Looking forward to catching up Paul, drive safe.
cheers, crowie
Spose I'd better buy a bit of wood - especially if it's for the fireys
Perfect weather today.
Have a good day gents.
To much doing here to attend :roll:
May be next time. ;)Quote:

Some of those blanks may do the trick

I could have returned the favour of wood blanks.
Great day. Worth the 1200 km round trip. I did not take any picks but hopefully others did

THANK YOU BRETT & LOLA FOR ANOTHER TOP GATHERING....
Your hospitality was, again, superb especially the dessert and the chocolates...
I enjoyed the day this time being able to sit a talk/get to know a few of the forum blokes as well as catch up with some old mates...
The shop bought lunch was good and thank you Brett & Lola for the rice....
Special mention to the "sparky" on the spot who got the electrics back working again...
We needed the light to see Brett's new shed floor but this time some of us actually saw "sawdust" on it; BUT it was quickly swept away...
This time, there was a good number of ladies [good lookin Sheila's as Lola & I discussed...lol]...
The buy & sell table seemed to be a good trade; as did Paul's {bushmillers] pen blanks, with those processes going to the RFS.
I hope enjoy one got home safely after such an enjoyable day; Total Fire Ban included..
Cheers, crowie
PS - There was even "honey" for sale thanks to, I think, Chris....
PSS - To Skew, I hope your good lady is better...We missed her....
PSSS - Sorry I didn't do a head count, but at times there seemed to be a whole heap of people standing & sitting all enjoying a good chat...
Peter thanks for sharing those with us, good to see some familiar faces and those far away people who seem to just keep coming back.........glutens for punishment I guess.
My day was productive with some sidetracking required but all on track.:roll:
Thanks for the pics crowie, good stuff.
I think Tony may have left his chair here......and the left over magazines.
Thanks to all for coming along, it's what makes the day a success, particularly the very-long-distance people (DaveTTC and Bushmiller - great to meet Paul's wife Leanne as well).
Good to see some new faces as well: turnerted, rwbuild, groeneaj (although Andy's face is well familiar from other meetings).
I hope you guys had a great time at Brett place. What else did you guys forget to take home? :U
It wouldn't be the same would it Christos? I must say there does seem to be a pattern emerging - who was it that left the Saw Vise at the first one?Quote:

Great host and hostess and good to meet people in person. Will get to next one and chat with those I didnt get a chance to today.
Me thinks fence furniture has just as much fun creating his man cave as any produced in it. I picked up some great ideas.
Your artistic flare to take mundane material/items and turn it into a character filled aesthetically pleasing workshop is to be admired
but to be so neat and tidy is a bit of a worry :rolleyes:
Thanks everyone for a great day
Cheers Ray, and you're very welcome. You're quite right, I did have a lot of fun with the original "build" :DQuote:

Did anyone get a pic of that dust? I do have a couple of dozen witnesses, but I have some reservations about how forthcoming they might be with the truth.....
I was gonna say .... No pic - it didn't happen.Quote:

Another 175 km and I should be spooning my wife. Any sooner and it's the wrong woman

Home now. Had a great time.
Met a few new people. Was chewing the cud non stop and there were plenty I did I not get to spend the time with I would have liked to,others I only met when they left & and a few I did not even get to say g'day to at all.
2 days would have been great
Came home with some auger bits, pen blanks, bit of reading and some other odds and ends. I'll have to talk to Bret about bringing the wife and kids next time ???

For whoever picked my Aldi sander - I have finally found the other two pads (round and Delta), and also the paper piercer. They were in the box with the router bits and pieces - where else? :doh:
NZ_carver, I seem to remember it was you, and I have also located the Tormek DVD ('cepting I can find where i put it again :D)
