    Default Start thinking about it

    I plan to hold a get together in the next few months up here in Tolmie (North East Victoria).

    It will be a whole weekend event. We have some accomodation and tons of room for tents, caravans and campervans.

    I'm not a turner but welcome anyone wanting to bring a lathe or two.

    If anyone wanted to bring a portable mill, that too would be made welcome.

    I have a reasonably sized shed (9X12) equipped for cabinet type work including a few hand tools.

    At our place you can run noisier machines like routers, spindle moulders or thicknessers 24 hours a day without even disturbing anyone in the house 80 metres away.

    Anyone interested in coming or do you have any ideas or suggestions?

    Someone suggested having a group relay construction project - see what we can make and complete in a weekend?

    I realise that it is a fair distance for some people to come so I am getting in early with the planning and preparation.

    BTW there are a few tourist things to see up here apart from the woodwork.

    Is this going to be an official shed-warming?

    Sure will be.

    Getting to our place is quite simple, there is a bus service between Melbourne and Mansfield for those unable to drive. We can pick you up in town.

    At your joint in the snow season Rob ???

    I'll think about it, maybe I can remember where that feral Black Walnut tree is out in the bush.

    I'll put a hand up to come, most likely just the Saurday. But if it falls on the time when SWMBO is away at her folks, then the whole weekend.

    A shed-warming ...

    I wonder if I'll be allowed to spend the weekend with a whole bunch of blokes I met on the internet. Will have to see if I can swing it.

    Dunno, we're a bunch of very ugly blokes who look nothing like our avitars. You could be disappointed, at least hubby won't have to worry.

    TL, I imagine that for an overnighter there might be one or two who'd have spouses in tow.

    Sounds like fun Rob. Maybe there is something that could be built for the bushfire areas?

    I can tell anyone here its a lovely area, good hosts, and there is a really old fashioned pub in the village. The type where if you are wearing your holster and colt 45 it would not be out of place.

    We do have firewood and plenty of hand tools to get some sweat up.

    The local pub is one of the warmest and friendliest places you could visit.

    Not too many places you can still leave your change on the bar without fear of it going walkabouts.

    Holsters and colts indeed

    You are welcome to bring your spouse TL - if he's not into woodwork we'll find something for him to do.

    Send him and Small-Boy off walking or something. And I'm sure he can practice holding a tinny while standing round a fire. (Maybe a red cordial for SB. )
