[RETIRED]

Cliff Rogers is coming to Melb on the 21st of April so we thought a Get together was in order at Robbos Playpen.

Looking for suggestions on a theme for the day to do with turning.

[Pagie]

Don't care. I will learn somthing anyway..:2tsup:

[Scott]

Off centre?

[tea lady]

A communal chess set? Maybe with a couple of dozen of us we could make one set! :D

[Cliff Rogers]

It is going to happen.

Monday 16th to Friday 20th at the Sebel in Melbourne.

Going to try to come down Sunday 15th & stay til Sunday 22nd.

[Cliff Rogers]

Hope to have a bit of time to work on some weird scrapers for detail on a bit of art by then.

I'll see what size bit of hoop pine I can fit in my luggage for a 'corroborative' platter.

It fairly plain & light but it can be decorated with burning, carving & dyes.

[Kev Y.]

I will see how I go, we get back from the "land of the long white cloud" on the 19th.

[tea lady]

Cliff could show us how to do thread chasing! :cool:

Cheaper than a Box of unused Sorby's, see Dave Pat didn't need to bring the Sorby tools up for you from Kiewa you could have got them from Jim when you gow down in April...............I'll wave the box when you fly over.

[RETIRED]

But it is $130.00 well spent, Guilio is a great demo teacher, I will second that.

[Cliff Rogers]

Hi Cliff,
Was wondering if there might be a bit of wood you don't have, that One of us maybe able to get for you.
You know, we know, you don't have any DRY WOOD up there, so I thought we might be able to to something about it.

[Cliff Rogers]

My Mum & Dad have a sheep & cattle property just west of Longreach, I have dry wood. :2tsup:

Never say no to a bit of red gum burl, remember, I am travelling in a plane & I can only check in 20 Kg & I will have about a weeks worth of dirty washing to take how. :D

The thought had crossed my mind. :think:

We went to Brissy for 5 days & 4 nights at the start of this month & we only had carry on luggage tickets.
The first 2 nights we were there we went out to shows & did some shopping. We posted some of the shopping & some of the gear we didn't need again. :2tsup:

[Cliff Rogers]

Nah! Just buy new clothes when he gets home! :D
Nuh, I already have more timber than I could possibly use in this lifetime... why would I waste money buying new clothes when I don't have to, just so I can take more timber home. :?

[tea lady]

Nuh, I already have more timber than I could possibly use in this lifetime... why would I waste money buying new clothes when I don't have to, just so I can take more timber home. :?Maybe you could float home! :D

I thought timber was like clamps. Pass on to the next generation. :U

[issatree]

Hi Cliff,
I'm sorry, but of all the 87 species I have, I don't have any Red Gum Burl.
Maybe someone has some.
Maybe I should not have brought it up ?.

[RETIRED]

Ok, we have one suggestion for off centre turning.

Was that spindles such as a club foot or cabriolet leg or something like a pendant?

[Cliff Rogers]

I'm interested in doing decorated platters... I'm currently going through all my old Woodturning Mags cutting out the good bits.
I plan to put them through the scanner before I stick the in a folder so I'll have them in .pdf format soon.

[RETIRED]

Sounds like fun and something AM and I have been thinking about for a while.

[Cliff Rogers]

Burning, carving, texturing, colouring, piercing, bleaching, inlaying, casting, gilding, painting, bending, stamping, lacing, embossing, branding, what else can we do to it? :think:

[Groggy]

Maybe we could make this one fancy dress in Cliff's honour. :D

[Christos]

Maybe we could make this one fancy dress in Cliff's honour. :D


Would it not be funny if you all show up dressed as wood faries.
