Sunday Round Table Jabber - Sunday evening all welcome

[Aussiephil]

Hi all,

With some members having less time on a Friday to catch up for the Friday Prattle https://www.woodworkforums.com/f303/friday-lunch-prattle-234530 at lunchtimes it was thought to be a good idea to kick off a Sunday catchup as well.

So for the Sunday catchup we will be trying out the Skype Meet Now option. It has similar functionality to zoom but has now time limit so if people want to jabber on they can but the primary time will be 7:30PM to 8:30PM NSW/ACT/Vic/Tas time, QLD will be an hour earlier for a few more weeks with SA 30minutes earlier and WA 2hrs/3hrs

We know that these times won't suit all but it seems a reasonable compromise.

Simplicity (Matt) has put his hand up to be the general custodian for the Sunday Round Table Jabber .... thanks Matt

So how do I join in? Glad you asked.....

Meeting link : https://join.skype.com/u73k1kv4B1UL (you can join as a guest)

Clicking on the link will take you to a webpage that will ask if you want to open in Skype, you can do that or just cancel and join as a Guest direct from the web page.
depending on your browser setting you should get a pop up asking to use your mic and speakers, please allow.
Then click join meeting and be patient as it seems to take a few seconds... feels like forever

Time 7:30PM NSW time to 8:30

Over to Matt for this week's topic

Cheers
Phil

Well at least a browser :) the lack of a time limit is either a major benefit worth the pain or the worst decision ever made :)

Thanks Phil,
And thanks also for taking the time to set this all up two thumbs up.

As Phil mentioned ,this is basically the same as the Friday Prattle,
Except you can talk as long as you want, well actually there is a 24 hour time limit, but[emoji6].

The other thing we “may” if people’ want, is have participants hop on the virtual Soap box, and give us a talk on your specialty subject (loosely involved around wood work ,sort of please ).

Ie, Phil said he may give one on 3D printing,
I may give one on how to overly complicate a project, I’m actually getting very good at that.

Paige could give one on saws with motors attached.
I think you get the idea.

So yes basically that is it, I will only be considering my self in the role as Custodian very loosely, this is for everyone.
And thanks again Phil[emoji120][emoji120].

Cheers Matt.
Ps I’m very, very ,very new to Skype too, to the point that Phil and I were having issues with Skype not sinking with a certain sensor light last night.[emoji6]

SundayRound table Jabber.

Is on tonight at 7.30 pm, all welcome.

Cheers Matt.

[doug3030]

I think we can call the first night a success.

I got on early around 7:10 to see if I could work out Skype and found Yvan and Pagie just finishing up a chat they had been on for half an hour.

They both left and Matt came on about 7:20. we chatted for a while and Phil joined us.

The main topic for the night was a very informative and informal impromptu presentation by Phil on making a bellmouth housing on his 3D printer.

We wound up at about 8:40.

Looking forward to next week.

[Colin62]

I’m hoping to be able to join one of these weeks - the time zones work better than the Friday one. Just had guests around this weekend so wasn’t able to sign in.

I'd gone out with the mrs about 7pm to get milk and some healthy dinner called Kingsleys .... the wait at the closest one was diabolical so a quick 5 minutes down the road the other one wasn't so busy but only got me back in the house by 7:35, chips on the plate and checked in with Matt and Doug, sorry to have missed Pagie and Yvan... wanted to know if Pagie caught some fish.

I did give an impromptu session on using Fusion 360 to design a simple bellmouth air intake and then exporting it to the 3D printer slicing software along with showing the print animation of how it would print, some interesting discussion took place on the potential efficiency of the design.

What was surprising was just how fast the time went.

The only technical hiccup seemed to be that grid view of people wasn't working via google chrome web browser but seemed fine on the widows skype client, no issues with audio. We might try Edge next week and test it out.

In fact, I think I've lost it!!!

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far, last night was the first an lots more to come,

Metal is just very hard timber!!
Bevel up or bevel down planes?

