Just a quick tally:
The following people have asked for their names to be put on the list.
Many have contacted me by PM. Aynone who hasn't given me thier e-mail address, please do so. I would also appreciate if you would let me know where you are - or rather which city you'd be coming from to attend. Gives me an initial sense of travellers vs. locals etc...

That's 14 of us. I suspect that might be getting close to the practical limit for now -allowing for a couple of people who can't make it when we finalise dates.
Cheers,

I've just left a message for Neil - our forum's Senior Administrator - to split this thread and move all messages from #276 onwards to a new once called "Scraping Class in Melbourne".
Maybe until this is done, we could refrain from adding posts not directly related to the class in this thread? If you want to post something otherwise scaping related none-the-less (and I'm about to), please start a new thread and just put a link here. Once the split has happened, we can continue this here thread as it was intended by Greg Q.
OK?
Cheers,
Joe

Hell no, I'll be critiquing how the new roaster is going NOW the pressure is on Whenever I'm in Singapore I call into a roaster I know and he drags out different exotic beans he wants me to try. One time I had so many espressos I left there literally shaking . I'm expecting you to provide the entire class with the same feeling on this weekend Greg

If I could fly into Rocky, you can (probably) fly out. Nice drive anyway, probably only take you 4 days.
I'd be in a scraping workshop as well. Easy to nick up from Hobart. In fact I'll be in Melbourne the week after next, heading back south from Sydney to do my bit for the old iron imbalance in Tasmania. Good thing I brought the turbo diesel flat tray with me because it's going back full.

Looks like someone else will have to take my place. I don't get back from Paris till the 12th of November. If the class is the success it should be, maybe you blokes will organise another. Otherwise I will have to lean on Alan "C-47" to provide me with a few pointers. If Alan is unable to attend, maybe one of you Melbournians can come to my rescue. I do have a reason to visit your city. My youngest daughter has lived there for four years. My eldest is heading over there to live in 2 weeks time.

Don't give up that easy, Bob!
I'd be happy to postpone to November 19/20 - anyone got any thoughts about that? Or will that be getting a bit late in the year for others?

Bob, no matter how much you lean, it doesn't make up for fading brain cells.
Joe 19/20 Nov as good as any this far out. BT just needs time to recover, money wise, from all his wanderings.
Phil (machtool) you are correct, better memory on dates than I. Hope the machine you commissioned at the time is going well. Look forward to catching up again. Alan.

It's funny how things go. When I mentioned the possibility of attending a scraping class in Melbourne to my wife, her comment was simply " well I hope you are going to go".
If it does turn out that the weekend of the 19/20th suits all, I will simply extend my leave for a few days enabling me to catch up with my girls as well.
Phil's kind offer to machine my table ways to enable me the finish scrape them during the class, may sadly need to be turned down. Greg's view of what might be achievable over two days, the 1-2-3 block, might better suit my level of ability.
For me, the opportunity to catch up with you blokes ( and two daughters) will be the highlight of the trip.
Bob.

Hi Joe,
Looks like the course is filled up, so put me on the reserves list if anyone drops out.
Thanks
Regards

Here is something to get you in the mood.... Or chase you away....
I made this this afternoon while working on my TC grinder rebuild... I am finding this not very easy going at the moment due to inexperience and lack of knowledge... But I am getting there..
The cast iron on this TC grinder is much harder then other items I have scraped...Also there is no relief for this V... It ends abruptly..
So if you want to waste 4 minutes of your life.... download and watch this 23MB video file.. I am scraping pads that I make level with other pads, then they will be used as reference points to scrape the whole way.... That is the plan anyway....I am up to plan M so far....

RC,
You seem to be going at it pretty hard without checking. I assuming you know you have a long way to go? Or am I missing something?
Is there a reason you cant cut relief in the V?
When I read "Not very easy in this postition" at the start of the video I thought "why not move it then? lol Thats one heavy T&C grinder, got a rough number of its weight?

Yes.... The editing..
There are about four different takes there, they blend in pretty well because of the way it was edited...
Is there a reason you cant cut relief in the V?
The grinder weighs around the tonne when fully assembled...
