Anything you like. Im low on pen kits if anyone ones to make themselves one and Im not sure how im going for scroll saw blades if you happen to have any. I think i can use either oinless or with pins.
Of course you will be fixed up for anything that is used

I can bring some pen gear up (just set the pen nay sayers up at the other end of the shed)
Sally would love a couple of pens made for her.
I'm either to busy or too lazy or something
She said she has the readies , ready.
Cheers Matt
Maybe she could turn one up on the weekend?Quote:

Listing to me dribble on !!
Readies is folding stuff momla or $$$$ or cents
But one thing you maybe able to demonstrate to me or any one else
Is that super glue finish.
I would love to see how that is done ?
Do your fingers get all sticky and stuck together[emoji849]?
Cheers Matt
Ah, that's something I am able to bring to the table then.....
I'll turn up a few, and bring them down for a ca finish!!
I wear latex gloves so no sticky fingers, but the dog always looks at me weird when I pull them on and let out an evil chuckle...
Red timber.... Got it!
You are a sick sick man
I knew I liked you for some reason.
I hope you guys take lots of pictures and some videos too, for those who would like to but can't attend this time.
Uncle Al

Is there any interest from anyone attending if I bring a grinder with a CBN wheel on it as well a Worksharp 3000? Those wanting to try them could bring tools to sharpen. The grinder does not have any jigs to sharpen lathe tools only flat blades.
Yes interested. Replied to your emails this morning. Hope they went thru ok
Dave TTC

If someone were able to bring a drum sander for Saturday I know one attendee who would be stoked
Dave TTC

Whoooooo getting close now,
It will be nice playing with some wood again it's been awhile.
And playing with other woody kids
Heading off in the morning, car has all sorts of bits and pieces packed ready for a fun weekend. Items include a few bowl blanks, a set of thread chasers in case there is an experienced thread chaser on hand, some pine for demonstrating the Gifkins jig, the Gifkins jig for said demonstrations, a few turning tools for just in case, an urn, a chair, safety glasses and ear muffs, some router bits for the Incra jig for Simplicity to play with, plus the usual essentials for a bit of a holiday at Dooen and surrounds.
Unfortunately, there will be no SWMBO (Ann), as she has some appointments that clash with the time away, hence bringing just the one chair.
I will be interested in seeing Chris Parkes' sharpening set-up with the CBN wheel, particularly the tool rest system that he uses.
If anyone wishes to bring a portable hard disk or a decent sized USB memory stick, I am happy to share some files I have on a hard disk related to timber of one sort or the other if time and enthusiasm permits.
Hopefully Dave TTC has mowed the lawns and polished the silverware ready for his guests.
See Ya's all at Dooen.
Alan...
Looking forward to seeing you here. Lawn is essentially taken care of. A little trim here and there to be done yet
Sadly rwbuild want be here this time either as other commitments have come up
Dave TTC

I will be bringing an 'antique' cast iron F clamp for sale - Best 0ffer above 1 bottle of single malt scotch acceptable:D
Bob
A couple of images of the F clamp - Haven't attempted to clean it as I didn't want to risk damage and reducing its value:D:D
I beleive te correct description should be "Elhabe Cam Type Clamp"
Attachment 404768Attachment 404767
Bob

Dave TTC

It looks as though this clamp may be a very rare piece. A search of the internet reveals no records of the Elhabe No 4. A business in Brazil is offering a couple of No.5 Elhabe clamps for sale. The additional information I have received is:
Based on a reference from an English Museum it is possibly over 70 years old

Sergeant Clamp 4 Drgm Elhabe German Rarity !!!
Sergeant clamp 4 DRGM Elhabe

We are making final arrangements.
I've been told of twice for trying to put my hand in the slice and cupcake containers.
For what reason I'm unsure off!
I was trying to do quality control.
I may have take this matter up with a higher management team.
See ya all soon
Cheers Matt