Veneering is just grown up cut and pasting.
Should I sand till 320 grit or 5000 grit before applying Boiled Linseed oil.
French polishing is so old fashioned, literally.
If you don’t have a chainsaw your not really a woodworker.
Will I have any comrades on the Forum in 24 hours time.
Hand tools rule over power tools.
Power tools rule.
Should all wood work machines be variable speed.
Dust extraction just sucks
Huon pine is for chimps.

Cheers Matt.

Ok since your on the way out of the country i'll pinch one or more for quick prattle topics on a Friday :)

Maybe you could add in "is 4 inches big enough or do you need 6 inches?"

Maybe i'll need to leave as well :)

Just a friendly reminder for Sunday round table jabber thingy.

All welcome, BYO drinks Alcoholic or non alcoholic your choice.


Start time 7.30 pm ish.

I won’t suggest a Theme this Sunday, reason being I will be sitting in a hotel in Naracoorte SA Sunday evening hopefully there will be decent reception [emoji6](attending a Funeral Monday).

But saying that if anyone wants to jump up an host the evening, go for it.
There is a list of suggestions above, or you may have your own,

Cheers Matt.

I am looking forward to my first visit on the Sunday Round Table Jabber. Unfortunately it won't be this week because of my shifts. Also I am frantically altering the shape of my office table so it will conform to the requirements.

Be sure to post some details of the meeting as I will look in later on during the night to see how things went.

We are also looking forward to your very first visit Paul, would you like some Red Carpet rolled out, or something more devious?.
Would you like to hold court that evening?

Cheers Matt.

Seeming to be very quiet tonight, I've definitely arrived to find all my mates :) :(

[Simplicity]

Well it seems tonight’s Round table started quietly,but by the time I arrived there was two, then three of us plus, one who just stuck is head in had a look around, an will hopefully be back next Sunday.

Tonight was just a few pleasant small chitchats.
Thanks to everyone who joined in.

Cheers Matt.

[Aussiephil]

it was very quiet for a bit then Doug joined in and we ended up speaking about Anvils and I learnt that they are more varied than just a bit of heavy metal you bang things on... time to read some more then we had a few more join in as Matt said. Picko dropped in without mic or camera and just listened to the jabber, hope we didn't scare you away :)

Have a great week everyone and best wishes to the rain affected areas and members.

Cheers
Phil

[Simplicity]

Sunday Round table jabber,

Is on again, yep is it just me or do the weeks feel like they are getting shorter.


This week’s topic, Hand tool storage, do you store your Hand tools on your bench in complete shambles,are they meticulous stored in purpose build drawers,are you a nail in the wall individual, or my personal favourite at present Peg board.

All welcome, start time is a strict 7.30 ish give or take a bit either side up too you.

Please beware these chit chats have a way of being very relaxing nice and not always sticking to the subject matter.
An is a BYO event we are not licensed yet but I’m working on it !!!

Cheers Matt.

[Bushmiller]

I am hoping to be there, but will be late to the party as I won't be home until just after 7pm (8pm NSW time).

Another delightful evening spent learning the virtues of what equates to a modern 2021 workshop.

We had numbers running from 1 being the number after 0 too 6 being 1 times 6 at the peak, with some chat and banter on, you guessed it power saws mainly the ones that run with either two strokes or four(Keep it clean [emoji854]).
Studdly was mentioned and Phil had is five minutes on a non 3D printed soap box.

So all in all a very enjoyable hour or so,Doug stop pushing buttons please [emoji6].

Cheers Matt.

[justonething]

Apologies
I tried to be there, but couldn't hear you guys after I tried to speak.
will try again another week
glad you were having fun.

[Bushmiller]

I lost visual, but still had audio. When I mentioned this to SWMBO she suggested I had turned of the camera. Possible, but not intentional. Perhaps JOT you did the same with the audio.

and the meeting participants will love this....... for context the soapy box was about not really needing a hand plane...

here was me tonight, unclamping the partially glued up new mailbox and then grabbing a 1" chisel, actually even sharp, and using it as a makeshift device to plane a couple of the joints.... D'oh

[Simplicity]

I think Phil, is starting to feel the pull(well push acutely, tho it could be pull if he’s go Japaneseiy) of the dark side, resistance is futile🥸.

