Thread: Triton Club members

The first and still going strong.
Renewed my membership for next year at last night's meeting.
Happy tritoning

Triton Owners Club Northern Districts (S.A.) Inc now the Woodworkers Shed Northern Districts (S.A.) Inc.

This Club is now in it's twelfth year. Many of our members still have Triton equipment but we wanted to open our membership further. So a few months ago we changed the name and joined the Men's Shed Association.

If anyone in Adelaide is interested, just send me a PM and I will send you the details.

Cheers
Vicki

I have never been a member of a Triton club but I feel that I should mention that I have recently regained a love of using my old Mk3 Triton simply because ...... wait for it.....






I have added a featherboard...


...and a home made one at that!


What has really made this work so well is that I use a couple of magswitches to very quickly secure the featherboard to the table. The speed of doing that means that my ancient Triton with its ancient screaming Ryobi saw still does the job for me when I need to rip something. (A 12" Makita SCMS does my cross cuts these days.)

The featherboard makes every operation safer, quicker, more accurate and a lot easier to use push sticks with. Shoulda done it long before now.


I reckon that there will be a lot of life left in a lot of old Tritons sitting under people houses unused. My 91 year old ex boss has one that will never get used again by he or his family. I imagine that these old Tritons could well find their way to new use through Triton user groups.

A few clubs still exist in one form or another and quite a few went on to become thriving Mens Sheds. We reently needed a premises to run staff training in Sydney and we used the premises of the Hills District Mens Shed (formerly Triton Club) and their premises were staggering....and the welcome typical of the people involved.



You did??

As a member of the Hills Men's Shed i somehow missed this entirely. I never new that the Shed that I have been part of since its inception some 3 years ago was formerly a Triton club. We do have a MK3 Triton that was donated to us. It is not in very good condition and rarely gets used. Whilst the building is adequate I cannot see it as staggering. It was a derelict scout hall that we re roofed, re built and re painted.

it was Hornsby Woodworking Mens Shed.

Sorry!....It was Hornsby. Great place and a credit to all involved.

Must improve my geography of Sydney.

As long as the Hornsby shed gets all the credit.

It is a really good shed.

Hi Endgrain,

There are still two Triton Clubs operating in Perth:

• Northern Metropolitan Triton Owners Club, meeting in the Greenwood High School on the First Monday of the Month at 7:00pm, and,
• Southern Districts Triton Owner's Club, Meeting at the WA Wood Turner's Shed in Wandi every fourth Thursday in the Month.

Please drop in when you are over here next. We would love to see you.

Shame that the only place that the Triton clubs appear on is this website I would have thought that they would have at-least a Facebook page lol

When my health improves in the next few months I will look at joining

Regards,

Kat.
