Thread: Sharpening Get Together (GTG), March 13th, 2016

That's quite a list, and I am still a question mark at this stage.

Unfortunately I have to bail out - the social secretary reminded me last night that grand daughters birthday party is on at our place that day..........
Still working on any options but there aren't many - we're too far away to be able to duck out for a bit
Looks like the big "bugger" for right now.
Anyway, you boys have a great day of it. And take lots of pics to post later on

is that bent over backwards or standing on your head doing yoga?

Thanks for the in depth route instructions to the Fletty mansion Alan. The urn is ready to go, and I will have a Plus 1 with me, Christine, who is into woodturning and all things wood. She has a Tormek and is interested in general sharpening and seeing how other people go about it.
Looking forward to a great day.

Alan... ( & Chris)

Christos likes Peppermint tea with milk n honey although he is swaying to a brew of Ginger now.

Coming by Pushbike, Car, train, plane or boat?

My intention is to drive. The directions indicate that it will be little over an hour from where I live.

Hi Gents

Just a quick question about the weekend coming up. Will there be a tormek setup with a gouge jig and maybe a tool rest aswell?

Reason I ask is Dave has kindly bought some turning chisels on my behalf and I wouldnt mind someone showing me the ropes with the tormek before I buy the jigs and tackle it myself.

Cheers
Dirk

Hi Dirk, the gouge jig for the ProEdge is a definite (already here!) and l think Pat is bringing a jig with his Tormek?

The torment gouge jig will be there . . . SVD - 185, unless a SVD - 186 turns up next week.

Wondering if I should bring the Scheppac Jig and my adaptor which fits the Tormek
