Count me in

Will come for the weekend and looking

Ern and Co,

I will definitely bring down my Easywood roughers, plus the spare DVDs for distribution.

What am I hoping to learn? Lots!

First up, how to use those new beaut tools you've made for me Ern. I am really hoping that they will be useful in smoothing the inside face of my lids etc.

Hollowing end grain is next, as I've got some beautiful 4 by 4s to turn into lidded boxes etc. If someone can show me the way Richard Raffan does that back hollowing technique, the 400km trip will be worth it. (Seeing you guys is enough anyway).

Starting cuts with the gouge, another free-hand sharpening lesson from . Maybe we can finish that burl from the last turnfest? (DJ, if you can bring it down please, so I can butcher it at home).

OK, I'll bring down some 4x4 of something so you can practice end-grain hollowing with the Oland tool.

Skew's the guru with this tool so if he's there let's ask him to show you.

can show you back hollowing.

Who needs the address?

Looks like a very busy weekend coming up.

Yeah me, so far I'm heading for a big bit of water and you're near it somewhere, beyond that I'm stuffed.

Address? I thought you rocked up in Tooradin and just asked anyone where the guy is who sends frisbees rocketing out of his shed.

DJ .. thanks. Maybe a medium density timber would work best as this is what Jefferson has for his boxes. I've got some pieces of Acacia of Calm's left from the last turn-fest here I'll bring down.

Maybe someone experienced in lidded boxes could go right through the process with Jefferson.

Corner of Bayview Road and South Gippsland Highway on the sea side not land sand. Map attached.

I'll bring my floaties just in case.

I can steer ya in the right direction. When you see the marks that look like tram rails have been dug up going across the highway, you're there.
