A great big thankyou to , Ken and Jim. What a day we all had, lots of information and some of the best demonstrations you could see. We all had a go at forming coves and rolling beads, with skew chisel and spindle gouges (some better than others!) I must confess, I wasn,t sure what a catch was until today! Lots of practice ahead of me.
Thanks again boy's
Cheers John

after such a great day (albeit without ripple cake), I now find that I again have to email Jim for yet more supplies (Tormek stuff) . These "get-togethers' always seem to involve subsequent expenditure of "necessities". This event has highlighted the absolute requirement of additional jigs, black wheel, additional bar etc. .

Thanks again to everyone for a great day. Nalmo (Alan) in the black jacket with yellow band.
Got home & resharpened my detail gouge to a flatter shape at the sharp end (a new technical term I learned today). Now it turns beads & coves with ease.
If anyone wants a copy of pics below, let me know your email & file size you want.

Five weeks from initial post to a turnup like we had today, what a fantastic effort. Too bad those Sydneysiders can't get organised .

What a great day it was. Despite the cold another great turnout. Learned a lot and had great fellowship, renewed old acquaintance and made new friends.
Thanks for putting up with us.

Thanks go to , Ken and Jim for a great day and some one-on-one tuition, both turning wise and sharpening wise.
Ken transformed the weirdest looking grind (produced by yours truly) on a spindle gouge ever produced, to an extremely professional looking grind. Thanks Ken.
Had a great day, learned a lot, met lots of new people (great to put faces to so many forumites)
Had some trouble convincing myself to drive 2 1/2 - 3 hours to this event, but it was more than worth it.
Thanks again guys

Looks like I missed a really great day Sounds like everyone had a great day with lots of leasons learnt
Also looks like the shed has been re-arranged again specifically for the demos with the multiple lathes - worked a treat by the looks. Others may not realize how much effort and others put into these events, my hat goes off to themNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Another great day was had by all, it was good to see so many entusiastic people trying things they were not familiar with.
Always good to have a chat with every one in a more relaxed atmosphere.
For us it is not about work but trying to help, a social day
From the replies all had an enjoable day.
The and Ken banter kept all amused. It is amazing that 2 guys who are so different in their woodturning still do all the basics the same way, this proves it is not the size of the tools you use but the way you use them is the same.
Ken even got out his dusty normal sized tools for the tormek demo.
Ern unfortunatly you missed the tormek sharpening on the 4000g wheel this is the ants pants for getting a great edge on any tool. So quick and easyJim Carroll
