Borer was/is here.

Borer is in Cairns this week.

We met up for a beer or 2 after work & he came to my place for dinner, I cooked & I didn't kill him.
We talked for about 6 & a half hours & now I reckon I'm about to loose my voice. We didn't talk about all of you, we ran out of time.:rolleyes:
Nah, we had lots to talk about besides you lot. :D
I showed him one of my sheds & some of my timber & 2 of my lathes & one of my band saws & some of my turning & he wants to take the floor out of our house & use it to make furniture. :eek:

It's good to catch up with other members, particularly when you have heaps in common to talk about, even if he's not a turner & I don't do much with the dark side. :D

No pictures Rogers? I miss borer already cos I have not seen him for more then 4 weeks. :D

Nah, I've got a camera but I can't find the lead for it to get the pics out of it so I stopped taking more pics. :rolleyes:

When's the trip to Kuranda? :D:D:D

Wednesday I think.

So did you have the traditional drunken dovetail cutting competition?

Nope, talked about it but I don't have the gear at my place in Cairns to do that.

Sounds like you need a USB card reader thingy, assuming the memory card is removable from your camera.

Oh sure .. if you want to take the easy way of doing it :D :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Woodborer dropped in today on the way back from Ravenshoe (highest town in Queensland). We spent a bit of time in my shed looking at electron burners and my barely started kitchen. He admired my biodiverse (read weed-infested) yard and the timber stacks. Also went for a little drive to check out the falls and the surroundng scenery. Also managed not to poison him with my cooking :rolleyes:

Mick

Thanks for the hospitality Cliff and Mick.

It was a quick trip, my days were mainly taken up with work during the day (apart from the weekend) but I managed to have a great time.

Cliff kindly gave me some timber which should arrive back here next week with all the training equipment.

Mick's bottle of (I've forgotten what it is called) didn't explode in my suitcase on the way home. I taped the top on securely to avoid an explosion.

Although we don't all share the same aspects of woodwork (turning, electron burning, darkside etc) we all have heaps in common. I did however notice some darkside tools at all three sheds I visited. :)

Again thanks, sorry I couldn't catch up with all the Cairns boys but time was tight.

BTW It wasn't me who upset a few people on the BB whilst I was away!

Sorry I missed you wood borer, try for the next time your in Cairns.:(

Will do Speedy.

G'day,

Hey WoodBorer, there's an open invitation for you to come around my joint and open some tops off some ales in my shed sometime if you're up for it.

Our last and first meeting was a long time ago now. :D

Waldo,

I was wondering who you were and then I thought "that's terrigal forgetting someone I have met once since last Christmas" :D

It sounds like consuming ales is one of your vices.

Yes, we much catch up for an ale.

G'day WoodBorer,

Nah they're just good to have a couple now and then with friends etc. Design and wood are more a vice than anything else. :D

Sorry about the confusion had my Username changes a few weeks ago from Chris! to Waldo.

When ever suits you.

Woodborer,
it's a bottle of Limecello. Italians traditionally make Limoncello, a liqueur flavoured with lemon peel. This one is made with lime, enjoy! (alcohol level is around 20%)

Chris,

I racked my brains for a little while and then figured it out. There were three cryptic clues in my previous message hinting at your identity.

Thanks for the details Mick, I will approach with caution - no driving or smoking.

I won't be posting any photos if I do Craig. ;)

G'day WoodBorer,

In reading your post firt time I saw a couple of pointers, reading your post again this morning they stand out like Doug's avitar. :D

I'm interested.... when we were in Italy last year we came across several different incarnations of it. Lemoncello, Lemoncino, Lemonce, all of them were either Grappa made with lemons or lemon flavoured Grappa of some sort. I didn't like the Grappa but the Lemoncello is a different story.
They also have another one made with Strawberries called Fragolini... bit too sweet for me.

I think he may have already opened the bottle. :rolleyes: :D

And yes I do realise that it was deliberate. :) ;)

G'day Rob,

Same here. After your grand hospitality, I'd welcome you to my little 'shop for a yarn, some woodiness, and if you're game, some "red-diness".

Just call the day, mate!

Cheers!

There are two well known interstate BB members heading to Mexico in the near future so we can all catch up then.

I note that we now have another Borer on the board so I should point out that this thread was for Wood Borer.


I'm working on the day, the dates are Saturday 10 Sept & Sunday 11 Sept but I don't know which one I can have yet. I've applied for a couple of hours leave after lunch on either & I'm waiting to hear.
I'll keep you posted.

We'll work something out Cliff.

There are a few borers on the BB now.

Leaning toward Sunday 11th after lunch. We are going to theatre that night so friends we are visiting are planning a day outing on Saturday.
