    30% of 0-1mm is fine so long as it is not a 70% of 2-20mm

    Default This was absolutely not my idea, but I humoured him

    And there are some of you who say that I'm a dust nazi.

    'Shmiller showed up this arvo, and insisted on showing me some saws, and how well they work. Deeply suspicious of being set up for an auction tomorrow, I agreed.

    What I wasn't expecting was his insistence on using DE with it.

    Looking foward to it. it's a shame Fletty can't make it, as I was looking foward to catching up with him, the office has been so quiet since he retired.

    I reckon the weather right now is probably the way it will be tomorrow. Misty, occasional very fine precipitation, nothing worth worrying about in the excellent company of ~2 tonnes of wood-lovin' humanity. Apart from the permanent tarp over the deck, there's another tarp up (in the usual format) which is a continuation of the deck tarp.

    Don't worry about it - will be coolish and quite pleasant (particularly in contrast to yesterday).

    Good morning Guy's.
    I'm getting ready to go to the Tasmanian Vintage Motorcycle Rally in Ross.
    Looks like it should be a nice day down here.

    But I still wish I had made it to the GTG.
    Hope you all have a great day of it.

    Cheers
    Trev.

    Neither cold nor rain will stop a group of like minded souls converging on a shed . . . Another successful raid on Katoomba . . . I might have to have a T shirt made, "I survived the Katoomba GTG 2015"

    Default Another Top Day for the Woodwork Forum

    Another Top Day for the Woodwork Forum in Katoomba...

    The early mist didn't deter the woodworkers gathering to both chat and meet some old mates & a few new faces, which was great....

    The numbers were up again on past attendances; the host & hostess were welcoming as usual [THANK YOU]....

    The new deck [aka dance floor or wharf] withstood the weight test, though will now need cleaning.........

    The swap, buy and sell stall was well supplied with good trade..... .....

    The demo's were very much appreciated, BUT NOT THE SAW DUST by the owner in his ever well kept shed..........

    A special mention going to Paul [Bushmiller] for the handsaw auction & chisel auction, plus to Alan [Fletty] in his very generosity support even while he wasn't able to attend.........

    While I only traveled a half hour up the hill others came from the Northern Beaches, Sutherland Shire, all across the wider Sydney, central NSW and as far as southern Queensland and Victoria.... ....WHAT A TOP EFFORT GENTS!!

    I've attached some photos for those who couldn't make it and those who were thinking about, sorry, but you've missed a top day so please come to the next gathering....they're great fun....cheers, crowie

    Thanks to all for a good day and special thanks to Fence Furniture and his lovely bride for hosting the event, and also, bush miller for orchestrating the Auction.

    I'll be at the next meet. Pete.

    Fletty. Staying at Uncle Al's tonight. Hope to have a couple of days work for my SIL. Likely passing your house on Thursday.

    My little score from the weekend aside from a great time with a great bunch of blokes and partners where appropriate

    Something for turning



    Something for planing (thx pacman for above and below)



    A little something picked up on the day from another thread. (Thx Russell)



    Sadly his little number has no cap iron or blade so my excuse for no restoration could lie there. There was a mention 'someone' may have soe spares 'somewhere'



    And from Paul was able to purchase. Ery reasonably some blades for my bow saw



    Pete .... there's a heap more of those blades. Bushmiller was hapoy to swap for some old wood and rusty steel you had

    Brett ... appologies for showing off your workshop, cant help myself when i walk in through the magic door
