Scraping Class in Melbourne

**.RC.** · 25th July 2011, 03:43 PM

We have set a new date to get around the AFL grand final problem (or more to the point the high cost of airline tickets during that period).. It will now be held on the 8th and 9th October... This is 11 weeks away.

Unless we have overlooked something drastic (asteroid hitting the earth, return of a religious omnipotent being, etc) this should be the final date...

Currently confirmed are

Can you please post if you will be needing help to find accommodation and or need help with travelling from motel/hotel/under bridge to the class.

Also we will be chasing a deposit to secure your position... More to come..

That date is not good for me. Every week after that would be better, especially as an ex Bathurst boy, someone who grew up there, and as a teen-age driver, used to sneak in through back roads and stock- routs with a Morris Minor full of mates, when none of us had much money, but we wouldn't have missed the car racing on account of that.

. Did I mention that Bathurst is on

Seriously, I had planned on being at my Mothers (just out of Bathurst), for a week or two past the 8-9th of October, but I won't completely rule myself out at this stage, but will have to change some plans already pencilled in.
How long have I got before you need a definite decision, and my next question would be, Is it anticipated at this stage that another class might be run in the future for people who miss this class? (I realise that this question will be hard to answer at present) I do sympathise with the dilemma you organisers, have in setting a date.

Regards,
Rob.

I cannot see we need a definite decision for a few weeks yet...

We have had a lot of soul searching and too and froing to get this date and we have locked it in, it is really the only weekend we could all finalise on for this year.. We have booked the teachers... We knew that unfortunately it would clash with someone somewhere...But there is nothing we could do...

There are no plans for another class in the future.. This will be a one off event..

Hi Stuart,

Good to see you've joined the party...

Just a quick note (as I don't have PC acces and doing this via phone is a pain) - I'll be home Friday night and will contact everyone interested with a few more details and some more questions to make all goes smooth for everyone.
Cheers,
Joe

G'day Joe, keep me in the loop please, as although the dates will not be easy for me, I am trying to juggle things around a bit to still be able to make it with you all. At least I'm still a chance while poor BT seems certain to miss out. It was pretty certain that some would not be able to make a particular date, and on this occasion I might be in that category if I'm unable to finesse our itinerary. Regards,
Rob.

A while back, I put my hand up to buy a pair of milled cast iron 2-4-6 blocks for the scraping course. They are not going to be of much use to me now.

Is there any chance that I can cancel that order? If not, would someone else like to buy them?

I have looked in vain for the original post.

Bob.

Please put my name on the "Possible Emergency" list.

I,d hate to pull out at the last moment and deny someone else the opportunity to attend

(work commitments are looking as though they are going to get in the way)

Bob, the thread was titled - unhelpfully - https://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/ar...achine-135428/. But I don't see why you wouldn't still want the parallels. Plenty of people teach themselves to scrape. Have you seen what RC has been doing?

Of course I have been watching and admiring Richard's progress on his Macson. The issue with the parallels is my collection of them.
