Watcha Dooen in Dooen 2018 ... Australia Day Weekend

[DaveTTC]

Jerilderie Jaunt and Watcha Dooen at Dooen? This is my 5th anniversary and we are shaking things up a little bit.

Fri 26 Jan
Sat 26 Jan
Sun 28 Jan

To start off this year will be a tribute to our dearly departed Reploconics aka Trev or Trevor Jones. He may be gone but his spirit lives on!

Something else different. On the Friday of that the GTG I have opened it up to home educated (home schoolers as some may call them) children. The intent here is for each child to be able to do a short project ranging between 30 - 90 minutes. Kids will range from 5 to their teens. At this stage I have had expressions of interest for more than 40 kids over the period of the day

Your help ... if you are willing to work with a child for a project that would be greatly appreciated. This is a fine oppurtunity to introduce a new generation to the wonders of woodwork. I would ask if possible for those that are willing could you bring what is needed to do projects with 5 to 10 children. If you need to reimbursed cost of materials we can make that known to the parents what each project will cost for materials. You are welcome and invited to bring your own tools and projects. If you do not wish to do a project with a younger person that is fine, you are still welcome for all three days.

So far everyone who came last year has indicated they are coming and happy to work with the a young person. That said there may be one or two who cant make it but things change so we will see what happens

As usual the rest of the time will be a make up demonstrations and the regular banter. Bring your family too.

That places it a little over 400 km w / sw of the Jerilderie for those who came when it was there.

It is about 1/2 way between Adelaide and Melbourne on the northern edge of Horsham.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/17/55c252b7c97d7406dcccc9f98a28a0b1.jpg

Not for the faint hearted, the property is still a little rough when it comes to living quarters. I do hope to have some green grass this time round

There is a shed and will be at least 4 lathes on hand to use. The shed has changed from below.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/17/2e2315084ef279b7c3bead0820d96c27.jpg

For anyone who wants to rough it there is plenty of room for a swag, tent or caravan.

If you want to or can demonstrate anything over the event please let me know either on here or by PM

What will be

show and tell
Buy, swap, sell & give away
A yarn or three
Food, food and more food
Oppurtunity to use or learn on a lathe

Oldgreybeard may give some photograpgy and photoshop lessons
If Maureen comes she will likely bring her spinning wheel
Raechell will have her dolls and be happy to show anyone interested

Demo's and Lessons
Plans are to have a morning and afternoon demonstration each of the three days. This is seperate to crafting demo's which may appeal mainly to the women.
I hope to have the following same as last year in general terms though specifics may change
1) Production Turning
2) Finishing
3) Box making Incra Jig.
4) Thread Chasing

Open to other suggestions here above and below

In the crafting section
1) Pyrography
2) Painting (dolls making)
3) Hair Rooting (doll making)
4) Spinning Yarn


What to bring

Anything for the above
A chair
A wood working project/s to do or show off
Metal working as well if so inclined
Areo guard and a hat
Some of your work

Scrap Heap Challenge if anyone wants to have a go. Warning ... I did burn a lot so pile has shrunk to Raechell's delight.

There is a heap of fire wood and cut branches as well as sheet material & scrap metal etc. The challenge to make something from that heap. What ever is made must be minimum 90 % from that heap and the scrap metal heap.



Accommodation

links copied from last year, hopefully still work

Horsham will provide the greatest range and closest accommodation for those who do not wish to rough it. This is a wotif link but feel free to look up locations by other means
https://www.wotif.com/Hotel-Search#daysInFuture=0&stayLength=1&regionId=7742&destination=Horsham,+Victoria,+Australia


The house would be on offer but not sure where I will be with the Reno's

Any demos or workshops are more than welcome as would be a lesson on how to use a mill or metal lathe.

Please let us know your level of interest in attending.

Food Similar to last year

Thursday night there will be a BBQ for whoever is there was a pleasant evening last year I think we had close to a dozen.

Breakfast

Cereal
Toast
Bacon & Eggs
Baked beans

Lunch

Sandwiches
Rolls
Pies and Pasties
Hot Dogs

Tea

BBQ
Spaghetti Bolognaise

Drinks

Tea
Coffee
Water
Juice
Soft Drink
You are welcome to bring alchol, please drink in moderation and not if you will be using tools



There is a pub virtually next door for any who want to go and get a couner meal (at your own expense). Not encouraging a booze up but likely will be a drink or two in the evening for any who BYO

If you have special dietary needs you can bring your own or let me know and if I can I will accommodate.

