2008 Adelaide shed meet

Hi everyone,

The week is nearly over but the rain is not so, I reckon, is going to get wet on the weekend, in this neck of the woods, for sure...!:((.
This is a good weather to sell timbers by the kg but, they don't burn that well, not that I'm concerned, as none of my selected timbers are for "firewood":no:, I shell try not to allow the "moisture" content levels, of the timbers I will transport in the trailer, to increase dramatically, there is, getting too bloody wet...!:o

I hope you have a "big" veranda Frank...! do you have a boat handy? or we all just hang-on the the lumps of wood to float?:U:wink:

Cheers:2tsup:
RBTCO

No worries RBTCO, here does not rain as much as at your place, and mostly at night. On the other hand, Murphy rules ok, tomorrow it might bucket down. Anyway, we'll be less than 20 people and the veranda is 50m2, we'll' have more room per person than in a Tokio apartment...:D

See you all there!

To all those who attended the shed meet, I would like to apolgise for my "no show" I had major drain problems spent all day helping plumber jackhammer the drive way. all is now fixed just waiting for the bill. Hope the day went well

It's on tomorrow! :D

I would like to thank you again Frank for doing the shed meet. A great day and HI to all that attended.
Also thanks to robutacion(george) and harry72 for the timber
Thanks to all for a good day
Regards Michael

Thanks everyone for the company, 'twas a very pleasant afternoon, and my compliments to Frank and his wife for a great lunch. :2tsup:

Very generous of Harry and George to provide freebies of the timber, thanks again - I can see some bowls and goblets coming out of the shed in the near future! :2tsup:

Oops,sorry Harry 72,thanks for your kind donations.............AL

I'd like to add my thanks to Frank for organising the event and for getting me in trouble by feeding me so well that I couldn't eat dinner.:D

Thanks also go to Harry72 and robutacion for the timber thay braught.:2tsup:

It was a great day and I'm glad I finally got to one of these meets.

Himzo,

Just couldnt help myself.

One of Harry's pieces of wattle (cant remember the name) revealing it's inner goblet.
Had to stop for a while, my fingers were going numb from the cold.

Don't mention it, guys, it was a pleasure. Pity the weather was not the best we could hope and a few could not make it, but I certainly had a good time, thank you all for coming. And thanks to RBTCO and Harry72 for the timber, now I have a good excuse for suggesting a larger shed is needed...:)

Bugger!!!!!

I'll let the photo's do the talkin!

Was a good afternoon, Thanks to Frank and his SWMBO for the hospitality, thanks to RBTCO for making the wood available(the number draw was good entertainment!)

Oh guys I may have got some silky oak mixed in with the Broughton Willow, so you may get a surprise under that blue paint... its still nice turning wood tho!
