I have had a couple of enquiries re staying the Sat. night.
We have room to fit vans and campers in. If you want to bring a swag or some such there is room to bed down for the night.
I might even spring eggs and bacon for brekky.

Would have loved to come , but I will have just got back from Perth and need to get back to work.
Hope you all have a good time, perhaps you can finish those bowls we started at DJ's place, if they aren't finished already that is.
Now all I need is for the WA members to get their act together before I get thereNeil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

,
I'll be down for the 2 days, the missus still doesn't believe your lathe bed is a kilometre long.
Problems? Ern has a few, probably starting with sharpening. For me, I'm still wanting someone to sort out end-grain hollowing on lidded boxes without resorting to drill etc. The Raffan approach is still too scary.
And , you better tell the bakery we are coming!

I keep telling Jeff to knock up an Oland tool to hollow his boxes!
Might get further if I offered him a Reeders Signature Tool made only to order for megabucksCheers, Ern

Either, both at this stage good for me. Would love to meet a few of you blokes and see how it is really done!!
Dangerous timing though!!! A week before the wood show and no doubt I'll be inspired well beyond my ability and will get lots of new ideas for tools and wood I probably don't really need

Alright Ern,
knock one of those tools up for me at the discount rate (please). Any chance of it being ready for the turnfest?

No problem Jeff ... can you turn chisel handles yet?
Cheers, Ern

Ern, you and some of the others in the more experienced class can be pretty cheeky.
I rang a few weeks back, seeking his advice on the removing the dimples I was getting in my lidded boxes. Cheeky sod gave some good advice, then sent me a PM entitled:
"How are your dimples going?"
So Ern, the short answer is No, I've not turned a handle yet. But I reckon I can manage, as long as I careful with the skew. I turned redgum platter no. 2 today, probably not as nice as the first one I did with you, but passable. A couple of furrows with the gouge after using the Ci1 didn't help.
And I do have a spare Ci1 handle somewhere, will that do?

Well done on the platter Jeff.
Just takes practice. On no. 25 you're cruising, no. 50 you can't explain any more how you do it, and on no. 75 you're bored witless.
Sorry if I came across as cheeky.
But I guess I was pushing it a bit.
As an addicted tool buyer myself it seemed to me you were looking for solutions in the wrong place.
So what's the internal diameter of the hole on your rougher handle?
(Skew, you out there still ??!! ... what would you go for? .. square section steel mounting shaft or round? I've used both but you're the guru with this kind of tool.)Cheers, Ern

The Ci1 handle I have is .49mm internal, round section. I shouldn't use it as it was a freebie from Craig Jackson, but it's spare.
Now Ern, and Co, I don't mind a little cheeky, as one day I figure I'll be giving the newbies some stick and encouragement as well.
And yes, I am something of a tool addict as well. Next to a home-made jig, new tools are nearly the answer to any woodworking problem.
I was really impressed with the Ci1 today, though I must learn to turn with the tool so that I don't get covered in shavings. The 2 inch radius bit cut thru aged redgum like butter. And it wasn't hard getting a decent profile either, so that I could ease/ refine the curve with my heavy duty swept-back scraper.
Did I say that the 9m by 9m extension to my shed is up? Half or more will house the boat, garden tools and some camping gear, but there will be some left over for timber racks. I've got another 2 cubes of redgum that need a home, including 4 smallish natural edge slabs. ( is turning the legs for one entry table, though he doesn't know it yet). 90mm KD redgum legs are beyond me at the moment. I'd give it a go but at $50 a metre, you want to be sure!
Just in time for the turnfest down at Tooradin.

IMHO round stock results in a tool that's more versatile, as you can roll it to finesse the cut. You can always mill a flat on one side if you want a "positive feel" to how it sits on the tool rest.
However, square ones are easier for the non-metalworker (ie. me ) to make and they still work almost as well...
