So who's up for another Get Together?
ME
:2tsup::2tsup:
i will be holding a sawdust bbq some time but it has been put off as i have to mutch to do and teh joint is a mess. need to get the tractor home to clean some space.
when it's warmer, or if it's held someplace warmer than the Darling Downs:rolleyes:
Carl knows the ideal warm place.
The back bar of the Cooktown Pub.
No problems, I'll have a place to stay then, got a few relatives in Cooktown:)
Oh, too far away? bugger!:rolleyes:
Well who's gonna host it then:?
weisyboy.....he's got credit up there
I'm not sure we could all find our way to Carl's:B
Well?
we dont all have the sence of direction of a cow.
i willbe hosting one some stage but dotn hold your breath.
Wild Dingo's heading our way. why not line it up for when he gets to this part of Queensland:)
Good idea Wendy:2tsup: And thanks for offering to host it:2tsup::2tsup::q:;
Oh No you don't FC :nonono::no::p:D
It all depends on when Mr WD is in town and a couple of other committments I have in September as to whether I attend, let alone even hold one.
I am in and out of Qld over the coming months whilst on leave, but I will attend a get together if I'm in town.
Hmm, seems however everyone always wants a get together, but we always run short of offers to actually host one. Apart from being in and out, I've held 3 so count me out to hold one soon, but I will try to be at any event within a decent driving distance provided I can get there. I just went to 2 in Melbourne :2tsup: and planning to attend one in WA in a few weeks :U.
For those of you fearful of holding a BBQ, here's some pointers to calm those fears:
- We are a friendly bunch and don't bite
- If you can't cook, someone else will (I've been known to cook a few)
- If you don't have a BBQ, have a cold meat & salad type BBQ, or ask someone to bring one (mine is mobile)
- If providing food & drinks is putting you off, just say it is BYO
- Disposable plates, cups knives & forks etc etc will do, and again if you don't have any, tell us to BYO
- If you worried about your messy yard & house, don't be, many of us are pigs :B. For my place, I just warn people to be prepared for a mess :U
- If your shed is small, or you don't even have one, again don't worry. All we need is a yard to spread out on. Others can bring things for a show & tell, or a swap meet, or just chew the fat over a friendly drink.
- If you don't have chairs, ask people to again BYO
- If you are worried about the mess afterwards, some of us have been known to even help out there.
- If you are worried about the weather (in Queensland :?), just ask everyone to log on at a certain time to confirm it is off or on - just allow for people's travel times.
It isn't really that hard :no:
BBQ/get togethers are a great way to meet and greet other forumites and discuss similar interests. So take a deep breath and step up :U
If I thought you would like to spend a day playing with timber, maybe even lighting the forge and then eating woodfired pizzas I would offer to host a get together.
If the pizzas do not sound appealing we could always have bickies & dip:rolleyes:
Regards,
Ray
will begging work????:)
beg, beg, govel, grovel, please, pretty with a zillion strawberries on -
And Whipped Cream:D
If it is to be and Kingsthorpe is a suitable location are there some suggested dates. I'll need a bit of time to shovel out the shed & slash the jungle that passes for a yard.
I'll probably have to do some test tastings of the pizzas in advance as well:licklips::;
A forge?!:D Woodfired pizza?!:DPlaying with wood?!:D With my luck I'll be working the weekend yous choose. Sounds great, so, Kingsthorpe? near toowoomba somewhere?
Donna
Yep, nice and close:2tsup:Quote:

Hmm just looked up my calendar and I'm off and about from 16th Sept, any chance of before then? Sat or Sun Ok with me.
I've got something on the 6th (dovetailing lesson:2tsup:) so the 13th would work. It's up to Ray
Either the 13th or 14th works for me. Does that suit everyone else.
Ray
suits me too, Many thanks Ray.:2tsup:
cheers
Wendy
Sounds good Ray!
Do you want an extra forge and anvil?
Cheers,
I'm on call all weekends in September, so will turn up if I am not working on the day. Fingers crossed.
Donna
Hello all,
Donna I hope you can make it.
Andy you can bring your forge & anvil along if you want. Do you have a project we could do, I was going to make a couple of cala? lillies. I was hoping people would bring along some show & tell stuff to help fill the day.
I've got a couple of wood lathes to play with.
I will provide enough standard pizza dough, pizza sauce, cheese, shreded ham, olives, onion and anything else I think of for toppings. Please feel free to bring along any special toppings or base doughs.
I can't throw the bases, I use a rolling pin to spread them but am willing to learn how to throw them if any one can do it.
Ray
Cooool:2tsup:
If you need any advice on holding a Do then just ask me or Neil.
Hint: Get a list of who's coming together
Anyone know when Wild Dingo is here?
This pizza idea sounds great, I'll bring some toppings. I assume BYO drinks.
How are you off for chairs?
Sat or Sun?
I can bring my Ci1 rougher for anyone to have a try on the lathe. I'll also bring my thread chaser in case someone can show me how to use it :-. I should be able to make a scratch awl and making knife for door prizes as usual. I'll also be cutting up quite a bit of timber in the next few weeks I have off, so I'll bring some of that too.
i wont be there.
buisy that weekend unfortunately.:((
So make it the Saturday, 13th
turning up:
Wendy
Andy
Funky
Neil
Sleeping Dog?
Donna?
Myself of course
Who else?
That will be good Neil.
I hadn't thought about door prize stuff.
Yes BYO drinks please. I will have some soft drink & a couple of bottles of lunatic soup.
I have about 8 chairs without checking.
Ray
I can do a turning demo and (hoping I've become proficient enough by then) a dovetailing demo
Ray, I'll bring whatever you'd like to fill in the catering arena, eg dessert? so I'll check in with you closer to the Saturday. I'll add a couple of things into the door prize pile too.:)
Will check with Wild Dingo too!
cheers
Wendy
I have room for up to 4 if anyone needs a lift from the Gold Coast, PM me, first in gets a seat :U
Hi All,
I'm keen to join the get together.
I will need to try and shift work about for that weekend.
I'll post closer to the time to confirm attendance.
Also a spare seat on offer from Centenary Suburbs of Brisbane, all going well.
Cheers
Tom:D:D:D

The awl & marking knife look good.
