Hi all, I have made a post that can hopefully be made into a sticky with the Friday and Sunday online meetings links in it so that they are easy to find instead of being hidden in long threads, This might help prospective new attendees find the right link to log into as well.

I have been trying to get in to the skype link for 10 minutes. Anyone else sitting watching a little circle going around with a little message under it saying "Creating your shiny new conversation"?
I would just be happy with the old one thanks.

Well the 3 amigos had a discussion about sharpening saws, and chair building. Leather work and maybe a stool course.
Well I started a chair building lesson for Simplicty.
First grab some wood and make some spindles. you need to carve some wood, any type into 4 x 330mm, 2 x 430, and about 7 off 650mm. They need to be about 8mm one in and about 13mm and the bulge in the middle. I can't load pics at the moment. maybe Mat can?

I hope to be there, but I do have a M-Day hook up at 2030hrs so I have a definite cut off time.

Matt I hope you have started to sharpen your new draw knife. And your new brace and bits.
Good discussion tonight on Braces and Bits. Where is Boring Geoff when you need him?
This is the International Tool Library link:
Internet Archive Search: Stanley tools
That is particularly for Stanley Tools. This is the link to the home page and I think you have to register to view the content. Well worth while. I didn't count but I think there would have been at least fifty Stanley catalogues and publications. Because I was logged in you may not get access and have to do a search for:
The International Tool Catalogue Library on google.
Regards
Paul
These links are specifically because Matt asked for them:
Firstly the fibre wheels for a bench grinder. I have bought 200mm and 150mm discs in the past. I think the higher numbers are the hardest compounds (P9 is harder than P5).
3"-12" inch Nylon Fiber Polishing Buffing Wheel Abrasive Pad for Metal 5P/7P/9P | eBay
Sometimes objects are not convenient to take to a bench grinder so for those occasions I use a 100mm disc on an angle grinder
4 Inch Nylon Fiber Polishing Buffing Wheel Pad Disc For Angle Grinder 5/10/20Pcs | eBay
I am not particularly recommending this seller one way or the other, although I have bought from them and been pleased with the purchase and you should do your own research for price and quantities. This link was the first I turned up located in Australia:
200mm Nylon Fiber Polishing Wheel Sanding Buffing Disc Abrasive 4894817021947 | eBay
This listing says each but it is each of five pieces :shrug:.
5x Nylon Fiber Wheel Abrasive Polishing Buffing Disc Pad Angle Grinder Practical | eBay
With the angle grinder packs a quantity of ten seems to be the most economical way without going for a truck load. Watch carefully to check what you are buying.

Matt nominated me to set the topic (assuming that we stick with it) for tonight's virtual GTG.
I thought about chainsaws, sharpening, finishes, etc, all that boring stuff we have done over and over and thought we need something different.
As you get older, what changes have you made in your woodworking (techniques, equipment, shed layout, material selection, type of projects, etc) so that you can continue your hobby and maintain as much capability as you can as you progressively become less able to rely on brute strength, keen young eyesight and any other attributes we all begin to lose as the years wear us down.
It is a subject that occasionally comes up incidentally but how about a chat where we can all talk about what worked, or not worked, for us. For the younger members it would be an opportunity to find out what is in your future and allow you to start planning early so that the impact is less.
See you all at 7.30 Melbourne time.
That’s easy I got Reading Glasses,[emoji6][emoji6][emoji41].
See ya tonight.
Cheers Matt.

It is nearly that time of the week and it was left to me to suggest the topic for tonight. Apologies for the late notification, but for this eveing I am suggesting that we discus the use we make of patterns and jigs, particularly for repetetive work.
As usual everybody is welcome to attend and we would like to see some new blood with probably some new ideas. This is the link to attend and it is easiest to "join as a guest." It may just ask for a name.

Starting time tonight is 7.30pm (AEST) and we usually run for up to an hour. If the timing does not exactly suit you can sign in late or leave early. Several of us are often finishing tea or enjoying a drink of some sort, but I don't want to mention any names and for myself I wish to plead the 5th! It is very casual. :)
See you all then.
Regards
Paul
Any talk, on any variety of Saws this evening, is strictly Prohibited under section 4, line 17898765 of the requirements to chat thingy, that i have in a security vault in some country somewhere.
Cheers Matt.
What about axes?
Good discussion tonight.
This is the Red Blue chair by Gerrit Rietveld first made in 1917 in plain timber (also slightly thicker dimesions)and painted in the iconic colours around 1923 after Rietveld joined the movement De Stijl (not the chainsaw manufacturer).It was intended as a budget chair for the masses, but became more of a cult item. The red and blue seat and back are painted plywood while the structural components are hardwood (ironbark on my chairs) stained black and varnished.
Red and Blue Chair - Wikipedia
This is one of the two I made (this chair has a couple of thin foam cushions, which were not intended by Rietveld):
Attachment 512728
The novel I referenced was:
Holding the Zero – Gerald Seymour
I don't think the military experts will be disappointed with this book. For those that were not at the Jabber, the subject of rifles came up as I have been asked to make a replacement gunstock for an old 1960s single shot rifle, the name of which I still have to obtain from the owner. I was chasing ideas of how to form the deep, tapered groove that accepts the rifle barrel.

Paul

I find it quite comfortable, but SWMBO did make up the cushions for me, being somebody with little natural padding and less of a hardarse than Rietveld may have imagined. With the cushions I can sit in it for significant periods of time. Although in pictures it may seem large, it is actually quite a small chair.
My two chairs were originally made for our son and daughter. The daughter's ex partner did not like the chair so we got that one back and the son is in Norway so we are "minding" his chair too.

If it was made in steel the structural integrity would have been guaranteed, but in timber with minimal reinforcing I am not sure I would have sat down hard on it!

The accute mitres seem to be reinforced by the brass bolts and there is cross-bracing behind each such mitre. Like Paul and Neil, I am wary of the engineering - it looks like it was designed to fold. And its not available at Ikea!
