Driving in to Dooen and driving out of Dooen happen pretty well at the same time if you are travelling faster than 30kph.:D
This will be the 3rd GTG at Dave's Dooen abode, and everyone seemed to find it without any trouble, even if you do get to the pub, which seems to be the only business in town. The town's population will probably double during the GTG.
It will be great to meet up with Benny and Doug2 and any other first timers, it is a very relaxed and enjoyable day.

Dolls furniture?

If anyone has some ideas there will be a 10yr old girl here on the Friday who might like to make some dolls furniture. Any takers?

Lydia makes movies with Littlest Pet shop toys. So the furniture would be as props for those. Not sure the size of these toys. Once more I'll do some research unless someone beats me to it

Chasing another thread chasing demo from one of my turning club members

Also a production turner showing how to do repeat work. Likely coffee table legs.

There is bound to be some pen turning.

Do you want to bring your router table again?

We may have some group build or scrap heap challenge etc.

If there's going to be the scrap heap challenge I will probably bring my Arbortec tools along again. I have done a few jobs with them since last time. :2tsup:

Hi Neil,

I'm still looking for that elusive nice piece of olive for a mortar and pestle. Something around 200mm diameter and at least 150 thick would be wonderful for the mortar, I would probably want something a bit bigger than 50x50x150 for the pestle though, if you finish up with a suitable piece, otherwise I can make do with 75x75 and I can cut a couple of pen blanks off of it as well (oops - did I say that out loud :oo:)

Cheers

Sorry to have to pull out due an unexpected death in the family. As the coroner is involved, the funeral is likely to be late next week.
Hope you all have an enjoyable few days.