If you want to bring anything to contribute to the supplies you are welcome to do so. As some are travelling some distance this is by no means expected.

Life has a way of throwing all sorts of challnges at us. If you cant afford to contribute finacially or with provisions dont be put off, come anyway.

For those who want to donate a few $$ there will be a tin or jar somewhere. I dont need to know who did or didn't donate or how much. Just come and have a good time.

So far I have never been much out of pocket thanks to the generosity of those who do choose to support the event. On the Friday with potentially many more vistors things will take more planning.

Looking forward to another great weekend .

Smoking, I am not a smoker but others are. As for previous years please be mindful of your butts. The big one here is with kids around can we be mindful to avoid smoking around them while we doing a project with them

Cool. Will Jules be bringing her spinning wheel?

I will ask her, Dave.

I will also see what I can come up with for something to do with the kids.

We will most likely spend the nights with our friends in Horsham as we have done in previous years, but if not we can drag a tent along.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

I wont be available to come to the GTG.

I’m was going to pm you but your box was full as I’m concerned for people teaching if they or you don’t have insurance and a child gets injured at your event.
Also have you or othersconsidered the working with children legislation in Victoria?
http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check (http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check/exemptions/)
not suggesting that I know everything so you would need to seek advice. The above suggested in the spirit of the forum and not trying to push the nanny state agenda as you put your and other kids first and foremost.
Any way hope it goes well
Paul

http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check (http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check/exemptions/)


If you look here: Do I need a Check? - Working With Children Check, Victoria (http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check/do+i+need+a+check)

The first question of the self assessment: In which capacity are you working with or caring for children*?

The answer in this case would be: I
n an unpaid private/domestic capacity*



* Arrangements or agreements that exist between family and friends.

This response returns the answer: You do not need a WWC Check.


Nobody is being paid and it is a private social gathering at which parents or guardians of the children will be present anyway.

Count me in too, hope to get there Thursday afternoon/night to help with doing what ever's required.

Will probably get the kids to do scroll sawing of Beetle games for themselves, pretty sure I've a few stacks left over.
How are you off for Pen Blanks???
Will you be holding a raffle or some such fund raising???
Kryn

[DaveTTC]

Thanks Paul. Appreciate your interest and your desire to look out for everyone.

My understanding is as stated ny Doug for working with children.

Insurance is increasingly becoming an issue. I wilk try and find out about the Victorian woodworkers insursnce or what ever it is called. I believe they insure younfor public liability and teaching upto 3 people at once. Personally I habe no such insurance but skme atrending may want to get some as should I.

G'Day Dave,
Not sure about this year, we have a grandchild due in early January which from all accounts will need a operation to correct a heart issue once born.
It would be great to see everyone again BUT family always comes first.

Does the home schooling come with any sort of insurance cover that might oversee this type of activity?

Reading your comments re insurance Dave, have you looked at "Working with Kids" certificate issued through Australia Post. Not sure if itis required, but I was told I need it if I want to run photography courses for kids and it could cost about $120 per 'teacher'. There are exemptions, but I don't know - have not really looked into it and don't know if the "Home school" activity is exempt or not.

I will have to talk to you after Christmas, not sure that we will be able to attend. Will know more after Paul gets back from Philippines in January.

Bob

PS. I had not seen Doug's earlier post, but from what I was told re photography classes, it may be worth checking as the forum members may not qualify as 'family or friends'.

Unfortunately, once a can of worms is opened the only way to re-can them is to use a much larger can.

Now that there is a permanent record that participants have discussed this, if anything adverse happens (fingers and toes crossed it doesn't) some clever lawyer will make it his mission to prove that any decision we made as a group or Dave made as an individual was wrong.

I am still of the belief that all that is happening here is that Dave is inviting several friends to his place for an Australia Day celebration. As at any similar gathering, it is normal that not all of the guests will know one-another before the event. As at any similar event, adults and kids alike will take part in organised and spontaneous activities, whether they knew each other prior to the event or not. Nobody is being employed or contracted to run any activity that may take place. People hold gatherings like this all the time without insurance and blue cards.

