic creative artform this is - for men and women of all ages.
