Thread: Two uglies make Half a pen!

But I don't see any sawdust on either of them? Were you giving the tinny elbow a workout instead??

Russell.

Russell, look closely at my jacket-covered with spray from wet sanding!-Amos (or was that something else that spilt)? Amos

Good lord!!?? Do you use a garden hose to wet sand??

Russell.

No HALF measures on that half of the Pen! Amos

I reckon I've seen those two blokes on wanted posters down at the post office

Hmmm ! If it takes one man ,one day, to make one pen ! How long will it take for two "men" to make half a pen ? hehe! in the end its not always the result, but the enjoyment of the process !

Not half bad!!

If you get enough turners gathered in one place (eg. at Tooradin ) you may be lucky and see a simple spindle turned to completion. However, it's almost guaranteed that you'll see enough hot air to float the Hindenberg... and possibly the Graf Zeppelin as well!

If it makes you feel better, it's a known scientific fact that it's just how the world works. The proof goes like this:

1. 'Tis a well known fact that production (P) is inversely proportional to the mass of turners (Mt) in any given shed.
   
   P::1/Mt
   
   
2. As the mass of turners (Mt) increases, the social co-efficient (SI) also increases at a logarithmic rate.
   
   Mt::logSI
   
   
3. The social co-efficient also determines the proportion of production (P) to information, news & gossip (Ing) for any given amount of Turning Time. (Tt)
   
   Tt::P/NG
   
   
4. Substituting for P from formula 1 into formula 3, we arrive at:
   
   Tt::(1/Mt)/Ing
   
   
5. Simplifying formula 4:
   
   Tt::Ing/Mt
   
   
6. Substituting for Mt from formula 2 into formula 5, we arrive at:
   
   Tt::Ing/logSI
   
   
7. Simplifying formula 6:
   
   logSITt::Ing

There ya have it Amos... proof that get enough turners in one place and logSITt::Ing happens.

Good to see you two caught up and making half a pen is quite an achievement.

See you when you get up this part Graham

Nice half a pen BTW

Thanks for that Skew, my maths was stretched to the limit but I figured it out while I was LOGSitting! Amos

Sent one reply(to somewhere) Jenny and me had a great couple hours with Amos and Rebeka.I learnt to make half a pen haha.Also took special notice of Amoses finish,not realy,was showen.Now i will have to practice.A more helpful,nicer couple would be hard to find.Cheers Graham
