Never mind the gidgee - the grain orientation is not right and there is a fair bit of checking in it, so it goes back in the timber vault awaiting its turn to shine on another project.
I also dressed up the African Walnut while I had the thicknesser out for the gidgee

The saw plate is all ordered and should arrive in 2-3 weeks!
I have located some She-Oak which should be suitable and I will endeavour to get a board resawn & thicknessed to make sure it is going to work for us. Is the majority happy with She-Oak??
The timber will come in short or longer lengths depending on how many totes you want out of the board so you can get a matching set if buying additional kits. Again you will have to nominate when enrolling.
I have a few options now for the venue, the weekend has been set and the workshop will take place on either the 9th or 10th Nov. Dependant on the venue we settle on.
We are gearing up to make the brass backs and saw nuts.
We have sourced some saw files and will be getting some needle files also, again will need people to nominate their preference for tpi.
Looks like things are starting to fall into place.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Sheoak works for me.
I would probably build a carcase saw (rip) and get a dovetail saw and another carcase saw (cross cut) as a take aways.
Forgive me if I've missed it. Are we able to officially register yet, or is that still in the works?If you find you have dug yourself a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
I just finished child-proofing our house - but they still get inside.

The only thing really up in the air is which venue and if it will be on the Sat 9th or Sun 10th…….I was trying to get the Sat so people especially interstaters can go the Melb tools Sale on the Sun morning before heading home.
So far I have two options for the Sunday and waiting to hear back for the Sat venue.
For those of you who are not fussed which day it is I guess I could start taking enrolments as it will be a first in, first served basis with limited places. Places are only secured when payment is received. My hesitation here would be that this may disadvantage some interstate people.
I also want to state it will be a non refundable senario as materials will be cut to your spec. However it is fully transferrable if you can't make it and want to on sell your place and materials on to a friend judging by the responses it shouldn't be difficult to transfer and I will assist in anyway I can. Alternatively if you have paid and can't make it we can post out your kit to you for you to work on at home.
Another reason for this is it looks like we will be turning a few people away due to numbers and this seems the fairest way to assure the people get the best opportunity to attend.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

This is the best weekend for me, I couldn't have attended if it was the other weekend; great news.
I'm in, however shortly we will be heading off and out of web contact (mainly) for the following month or so, if a payment situation can be arranged within the next two weeks it would make life easier for myself.
Direct transfer would be easiest, I assume? Getting a money order isn't a problem either, gave up cheques when I retired and we sold the business.
With regard to TPI and other such details, I really don't know what is best, I just use a generic Taiwanese little saw I picked up about 40 years ago, I count 14 TPI on it at one end (handle) and about 12 TPI at the other end.
I would like to make a dovetail saw, and if possible, materials for a carcase saw.
Mick.
