Thanks Ray, including Fletty's Fine Edge Finessing Foundation Fantastic that's 3 weekends booked in the new year.
Fletty I have a T7 with many jigs that could be dusted off and brought along.

That would be fantastic if it's not too deeply buried?

I'm sure I can blunten many a blades between now and then.
Sounds like another great day in the country side.

I'll definitely be in that.
Arron

I'd like to come along and see how others keep blades sharp.

cheers,

Another chance to wander into the Tardis. Will I be able to turn around this time?

I can bring my CBN Torment and CBN A&A grinder. Both are primarily set up for Turning Tools, but I can always learn how to use the flat work jigs, that I have

Thanks Pat,
You set me thinking! The forum royalty who have actually been IN the tardis are yourself, Banksiaman, Groeneaj, Orangevegiegirl and Mr and Mrs Wheelin although NCArcher once got into the same post code. I remember when you thought you had to go outside to change your mind but, this time, you will be surprised!
Your offer of CBN is gratefully received and l am sure that many will be as interested in sharpening turning tools as flat irons!
lm not sure how to chose a date but l figure l'll choose a date early March that doesn't clash with Easter, the Royal Easter Show, sporting events nor pagan festivals and make it happen?
Does anyone have a Worksharp 3000 and could be seduced by sausage sandwiches and congenial company?

Hi , have a worksharp ,
And given enough time may ,may come up the road from Melbourne for the weekend .
There seems to be quite a few interested and I for one would like to try out a few different approach. Think the idea is really very good.
