DUTA was as always a great event. I had a few hiccups with my lathe stand (new, too high) and safety prescription glasses (arm falling off) that Harry Dennis of Albury-Wodonga Woodcrafters fixed (a duckie board and some 1 1/2 times glasses).
The dust got to me badly by the Saturday night, but I got a lot in before then. I will be seeking advice on the Trend air shield and its competitors separately. Too many power sanders for my liking.
I really enjoyed turning on my new VL150 and the lessons from particularly Guilio Marcolongo and Ken Wraight which were first class.
I also spent less than a grand with CWS, so the cook was happy.
When I first started going to DUTA there were a lot of big lathes (and faceshields) but this time there was only a lone VL175. No UFOs either, though the odd catch or two.
A few faces were sorely missed, notably Vic and Bev Wood (who is recovering well).
It was also great to catch up with old faces and new friends.

Jeff, Max Synon gave me a bit of a run down on the issues you had with the stand. I cut down my original Jet mini lathe stand to suit the height of my new VL150. I just took about 175 mm from the top and dropped the cross bar accordingly re-drilling holes to suit. The VL150 is mounted on some 18mm ply that is reinforced with another layer of 18 mm ply under the bolt hold down points. It still maintains about 75 mm adjustment with the top arrangement. Feels good so far.

Looks like there was a good turnout of the Werribee boys.

Neil, you @#$%%## sniped me at the last to get that
Robby, thanks for the pic of the cannon, that's on the to do list, or at least my interpretation of.
Thanks to the organisers of DUTA for another good weekend, made even better when I won entry into next years event
Thanks to my fellow attendees, for a informative and lively weekend of turning, talking and fun.Pat
