Heads up: Forum turn on.

[RETIRED]

On the 23rd of February we have our annual Clubs gathering here. The subject covered will be sharpening.

Soooooooooo, I thought that while everything was out and set up (plus I have had some requests), why not have a Turn on the next day the 24th of February.

Usual things apply, BYO lunch (BBQ available) and chairs. Bring your sharpening problems and some mangled tools along.

[dai sensei]

Looks like I'll have to speed up a bit more on plans travelling between Sydney and Melbourne so I can make it :rolleyes:

[Sturdee]

Alas we won't be there as we're on the Gold Coast that weekend. :C

Peter.

[Scott]

Sounds like a plan, thanks :)

[Grommett]

Thanks as always. Look forward to catching up and learning heaps.

Cheers Michael

[Enfield Guy]

I might be able to attend this one. I have a project in Melbourne from the second week of Feb. Hopefully I can program a day off for learning.

Cheers
Bev

If so may just have to email our mate on the island and see if he can bring a little lathe for me to play on:;:B

[RETIRED]

Rats,

I have a doctors appointment Feb 22.

And there is the small matter of being 16,017 miles away.

Google Maps says:
<tbody>
Driving directions to Tooradin VIC, Australia

This route has tolls.
This route includes a ferry.
This route crosses through Japan.

Seems like the long way around.

I like the simplicity of step 34 -"Sail across the Pacific Ocean"

Postpone the doctors appointment and take a plane to Melbourne. I'm sure someone will pick you up from the airport and take you to Tooradin.

Problem solved. :U

I imagine it'd be a bit of a nightmare if you miss the 首都高・銀座・湾岸線 turn-off. :rolleyes:

[nz_carver]

So one week out people you know you don't want to miss this

[Kev Y.]

I will be there with Shedbound and RayT

[_fly_]

Got 8 chisels that need restoring, sharpening and new handles. Where better to go.

Off to T&T to see if I can find more.

Oh!, I'll be there.

[Grumpy John]

Unfortunately I can't make this one as I'll be on the way to/at Coober Pedy :((. Luckily I got my GTG fix last week at the Hunter Valley/Blue Mountains events.

[Pagie]

I'll be there, I need lots of teaching. I have managed to blow up some bowls lately.

[Enfield Guy]

I can't make it. The job in Melbourne that was supposed to start today has been deferred for 3 weeks due to the incompetence of the dudes doing the building modification. Bugger.

Cheers
Bevan
