    Default Watcha Dooen at Dooen - 27, 28 & 29 GTG 2017

    ​2017

    Jerilderie Jaunt was held at Dooen and was a real success. This time we are looking at 3 jam packed days
    Fri 27
    Sat 28
    Sun 29

    That places it a little over 400 km w / sw of the previous 2



    It is about 1/2 way between Adelaide and Melbourne on the northern edge of Horsham.



    Not for the faint hearted, this will be the second year at the property and well, lets say she may still be a little rough when it comes to living quarters. I do hope to have some green grass this time round

    There is a shed and will be at least 4 lathes on hand to use.



    For anyone who wants to rough it there is plenty of room for a swag, tent or caravan.

    If you want to or can demonstrate anything over the event please let me know either on here or by PM

    What will be

    show and tell
    Buy, swap, sell & give away
    A yarn or three
    Food, food and more food
    Oppurtunity to use or learn on a lathe
    Fire heap challenge
    Oldgreybeard may give some photograpgy and photoshop lessons
    Maureen is talking of bringing her spinning wheel
    Raechell will have her dolls and be happy to show anyone interested

    Demo's and Lessons
    Plans are to have a morning and afternoon demonstration each of the three days. This is seperate to crafting demo's which may appeal mainly to the women.
    I hope to have the following
    1) Production Turning
    2) Finishing
    3) Box making Incra Jig. Doug3030
    4) Thread Chasing

    Open to other suggestions here above and below

    In the crafting section
    1) Pyrography
    2) Painting (dolls making)
    3) Hair Rooting (doll making)
    4) Spinning Yarn

    There maybe some evening tutorials as well such as photography if we can get oldgreybeard to assist again


    What to bring

    Anything for the above
    A chair
    A wood working project/s to do or show off
    Metal working as well if so inclined
    Areo guard and a hat
    Some of your work

    Scrap Heap Challenge

    There is a heap of fire wood and cut branches as well as sheet material & scrap metal etc. The challenge to make something from that heap. What ever is made must be minimum 90 % from that heap and the scrap metal heap.

    Two prizes will be awarded

    1st place as judged by those in attendance
    1st place as judged by the forum (if I work out how to do a poll. Should 1st both be taken by the same piece then the forums choice award will go to second place. If Springwater makes it he will be allowed to enter the piece he started on last year)

    Any ideas or donations as to what the prizes may be are most welome.

    Accommodation

    Horsham will provide the greatest range and closest accommodation for those who do not wish to rough it. This is a wotif link but feel free to look up locations by other means
    https://www.wotif.com/Hotel-Search#d...ria,+Australia


    The house would be on offer but not sure where I will be with the Reno's

    Any demos or workshops are more than welcome as would be a lesson on how to use a mill or metal lathe.

    Please let us know your level of interest in attending.

    If you want to bring anything to contribute to the supplies you are welcome to do so. As some are travelling some distance this is by no means expected.

    Thanks Dave and Raechell for running this event this year.

    Jools and I are looking forward to the next one for sure and will try to get some leave time from work to be there for the whole weekend this time.

    As the time gets closer we can talk about what to bring along and how we can help out.

    Cheers

    Doug
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.
