Thread: Expression's of interest - OWE

Hmmm count me in, but it depends on the date as I am away for a couple of weeks after Christmas. Considering Rockers suggestion I don't spose I should tell ya's what my trade background is then eh.... Mwahahaha!! Damnit you probably already know anyway..... :eek:

G''day Shane,

I thought you were a sparky

Nope. Currently I am a National New Store Manager for an aust retail company but in a previous time of my life I was a furniture finisher (my piece of paper calls me a french polisher though, but thats not technically correct), hence why I moderate the 'Finishing' forum.

Excellent stuff!!!

You can do the spray demo then!!!

Let us know when you firm up some dates Major. I have a truck load of FF points to burn and was trying to think of an excuse to go East sometime.

Cheers

I'd love to attend what is sounding like a master class, unfortunately I'm about 1000 klicks away

How about a photo record for us people unable to attend, ala Bob Smalser?

Or a movie

Like squizz says, "firm up some dates Major. I have a truck load of FF points to burn'' 'cos I have some FF points up my sleeve too. on top of that, my kids, (if you can call 22,20, & 19 kids) live in Brissy & I haven't seen them for 7 months.
On top of that, I have a new bourn interest in spraying liquor ( & lacquer)
Can I bring my gun too?? Huh, can I? Huh? Huh? can I?

Now I'm gunna help ya pick a date or I’ll have less chance of being there.
1. not the first week in Jan &
2. not the last week in Jan.

Now if you add in wot Shane said, I think you should aim for the weekends of either 15-16 Jan or 22-23 Jan & I like 15-16 better BUT, that may not suit Shane.

Whatever date it is, I'm interested, but I have a man away on hols about the same time Shane is & the Minister for Domestic Affairs & Finance is a school teacher & she starts work again on the last week in Jan & I have a MUCH better chance of getting to Brissy if she comes too. (shoe shopping )

Even though I'm a tidy house guest (won't mention the appetite or thirst ) I have a place or 2 to stay while I'm in Bris, wot side of town? I have relo's in Parkinson (Algester in old money) & Samford.

These OWE ideas are not bad, if anyone is so inclined that they'd travel to F'nFNQ (short for 'a long way up the East Coast) I'd have a weekend workshop at my place. (The fridge works, biggest beer fridge you ever saw, 2 door Oxford set at 4 degrees ) Not sure what we'd work on though, I suppose we could mow the lawn.... (5 acres )

Major,

I'll be there with bell's on....(and for most people that's not a good look!)

I've got a truckload of FF points to burn too! (But I think I'll borrow the girlie's car and drive)

Any time after 12th Jan, but not the 19th March! (another wedding! )

I'll wrap the pencil Sharpener for the door prize!

Cheers,

P

Would I ever love to get to this OWE. But it's a hike from SW WA. Can someone take notes and do a LONG post? Or how about a traveling workshop? All the "amateur" woodworking guys I know over here have horror stories about problems with lacquer spraying. I would pay money to attend a seminar on spray finishing.

Hang on a sec guys, this is getting out of hand...Next I will have too get Midge to be my manager and then Rocker & Major will be up for renumeration as well....But hang on, we could rival the likes of This Old House & New Yankee Workshop.....We could conquer the woodworking TV show world!!!!!!!!!!!! Mwahahahaha!!!! :eek:

On a more serious note, Pancakes are really meant to be eaten............whoops wrong thread....