Cheers Matt.

This Sunday is that time of the week, were some of us, swear at computers and iPhones, and wish for a simpler life.

Yes folks at 7.30pm this coming Sunday(4 of April 7.30 pm)evening,it is swear at Skype time.
How very exciting [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji41]🥸.

I’m let to believe some clocks need adjusting in Australian sometime this weekend, I won’t advise on this, due to not knowing what I’m talking about.

All welcome, tho ,you really should keep the naughty words to yourself , as some members may be offended by the naughty words.


BUT ALL WELCOME


I’m working on a suggested topic to loosely follow this week, and I will announce that approximately 7 and half minutes before we start on Sunday, that way insuring we have a lively discussion.
Tho ,all suggestions are welcome prior of course.


Cheers Matt.

I got to log in a little late, but there was nobody there when I did. I left the app running while I was posting on the Forum. I heard a noise and Pagie was there, but there was also background noise and I could not hear him, although I could see he was speaking. I don't know if he was having the same trouble as me.

Not to worry: There will be another day.

3D printed Bow Saw

Bow Sander by camvo - Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3117781)

[Bushmiller]

Once I realised you had returned from daylight saving I was there!

This is the McFarlane bow sander.

MacFarlane Bowsander - Dunstone Design (https://www.dunstonedesign.com.au/product/macfarlane-bowsander/)

It was designed primarily for the curved components of chairs so it works very well on saw handles for example (and plane handles), It allows you to place the work in a vice and use both hands for operating the sander.

I will liaise with Phil.

Another Sunday Jabber done, for those concerned, chainsaws were spoken about on no less then tree occasions.
But we did also attempt to stick to the proposed topic of Hand tools, even if some participants “new”hand tools were missing bits.
Also thank you Julies for once again being the overseer,[emoji6]

An announcement!!!!!!!

Paul AKA Bushmillar after much prodding, threads of fingers severed, an his wife being told the full worth of his massive Simions saw collection.

Sunday round Jabber,

Is on once again this Sunday, we seem to be getting a consistent group turning up, which is quite nice an cozy.
But we are also open to receiving some fresh meat, sorry mean other members.
So don’t be shy, we are all mostly harmless middle aged slightly opinionated, occasionally, but very friendly and mostly harmless.
An easily distracted by mostly anything, so I hope I’m painting a positive picture.

I’m feeling slightly under the weather(No didn’t get drunk).
So I will leave it up to you guys to post a Topic suggestion for Sunday’s Jabber(18 of April 7.30 EST)

Note point Paul(you know who you are)just have a family member read this so your ready at 7.30 ish.[emoji6]

Sorry i missed last Sunday but was exhausted after a couple of days of working on the main bathroom fixing the shower, basic re-grout and reseal it all.

Going back two weeks though and the bow-saw sander I got some spare time on the 3D printer
493365
493366493367

The wood is a little bit narrow but it was all i found that was close in thickness in the scrap pile tonight, to cold to actually think about machining a proper piece up

Well it actually works, no sign of flex in the printed handles, the wedge seems solid enough.

Couple of design changes will make it better though.
- make the insert slot for the sand paper deeper (ie longer)
- make the wedge both thicker and longer so it can be grabbed from the edges.
- round the handle some more to make a more ergonomic grip
- and for adaptability to different wood bows, make the hole larger but then do inserts for thinner or narrower bits of timber.

anyway it does work :)

[Simplicity]

Phil,
That’s very impressive,what are the dimensions on that?

Cheers Matt.

[Bushmiller]

Phil

That's amazing. If it were wood coloured I wouldn't know it wasn't an original. I like the idea of the wedges protruding to get a better grip for removal provided they don't get in the way when holding the sander. Do you know what the timber was for the stretcher? I note it just came out of the scrap pile.

Regards
Paul

[Aussiephil]

Phil,
That’s very impressive,what are the dimensions on that?

Cheers Matt.

