Thread: Next Turn-on 18th-19th OCT.

Sounds good, I would be keen on the sharpening, when I last tried to sharpen turning chisels I blunted them .

I will bring one of the she oak blanks that RSSER gave me for bowl practice.

If I had a car, I could bring lots of English Ash for spindle turning practice.

I'll be there, probably for Saturday night too as I discovered I'm all on my lonesome for a week. I'll bring myself and a bloke who looks a bit like me, just shorter.

I can help with multiple start helixes but i have not actually done any barley twists. What would be required of this volunteer you mention?

Just to show how it is done.

No prob, i'll bring some bits and bobs along.

Bit of a bump and some further info.

BYO Lunch and drinks. Coffee and tea will be provided. BBQ is available if you need it.

It might pay to bring a chair as well. We have a few but not many.

For those that want to I will spring a BBQ tea on the Saturday night and if people are early enough on Sunday, a brekky of toast, Bacon and eggs.

Thumbsucker: Did you get a lift?

Sharpening.

A bowl from start to finish including the finishing which should answer a few questions.

Copy turning of spindles by hand.

Barley twist and multiple helixes. I will need a volunteer for this one.

Because of what people want to see I suggest a 9.00 AM start and just keep going until we stop.

Is this agenda set in concrete, if not I would like to see a square edge bowl being turned (with or without safety wings glued on). I could bring a small bowl I've started if you like.

I have not found a lift, and I was hoping to bring some English Ash spindles and a large piece of Jarrah that is old and dry and would be great for a bowl.

I can make it to any suburban train station if someone is willing to give me a lift or is traveling through the West of Melbourne.

I am happy to give you a lift but I am over east and I would be leaving pretty early Sat morning. Ideally you would need to be at Heathmont stn about 7:30-8am.

Hold out for a better offer but it's there if you need it.

I have sent a PM to DJ.

Looks like I'm definitely in for the 18th as I'll be giving TS a lift
