    As there has been virtually no interest in this Get Together I think I will have to cancel. I need to give 1 months notice to get time off work and as I work Sundays I would have to give notice for time off before Thursday. Unless there a heap of positive responses before this time (Midday) Wednesday 9th May, it's off.

    John, don't care if I'm watching paint dry. As long as I learn to do it properly.

    OK it looks as though there's enough interest to go ahead.
    THe following people have indicated interest:
    Peter (Sturdee) & Michelle
    Fly

    Tea Lady
    Pagie

    With myself included that makes seven. Not a huge turnout, but you don't need a big crowd, just people with open minds and willing to share knowledge.

    My initial proposal of covering vairious finishing techniques was not meant to be set in concrete and may have put some people off. Tea Lady has indicated she would like to have a play around with my Escoulen Chuck, that is certainly doable.

    Perhaps we could have a comunal effort at doing a Three-centre spire box from Chris Scott's Turned Boxes book.

    This also is not set in concrete, please put forth suggestions on topics to be covered

    John, My wife and I are coming down on the 15th, the next weekend for the weekend. Is it possible to postpone it one week? If so I can bring down my thread chasing gear. Providing that is of interest.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    That's certainly fine with me Jim. The following weekend may also suit other people that had plans for the long weekend.

    We can add thread chasing to the agenda .
