    thanks Matt,

    And thanks to you and Sally for your help with the food preparation, I really appreciate you both stepping in so that I could go out to the shed to greet the arrivals and settle everyone in.

    Thanks to Pagie for milling some of my log collection until his chainsaw blade broke.

    Aldav brought in some giveaways as well as donating the lucky door prize. thanks.

    Thanks also to those who brought food to share and timber for the timber swap. The timber swap itself did not generate a lot of interest despite some interesting and historic items being offered. Bob (OldGreybeard) brought some redgum that had been used in a Scienceworks project and DaveinOz brought a piece of the Old Darwin Pier. We might have to look at a different format for the timber swap next year or find something else that works better.

    And of course thanks to all who attended for being pleasant company.

    I might have to be careful in selecting the date for next year as I have heard that the TWWW show may be changing back to October too.

    Thanks to all for making it a great day.

    I’ll echo the comments above.

    If you can put me in touch with your weather man I’d like to make a booking for my Australia Day weekend GTG

    Also hope to add a couple more pics perhaps tonight ... might even be able to add some names Dallas [emoji6]

    How's the planning for that going Dave? Will it be similar to last year's with projects for the kids again? I might need a bit of planning time for that.

    Yes Doug, similar to last year, must get a thread up and running in the next few weeks.

    Thanks Doug for the hospitality, it was great to meet everyone
    ... and walking away with the door prize was a welcome surprise.

    Good food, good people, good chat ... all good

    Thanks again to everyone who supported my Open Shed Day 2018.

    It was great to see so many people entering into the spirit of the event, making new friends and helping each other as we woodies tend to do.

    At this Open Shed Day, I was given a large piece of timber by DaveIinOZ. It was a piece of a jetty in Darwin that was bombed in the Japanese raid in WW2.

    Today I decided that I had picked it up and carried it around once too often for it's size so I cut some pieces off of it.

    I'm not sure of the timber type but this piece of it is destined to become the Shoulder-vise spacer block in my workbench build.
