    Tony, can we ask people to turn up between 10.00 to 11.00? Just to sure that everyone is there at the same time.

    I'm not sure there will be enough toilets. Better not drink any water before you come

    That is amazing Pat. I just sent you a PM about it. You want a Skil router?

    This is REALLY REALLYscarey ....
    I was born a few doors up the hill, lived there until I was twenty something and, if I've got the right building, it was built as a work centre for people with intellectual challenges ... we should all fit in quite well!

    I'll be there,

    You don't need a grinder for those scrapers. A mill file and a stone along with a decent vice and some thing to burnish them with.

    I find a kitchen knife steel ideal for burnishing scrapers

    Ok, I have cut the blanks of Blackwood. 3 are for sale/swap. I also will be taking other turning blanks, 2 Huon carving blanks, 2 Micrometers and other small stuff for the metal heads.

    + Wongo's Huon and Blackwood slabs
    + Ray's Blackwood blank
    + Softdrink and water for myself. Better get some food too

    No intention of making money, just want to cover the price of the blackwood and a new chain for my chain saw. Otherwise I'm there to talk carp about woodwork . . .
    If you see a big boofhead and a taller ugly looking dude wandering around lost, it'll be me and Wongo.
