S & B known to me for any years. Anyone remember Dave Bates Friday evening demos? A lovely family, top quality supplies and visits to Upper Farm always enjoyable - especially conversations with Dave B. about woodturning which invariably turned to politics! if this is retirement I wish David and Janet a long and happy one. I will give the new owners a try but they will have to be exceptional to even match the S & B I have had the pleasure of knowing since I began turning.Sad new, I had only just found them as well.