But having said that, now that the can of worms is open and documented, it might be wise for Dave to shoot off a couple of emails to the relevant authorities detailing the circumstances accurately and truthfully so that he can have documented proof that the questions have been asked and answered by those who should know. These emails and responses could prove useful in the event of a problem.

Disclaimer - I am not a lawyer, but I know enough to know that law and common sense are not synonymous. Better safe than sorry.

Cheers

Doug

Jerilderie Jaunt and Watcha Dooen at Dooen? This is my 5th anniversary and we are shaking things up a little bit.

Fri 26 Jan

To start off this year will be a tribute to our dearly departed Reploconics aka Trev or Trevor Jones. He may be gone but his spirit lives on!





Dave, I am happy to help with this as we discussed several month's ago. I am thinking of a slide show of our favourite "Trev's images". If you are happy to go with this could you and other members post details of your favourite images from the "Reploconics" thread in the Woodworking Photography sub-forum ( I would need at least the date that Trevor posted the image, post number and image number or similary to identify the image). I will download them and compile them into a slideshow. Similarly if anyone has a tribute that they would like included, please pass that on to me also.

If there are any other suggestions rather than a slideshow, please post them here for consideration - I suggest the final decision be left with Dave.

Driving in to Dooen and driving out of Dooen happen pretty well at the same time if you are travelling faster than 30kph.:D
This will be the 3rd GTG at Dave's Dooen abode, and everyone seemed to find it without any trouble, even if you do get to the pub, which seems to be the only business in town. The town's population will probably double during the GTG.
It will be great to meet up with Benny and Doug2 and any other first timers, it is a very relaxed and enjoyable day.

Hi Neil,

I'm still looking for that elusive nice piece of olive for a mortar and pestle. Something around 200mm diameter and at least 150 thick would be wonderful for the mortar, I would probably want something a bit bigger than 50x50x150 for the pestle though, if you finish up with a suitable piece, otherwise I can make do with 75x75 and I can cut a couple of pen blanks off of it as well (oops - did I say that out loud :oo:)

Cheers

Doug

Sorry to have to pull out due an unexpected death in the family. As the coroner is involved, the funeral is likely to be late next week.
Hope you all have an enjoyable few days.

The burl seems to be 4 trunks/burls connected by a crap load of tangled roots. I took my first slice today between two burls and it took 3 sharpens as I hit a heap of dirt pockets (black bits in photo). So I've ordered a TCT chain for my chainsaw and hope I can get it cut up in time but I'm not sure.

The bandsaw has been fitted with a new 1" TCT blade I ordered but I had to make up a new guide system as the one on the bandsaw was not adjustable and only suited a 10mm blade.

I've set-up the big bandsaw here with a 1" 1.3tpi TCT blade already. My TCT chainsaw chain turned up today so hopefully I can get back to blank cutting asap. Work and a bowl for my sister are getting in the way

If you're game to tackle some dirty wood I have an olive stump I'd love to see chopped up too

Hi guys and gals,
Good to hear that plans are progressing and the weather will be kind.

I had hoped to talk to people about my forthcoming education series on the photography forum - starts from the real basics and will cover subjects which would even be of interest to users of the latest smart phones (arrgh!! didn't think I would ever say that).

Anyhow it starts next month and details are here
A message from Bob - PhotoForums (http://photoforums.com.au/forum/photographic-help/tutorials/getting-to-know-your-camera/7838-a-message-from-bob)
Plenty of room for more starters.

Enjoy the weekend.
Bob

[Oldgreybeard]

Forgot to mention you will need to register again on the photoforum as it uses a different version of the vBulletin software - still part of the Ubeaut suite of forums though.

Bob

[DaveTTC]

Real photography with a phone .... cant wait.

I may need a reminder after the GTG

Can we hold it in Darwin instead? :rolleyes:

[DaveTTC]

I wish lol.

I'll have to do a gofund me thing and see if I can get a pool for future years.

My app says 39°, 42° & 42°

Lets hope it keeps dropping

It might be difficult to drag ourselves out of the air conditioning at our friends' place where we stay.

Anyway Dave, I plan to arrive sometime after lunch on the Thursday. Jools was going to travel with me but she has a new role at work and is very busy so she canceled her annual leave for Thursday and is heading up on the train and bus after work. I pick her up from the bus in Horsham around 10pm so she will be there Friday morning onwards as far as the GTG goes.
