G'day David, I grew up out at Stevens Weir where my Dad was weir keeper for a long time
before retiring to a little block at the 6 mile then into Charlotte street. How's that for useless info.:B

G'day David, look forward to meeting you. Nice to have a local.

Hi , look forward to meeting you. Cheers, David

I'm thinking of just taking my swag for the sleeping part and making Neds armour in wood with axe and hatchet for something to do, you reckon that would be ok Dave. Probably need to be able to organise some suitable red gum or other eucalypt to use up there to do it and someone to shoot some holes in it, you reckon that could happen?

I'm thinking of just making the armour, to scale and thought a log with a wide pipe running through it would take the work out of shaping the parts a bit with limited time. If I can get the time I'll make up some templates to follow. Maybe shooting it was a bit far fetched so I'm thinking drilling the holes and burning them out with a hot poker or something or other. The armour parts could be fixed together with fencing wire and rusty bolts. I'm also thinking that an angle grinder with a couple of shaping attachments would be a better way to shape the parts but that relies on power which I'm not sure will be available. Anyway, it could be a good thing to have a go at and be even better if it included the involvement of others.

there will be power available.

I would love to see some collaborative work such as this. Where possible I would like people to bring tools with the goal of doing some woodwork. There may be some tools available to share etc.

Another thing I'm thinking of doing is getting some big poles that can be carved.

There is a replica model of the suit of armour here in Jerilderie so you can probably use that as a refference, we can take as many pics as you like and take measurements.

This may not quite be on par with the T&WWW shows but should be enjoyable non the less your more than welcome to attend.

Years ago someone decided to start a ute muster, the Deni ute muster has moved from strength to strength.

the Jerilderie Jaunt could do just the same, Ive posted here but Neil has not commented on it yet, Ive contacted but his inbox may have been full and ive PM'ed Jim.

The success of the ute muster came down to not the organisation though it and advertising played a part. Success came down to those that attended

Success of the T&WWW shows comes down largely to the support of the public - us

As Neil said earlier, if he is hardly covering costs of accommodation and food one must question whether the effort is worth it.

Neil

If there were a swap meet section - big area, where people could not only buy and trade but bring their tools, work demonstrate as well you may find people rushing to you and jim and other store holders to buy equipment I know insurance issues can become an issue to but there are ways around that

Hey Dave, I think you have a top Idea there mate, & I hope it goes well for you & every body that can attent, but I dont think I will be able to make it. Ill keep an open mind at this stage though & see what shapes up.


Steve

OK Steve, see what happens, if you want to know anymore just let me know

For those interested in Wood Carving, There are 2 woodcarvers I have been in touch with outside of this forum who have said they will attend.

Both are quality carvers and willing to demonstrate and share their knowledge.

Our first female has committed. Come on girls, we need some more.

How long is this running for again Dave?

Just trying to get it set in my head, don't really want to replicate the armour thing exactly, the copying thing has been done, and donner how many times before, would rather produce something in the spirit of Ned, it's hard to steer away from the armour though, thinking the breast plate should have breasts, just throwing a few thoughts out ok.

Put me down as a maybe, might even be tempted to bring one of the sawmills with me if there is timber around to be milled but then again it'll most likely be to hot for milling :think:

I can feel a VIC bus comin on :U

Put me down as a definite maybe. :cool: Will bring a lathe and associated things.

If 2014 dont work we'll just have to wait till 2015, I hope to make this an annual thing. Spread the word in Perth

I'm gonna try and get on to Telstra and see if they will sponsor an internet link so we can have skype and chat to people all over Australia and the world for those who cant come

are there any chainsaw carvers on the forum?

Update on demonstrations


woodcarvers - 2 plus springwater
wood turning - there will be some from my club and possibly some other more well known turners
Flat work - at least 1


I have limited experience in woodturning and have trade experience as a carpenter and joiner - I am more than happy t share my experience and answer questions to the best of my ability


I will be bringing my custom Torque Work Centre Torque Work Centres | | Torque Work Centres at about 4 m long, if anyone wants to have a go bring some tools to attach or see what is available at the time


Bring some projects and if you want help or just to share what you are doing

Wouldn't mind seeing a Blacksmith having a wack at this.

This could be interesting idea, could take that to the event committee for the Letter Event

I see interest is growing Dave its names on the list thats not. http://www.woodturnersunlimited.com/...con_e_wink.gif

Yes yes mines not there either I know nor will it be even as a maybe, I'll sight family reasons which is true grandsons birthday.

But truth is I fear for my life http://www.woodturnersunlimited.com/.../icon_razz.gif down there in amongst the Kelly descendants and supporters . You see when I went to school and all history I have read regarding constabulary who were in pursuit of Kelly and his gang one surname kept cropping up.............. Sanderson http://www.woodturnersunlimited.com/...lies/music.gif Now of late this seems to have vanished off the records Ned Kelly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia StiLl I'll ere on the side of caution even though no descendant of mine as far as I know was involved these Irishmen just never seem to forget a name. Considering I and my family were 13,000 miles away they seem to think thats close enough.

Dave I hope all goes well and its a hit I'd let these fellows know that there is possibility they could be on TV http://www.woodturnersunlimited.com/...ilies/wave.gif

yes thats right there could be coverage by WinTV

Jerilderie Letter Event has been held over till Easter 2015 - what that means for us???

there are a few options

Keep things as it is for Feb 7,8 & 9
Postpone or cancell
Bring it forward into the holidays

I dont want to cancel, I believe only one has booked accommodation and I will check with them their flexibility. Im good friends with Sue from the B&B where he is staying and am sure we can organise a switch of time if that suits others better.

So please - a little feed back if anyone has any preference or if you are flexible. If I dont hear back I will start to message everyone individually to see what suits the majority.

I was thinking you might like a week earlier, Thx for feedback, hopefully more will respond soon

I am open to the date.

Thanks Chris,

Open to suggestions, kinda split on it. I have the event on 2 other forums but this is my focus forum. Part of me says keep it as is and part says put it out there for feedback.

Im disappointed the other event was postponed cause it could of helped make it a bit more of a family thing

Surely the Ned Kelly anniversary is a drawcard?

That's what I thought it would be, just won't be any other events going on simultaneously. The Ned Kelly thing has been postponed and won't even be held on the date as it sits presently. Either way, us woodies can have a good time.

Well has anyone bothered to ask Ned's newly placed remains what they think of this?

Well I was at the meeting when it was decided. The question was asked,"should we ask Ned how he feels about the date being changed?"

Someone pointed to a poster of Ned on the wall and there it was, his famous quote - "such is life"

If we were to come Easter would be out for no other reason than its Easter.......family and traffic the reasons.

I agree with FF The Letter is the attraction as well as woodwork.

hi Dave!

I am happy with any date that is set :U
Being my very first woodworkers get-together, I am so excited I can't wait to come, meet you and everyone, share ideas and learn alot.

Accommodation-wise, I was just gonna rough it camping out near water somewhere.

Whichever date that is set, I will make time to come!:2tsup:

Priscilla

here is a pic of the area

two most likely locations at this time is the race course or mini rail

Attachment 275050

Take care all

I'm sorry I won't be able to make it up there now Dave, things have changed and I'll be too far away at the time. Hope it all goes well.
