It'll be a while before Calm's event so I was wondering about hosting a turning day here at Reservoir Sat. 31 Jan or Sun. 1 Feb.

Maybe get a lump spinning on the Stubby that folk could have a go at; not to mention the usual yarning sessions, barbie and choc ripple cake :D

The weekend after would be fine too.

Post if you're interested in coming and we'll sort the dates afterwards.

In CNC parlance CRC stands for Cutter Radius Compensation, is that what you're going to ask about :rolleyes:?

Cyclic Redundancy Check? Isn't that what happens when you have two bikes in the garage and only one license in the house, Ern? :p

:hmm: I'm not sure. The Monday after that is first day of school. Somehow It seems wrong. :- And the next Saturday is a market day, and the next weekend is I think another pottery expo. (This time in Warrandyte.) You might have to survive without me.:C

Cliff, we could hire an ice-breaker and have a Southern hemisphere equivalent of the Scandinavian boat turning tour.

TL, you sound befuddled. You been affected by volatile glazes?

Ministers of War: well, the major one is just about to retire to Texas, so generals will just have to charge forward. Wherever that is.

Would love to but I am in charge of a bucks shindig on the 31st, which means the 1st is out too... :q

Have fun though :D

Don't be scared of first day at school Tea Lady, I'm sure there will be someone there to hold your hand one your family drops you off.

Mind you, if you're a teacher rather than a student, be afraid, be very afraid. My wife's a teacher and you should see what it's done to her (and no smart arsed remarks blaming me please).

Hubby may be in Adelaide till that weekend. Will have to wait and see. Could drop the kid off at M&D's. :rolleyes:

I would be interested on either weekend. Haven't attended one of these before. the company over awes me a bit to be honest. But I really need to see someone using a skew well, so I can then go home and cut more spirals.

Ern, if the event is on 31 Jan-1 Feb, then I'm in.

Aside from that redgum, anything else to bring?
