Thread: Plane Making Workshop at DJ's Timber

I've got throwaway plates, cutlery & cups here plus coffee, tea already, so that part is taken care of

Skew and I will be there. I'm coming for a poke and prod, won't be making any planes, I might be making noise and shaving on Dj's r/table if I can pull my finger out quick enough. (would that Saturday suit Dj? - I'll discuss further with PMs).

I'll post back with what I can bring when I get a spare moment.

Skew don't know what he'll be up to, I'll leave that for him to answer.

Just bumping this up, and to see who is coming along. The plane making workshop is on this Saturday the 2nd.

VB optional.

I'll bring a few chisels (just an irwan set) a few files, a few drill bits.

Count me in not sure what i would like to make but can turn meat on a barbbie really well

I would love to come along on saturday should be much of drive for me being a local
were to go to and what can i bring to help out

My impression is that no one will be building a plane on the day. Is this correct?

I was thinking of a 9:00 am start or shortly there after.

Ian, Stuart and Simon_b just confirmed that they will not be coming to the BBQ.

Day crept up on me too fast - hope you guys have a good day of it.

I'll have a go at doing a traditional 1 Piece plane if I get the time to true up a chunk of Ironwood. Its going to be a bit longer than the HNT Gordon block plane. I'll use the 100x40x4 D2 blade.
I haven't made my floats yet so good old chisel and files for this one.
I hope others are going to have ago too.
I'll bring a few of the others I've made using the brass abutments for others to have a go with.

I'll try to get hold of a decent junk of something tomorrow for another jointer and make some progress on it on Saturday.

9AM start! What bloody time does that mean I have to pick you up? Crikey, I'd better make it an early night tomorrow eh?

So how many am I making burger for?

Dave.
