Trendy weekend
Great day today at Trend Timbers they are sponsors to a number of groups including the OTGA. We have 5 Rose Engines working flat out all day, the oval turning lathe, index jig and miniature lathe.
It was good to see some forum members come in for a visit Mr Brush is looking at joining the lathe owners, NzCarver, Sawdustmaker who walked away with wood tools and books.
Shock of the day was when Andrew from Trend cut up a piece of almost black Queen ebony for a fellow 25mm x 25mm x 140 $35
The chips were flying from one of our newest members just a few of his pieces.

Good to see plenty of activety from OT members. Wish I could have been there as it looks like it was a fun day. I will be in Sydney for a few days at the end of the month but running on a tight schedule so probably will not have time to catch up with you guys.
Cheers

It was great to see you and Sue yesterday
not sure I got any tools but was looking seriously at some hollowing equipment - just because I might have wanted to use it one day. But decided I'll get it then.
It's interesting that Trend drop the members discount on open days
I didn't see that piece of queen eboony otherwise I might have bid on it. Must have been a particularly nice piece.
wait a minute didn't someone give me a piece of that about twice as long for nothing at the Syd ww showregards

Last day over and done by lunch time. Very quite compared to Friday and Saturday, maybe all went tool hunting instead.
Nice to see I_wanna_shed and the lovely better half today.
A trip into Windsor for lunch and a book shopping spree all Woodworking books except 2 they were metal working.

I'll start by saying the new Trend warehouse/showroom is impressive! A LOT easier to walk through and hunt for timber in. I picked up around 9m of New Guinea Rosewood for a project coming up. Some Tiger Myrtle turning blanks and a small piece of African Wenge (is it a poor man's queen ebony?).
Caught up with Ray and Sue which was good. Ray had the look of spending money in his eyes.
I was is in a big rush as I was late to a mate's place to help him move (which was good, as it meant I already had the trailer on the car ), so I didn't get a chance to have a good look at the ornamental turners, but what I saw looked good. Ingenuity in that bunch for sure.
Cheers,
Nathan.

Trendy weekend for sure Ray.
I could get into that fancy turning myself.
I love some of those bowls.
The indexing is spot on by the looks.
You cant tell I know nothing about this ornamental turning,can you?
Looks like you were a busy guy.Back To Car Building & All The Sawdust.