The handles are 100mm high x 30mm wide and 35mm deep, minus the curved bits

The distance between them is obviously set by the timber in this case it's @ 400mm in length

For a small version i'd use something like i originally linked from thingiverse.

Cheers
Phil

i've never tried to print with the wood filament :) and honestly the natural coloured filament was loaded.. The timber literally was a strip off one of the 19mm thick hardwood floorboards hence why it's only 19mm wide :) exactly what species of gum it is/was i have no idea.... damn hand tools... i like this and i'll make a proper width section of wood over the weekend.

The wedges just need a couple mm each side, should never notice in use but will make it easier to handle putting in

Best wishes for your unwell family member Matt.

I am not certain if I will be there this evening either

I too have a couple of health issues, with my back and other parts badly inflamed and painful. I have been running out of steam early in the evening as my body demands rest to assist with recovery.

Lifting this new acquisition into and out of my trailer probably has not helped much either but for $250 for a 50-year-old 18" Woodfast with newly replaced bearings and blade guides was just too good to not take.

[Pagie]

Well, what is the topic for tonight? Wood?

[Pagie]

Well, what is the topic for tonight? Wood? Free wood? Bought wood? Found wood?

Yes, I had a one-on-one with Paul and a one-on-none with Pagie. Not sure what happened with Pagie. I could see him and hear him. He was watching New Amsterdam on TV or computer and either he couldn't see me or didn't want to. I did seem to have some issues with video so it was probably not Pagie's fault.

[Pagie]

The wife was watching New Amsterdam in another room, not me. I couldn't get a proper connection with Doug. I will try next week and see if it works better.

I shared this picture of a little pair of knitting needles I made a while ago in the chat last night. I think from memory they were 22 inches long.

I have never made a whole crochet hook but I have repaired quite a few. As I shared in the chat last night too, Jools used to have a dozen or so friends who used to come around for craft sessions once a month. One day one of them turned up with a crochet hook that had broken and was held together with a paddle pop stick and sticky tape and she was struggling with it. I took it out to the shed and replaced the plastic handle with an offcut of hairy oak all turned up on the lathe and a little flat bit for her thumb to register on. She had it back in half an hour and loved it. At the following month's session they all turned up with a broken crochet hook each. :doh:

We discussed the subject of European hand saws and why we don't see many. I think part of the answer is that they didn't make many preferring the frame saw instead. Peugeot did make tools and saws (as well as cars). They commenced in 1810. These are a couple of extracts from a 1938 catalogue:

494708494709

Interestingly some of the blades are quite wide. Conjecture has been that it might not be possible to get sufficient tension with a cord.

I also misled you when I referred to H.Boker as being German. They were an American company. Possibly German origins.

Really interesting, Paul.

If you look at the Tage Frid videos you will see that he uses a broad blade (25 - 30 mm ??) when cutting straight lines and a narrow bladed (0.25 inches ??) bow saw when cutting curves. No idea if this relates to the tension in the string or inherent that the broaderer blade was stiffer. Like all of us, he used what worked for him.

One thing that intrigues me is the geographical distribution of saw types, including:

Continental Europe tended to prefer the bow saw configuration,
Anglo world (*) tended to prefer the hand held panel saw, and
Japan preferred Japanes saws.

(* Anglo world = UK, USA, Canada, Australian New Zealand, etc)

I will be involved with a video conference with my Veterans' knife making group this evening.

I was meant to be there in person this weekend helping to run a course but Covid got in the way.

The timing for that conference is flexible and depends upon when the knives are finished and the course ends.

If the new guys pick it up quickly they might finish up early and I might be able to make the the entire jabber.

Otherwise I might not make it at all, or just drop in for a quick visit. It is what it is.

If I'm not there by 7.30 feel free to start without me. Either way enjoy yourselves.

[DaveVman]

I need to get in on this. I just never remember that it is actually on. I'm already in front of the TV trying not think at all by then. Which I find is the natural outcome of watching TV but I digress.

Things are progressing well in our shed today so I should be in a position to come in by 7:30.

We will probably have some takeaway fish and chips for dinner because we will both have had enough of standing up at the benches today before it gets to cooking time.

See everyone there.
