My thanks to FC and his mum for the day. I definitely learned quite a bit about turning, especially since I'm a total newbie at it. Donna, I am passing back through that way next weekend and I'll drop some Bull-oak off for FC. Thanks again everyone. cheers Derek

Sorry for the delay in replying. Neil, HWMNBO and I have only just gotten back in from having dinner at Hogg's Breath. Neil says 'Hello' from his comfy positon on the couch

It was an interesting day. Many thanks to Andrew and his Mum, Sandra, for hosting us. Great to see Funky getting involved in learning a few tips and tricks with turning. Ivan - did you count all your planes? I bet I wasn't the only one whose eyes glazed a bit when checking out your new additions

Also a special Thank You to Mrs Artme for helping out and bringing down the much-appreciated dip and chips - Thank you!

Okay here's the full report...

After sitting around and talking/showing off wood/work it was off to the "shed." I did a small turning demo and Ivan brought out his planes (some veeeeeeeeery nice HNTs which worked like a dream and a #7 and #8 (huge things them.)
Then delicious lunch and desserts supplied by everyone

Then everyone just sorta moseyed around swapping timber and yacking away. I got showed how to use a cabinet scraper by Ken (Flooby duster) while Neil swiped my Bull oak log


Over all it was a success.. Looking forward to next time

[dai sensei]

..Neil swiped my Bull oak log ..

Sorry ol son, didn't know it was for you, the door prize thing didn't really happen. Glad to see your getting more though.

It was great to catch up with everyone again, thanks for the day FunkyC. Say thanks to you mum too.
