    Default Melbourne Turn-on 31 January 2010

    The wheel has spun around to me to host another turning event. This time the Western side of Melbourne gets to sleep in

    I am planning for it to be on Sunday 31 January.

    Where: Hoppers Crossing (address will be PM'd later)
    When: 31 January
    Start: 0930 to about 4.

    Please post your interest here so I can get an idea of numbers.

    Also, as I am a novice turner (read - beginner) demonstrators are welcome.

    Something I haven't seen yet at one of these events is an emphasis on finishing techniques. Maybe if our host turns up he could show us something.

    Funny you should mention that.

    On the 2oth Feb we have the annual club get together here with about 6 clubs attending.

    This year is finishing with Jim Carroll demonstrating U beaut and Ken Wraight demonstrating his gallery finish.

    Neil isn't back until end of February.

    Greg good luck on getting someone to demo sanding

    - Ern would no doubt br the best/expert/authority on this subject but unfortunately his broken wing would prevent him from Demo although i have no doubt he would instruct you on the correct use/placement of sandpaper

    Do you have a set of 65mm (inside diameter) shark jaws and i will have a go at a pepper grinder. I will bring the drills etc.

    can do the outside.

    Cheers

    I'm in.

    Happy to chat about faceplate work finishing but there'll be plenty of other talent there to contribute as well.

    PS amend that to lead a discussion on ...

    Peeps could list finishing probs they'd like to get some tips on
    eg. avoiding ripples due to distinct well-spaced early and late growth
    Cheers, Ern

    I would have liked to attend, but it is a bit of a travel for me. Besides, there is an annual religious event that I have to observe that day.
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    Gidday Groggy,

    Yes I would love to come too.

    Note: From what I've read on these forums I believe

    I will be the only true beginner in attendance.
    Regards,
