    Talking Toowoomba Gathering

    Had the great privilige today of being able to catch with dan_tom and andy mac today at the Highfields Blacksmith Challenge followed by lunch at andy mac's place. It was great to meet dan_tom from brissy though it was unfortunate that Ruflyrustic wasn't able to join us due to illness (maybe next time ruffly!). Anyway thought that I would post a pic of the four of us in andy mac's shed just before we departed after lunck.

    From L to R Tom, Danielle (dan_tom, yes it is two people), Andy_mac and Lastly myself Wood Butcher.

    Would love to have another get together in the near future and hopefully we might be able to get a day when more people can come and the weather is better ( not that I am not enjoying the rain)

    Yours

    Rowan
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    Dam it, I missed it :mad: . I must keep a closer eye on woodies events/anouncements.

    Next time perhaps.

    Must admit this one was organised mainly through pm's and email. Also Andy, Ruffly and I get together for lunch once a week and most of today was organised then. I will let everyone know when we start thinking about another gathering so that we could have more woodies attend.

    Thanks 'Butcher,
    It was indeed good meeting up with fellow Forum members, which is a bonus. Not only do we get to share experiences and advice on-line, but also meet real people with similar interests!!
    Our meeting this time was rushed, based as it was around the blacksmithing festival, but time enough for 'Butcher and I to look through Dan & Tom's album of excellent woodwork. Inspirational stuff

    Cheers,
    Andy Mac

    Thanks for the great hospitality Andy and Julie! It was terrific to meet both Andy (Andy-Mac) and Rowan (Woodbutcher) and their families. I must admit after talking timber and having a tour of Andy's workshed, I was pretty keen to get home and start woodworking, but alas I am at work today having a quick peek online to see if anyone has done any amazing woodwork from the weekend! Andy's got a great shed and beautiful surrounds - the blacksmith festival was well worth a weekend in Toowoomba.

    If you've ever in Brisbane (around Holland Park way)... drop in!

    Thanks again.

    Cheers
    Dan and Tom
