Get together/swap meet

Ok Midge's get together was a huge success:) but I missed it:mad:. I think we have at least one more chance to get together before Xmas:D. I also have a small spare cyclone (see pic) and the odd pen, perfume sprayer and other odds and ends (someone may want for Xmas presents) I want to get rid off. I prefer not to sell my stuf, so I thought, what about a swap meet.

My place is on the Gold Coast in Nerang. It may be in the suburbs, but I have a BBQ area and a pool for those of you who may want a dip. It's QLD after all and it's bound to be hot:p .

Sunday 6 November - I'll provide the meat and the heat, for the BBQ that is;) , you provide anything else you may want.

If you have nothing to swap, come anyway, the more the better.

Cheers

Hi neil,
Plan on doing everything in my power to get there, especially considering sister-in-law lives 15 minutes away.

What do you want for the cyclone. How about a couple of big chunks of brazilian cedar or fijian mahogany?????

Yeah, make it a saturday.:D Doug can provide the visual entertainment if the conversation gets boring :D:D

I also have some stainless steel conveyor rollers. Approx 500mm long and 40mm diameter. Could be good for outfeed table or similar.

I'll be there which ever day - I'll bring a bottle of red and swap with anyone else who has one :D

Sure I'll find something else in the shed too ;)

Jamie

Neil, would love to come but can't do that date! Could do the weekend after! Got some people coming up from Sydney...

Cheers
Danielle and Tom

Sorry Neil,

This side of Christmas is out for moi too!

Have a great day though.

Cheers,

P

I'll be there. I don't mind Saturdays or Sundays. A swap meet idea is different and interesting.

cheers
Wendy

Hi Neil


I would love to ome and meet with you all but next week Iam off to work again.

I have changed jobs having left the oil rigs. New venture is working on dive support vessels which do the sub sea connection work for offshore oil wells

Do have a great time I will catch up at one of these get togethers

Love the idea of the swap meeting

Cheers Sam

Yeah, I'll come. I'll swap a swag of timber for a return ticket Cairns-Brisbane - but you'll need to send the ticket in advance! :D

Mick

We're there too :).


Cheers

I think I can make it. If my stuff arrives from canada in time I may have a tool or two I've made for trade.


Is this a forum only get together or can our better halves be there to.

We would be, but it's such a long drive from Victoria ;)

"perfume sprayer"...............

Is this really a woodworking meet?

Has anybody email or pm'd shane watson yet?
I'll be there if I can possibly manage it.
cheers

Well it looks like a goer.

Doug - sorry but I work Saturdays at the moment, but next year I'll try to make one on a Saturday.

Dan/Tom - sorry if you can't make it, but if your friends like woodwork you could always bring them, Ok by me.

Bitingmidge/Sam - next time maybe.

Mick - timber sounds good, but ticket in advance hmm

Gumby - I'll actually be down your way in March, so perhaps I could catch one of you Melbourne get togethers.

Phil - the perfume sprayers are made from wood.

I'll PM all those interested with the address a bit closer to the date.

Cheers

Always welcome at our Triton club meeting (3rd sunday each month). It's more about general woodworking than Triton.

If the swap is still on I have a small front vise screw that I don't want anymore.

http://www.timbecon.com.au/details/f...ews-12980.aspx

It is the small one of the two on the page. I have decided that is is not right for the bench that I want to make. Let me know if you are interested to swap and I wil bing it down on the day.

If I may,
I'll pencil it in.
The AB's have been promised a "Learn to Surf" morning at Burleigh Heads somewhere about then.
I have a Freezer to pick up at Oxenford.
Might be a time to do heaps.

Just putting faces to people would be good.

Have to find something to trade..........Hmmmm :confused: :confused: :confused:

More to the point, do I have enough time to make something?????

cheers
RR

Mathew,

I hope wifes/partners are allowed cuz mine's coming - she enjoyed the Biting Midge get together and I like her to be involved in my interests at least sufficient to know some people I chat with and learn from - she has no interest in the process only the outcome - she is also a social butterfly :D .

Cheers

Mathew??

Yeh wives/partners are Ok by me. Has she got a sister?;)

To others with nothing to swap, don't worry about it, you can always pay cash. :D Personally, I love timber for turning. Just remember, your junk may be someone else's treasure.

Cheers

Yes, Neil
I'll be there. Sorry I took so long to reply. Just wanted to be sure the day was clear of commitments.

Kind regards
Brian

Have just been assigned the exam timetable for uni and I have a major exam on the monday after the meet, so I will have to withdraw my intent to visit. Hope you all have a good day and I hope to catch up with everyone on the future!!

I just checked the calendar too and found out I got mixed up and it's next weekend :mad: Now I have to be patient for another week, sigh! Oh, but I have another weekend to make more stuff :D - cool!!!! I should have about 4 small photo albums if anyone is interested.

cheers
Wendy

I'll bring along some little timber items I've knocked up using some pretty wood :) .


Cheers

Well I still have to test the BBQ and clean up a bit around the house:o ( 2 blokes living alone), but next weekend is on for next Sunday. I even made a set of salad servers for those who are bringing some.

Aim for late morning, the BBQ will fire up around mid-day.

I have sent everyone coming a PM with my address. If I have missed someone, just PM me and I'll send you the address back. For late comers, just ring me on 0417 782 204.

Cheers

Thanks soundman! As usual I missed this thread and thanks to Neil for sending me the PM...But work has me up at Darwin until mid December, so I miss yet another one...Go figure... ;)

That's it I definately won't be there, since my car will more than likely be at the panel shop for at least a full week. If I can organise myself, I will try to get some timber to rufflyrustic for the swap, but at this stage I won't commit. I hope you all have a good day and I look forward to catching up next time!!

Sorry to hear it Rowan, any chance of Rufflyrustic giving you a lift with the timber? If not, catch you next time.

Cheers

Hi, No problems with the wood, I'll be in my little ute. Got something for Neil, got something for TeeJay, and got some albums to swap. Haven't got a swimsuit yet - must do that this week ;)

Neil, what else do we need to bring besides beverages?
cheers
Wendy

Oh crap I've stuffed up my scheduling. I'll have to bail cause I wouldn't be able to make till around 3 or 4 pm. Have a good time kids.

Phooey!!! I was really looking forward to seeing you both again and meeting Simomatra.

Ah well, I'm sure there will be another party somewhere sometime soon-ish

cheers
Wendy

I'm so fulll!!! No way am I going swimming, I'd sink!!! What a feed, great steaks, salads and the best desserts ever!!! Excellent company though we seem to be missing a few .....

We have here Dei Sensei, Wizened of Oz, TeeJay and beautiful family - one of whom is enjoying the pool at present, Soundman and of course, me!

TeeJay will post a picture in the near future.

Dai Sensei's Swap Meet is a happening thing - great fun swapping goodies, tall stories and a lot of good hints and tips.
