One on how to grind an 3mm bowl gouge would be great free hand please prefer to do mine that way.

    Fletty as mentioned still unsure as to attendance a possible maybe is best I can do at this stage.

    I like Tony also have flat blade jigs for the Tormek, my Stanley Plane blade guide, a number of stones, hones and such even my drill sharpening jig I haven't yet set up due to lack of room constraints.

    If!!!! I get there?? If I get the time and can get it done before hand I'll bring something special or see if I can borrow a mates jig its used for specific type tools


    Nick has been drip under pressure thats me I once told Fletty "over all my years of learning to sharpen and working with sharp edge tools, I'd had enough" I am still learning almost daily that the job at hand may require something out of the ordinary to do whats required. My FiL used to put a mean edge on his knives being a civilian cook at SME Moorebank in the Officers mess something Sue & oldest son now carry on.

    I'd like to be in on this too. Have a Tormek and an Edgepro knife sharpener but would like to improve my techniques and learn more. Also wondering if scrapers could be included in to the mix?

    The tools, machines and processes available are....

    • Standard bench grinder and CBN wheel/s
    • Tormeks and clones clone with many accessories
    • Tormek drill sharpening jig
    • Miller Falls horizontal wet grinder
    • Robert Sorby ProEdge belt sanderwith gouge and knife sharpening accessories
    • diamond plates
    • steel plates and diamond paste
    • Shapton stones (220 to 8000)
    • veritas sharpening jig with narrow chisel attachment
    • eclipse sharpening jig
    • Mpower sharpening jig
    • Alisam sharpening sled
    • Heavy plate glass and
    • wet and dry paper and
    • lapidary film


    • Worksharp 300
    • polished stone slab/s
    • 2 X FAGCIB ........
    • files, burnishers and jigs to sharpen scrapers


    As a GTG, there will also be a BBQ (free sausage sandwiches) and plenty of time to sit around, brag, buy, sell or swap tools and timber .......and tell outrageous lies about woodwork, fishing and life.

    I hope the date is convenient as it avoids a few other events, Sturt Workshop, TTTG sale and Dave TTC's GTG and is on a long weekend for Canberrans and Victorians but unfortunately it does clash with Kyneton Lost Arts Fair ☹️
    If you are interested, and have not already replied, please just PM me and I will send details.

    A late entry, but if you can squeeze in another I'm planning to come too
    I think, therefore I am... unable to get anything finished!
