THANKS HEAPS - Raechell and Dave for a fantastic weekend. Really appreciate the work you guys have done putting this together and the hospitality you showed to everyone:2tsup:
Keith and Cathie
I'm sure Sally and I will be there ,kicking the dust ,chewing the fat.
Even if it clashes with the Melbourne GTG end of the month [emoji45]
But please don't invite the flys , I know that's not politically correct.
And you may call me a flyest I don't care.
[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
So you'll be expecting Dirk and Matt on Wednesday for the initial clean up again??
I'll put my hand up for attending, can work with any dates (you're first in with an offer.....and there isn't a better one yet)
Better work on my carving skills so I don't have to leave Pete high and dry again....
Cheers
Gab
Well if Gab is going to be carving .
I better get another saw handle hacked out for his carving skills then .to pass on to someone
And I think I will bring my own broom on Wednesday clean up day [emoji57]
problem is, now you have me looking into making a couple of handsaws for the shed myself..... sure I COULD just buy some, but it'll cost 3 times as much and take 3 years if I do them myself..... PERFECT!!Quote:

It's all down hill from here sorry Gab,
Have a look if you haven't all ready found them on the web
Two lawyers saws
you want me to get into SOOOO much trouble with the lovely other half don't you.... ok, I have bookmarked it, for when I win lotto
Next get together I want to have 6 prepared demos.
2 each day. One morning one night
What would we like to see
Dave
The Turning Cowboy
A few ideas...
don't know how practical they would be, but maybe a router table setup and some box making demos?...maybe something different from the gifkins jig (as most of us have seen that at the shows)....
Possibly thread chasing on a lathe (maybe that's just me wanting to learn)
Some other finishing techniques, I haven't ever seen ncl bring used but many swear by it.... how to use burnishing oil properly,
Maybe a demo from some of the toy boys (that sounds bad) about how they go about either the design or from an idea into production.
I know there is a dedicated day happening in Sydney soon, nut sharpening techniques
I'll keep thinking. ..
Some great ideas Gab

Should be able to get some demos on piecing at many shops in town, or ask the young ones.:roflmao2:Quote:

I think 2 planned demos a day would be a good balance, leaving plenty of time for spontaneous interaction and sharing as well. Good idea Dave, and great to see all the other suggestions for demos/workshops.
Looking forward to next year already.:2tsup:
