I'll try again. (The first post died suddenly for some reason).

Calm and Skew arrived up yesterday, purportedly to build a box to house a Geelong footy jumper. I was so thankful when Handy Andy got out of the car, as is he so adept with his hands.

Anyway, here are the pics.

A 3 am finish this morning.

Thanks David and Andy for the visit. Great woodworking/ turning instruction and your company. It's made my week.

Andy - what's that ugly growth on your feet

Nice looking shop setup there Jeff, how does the gooseneck light work for you, do the job?

Looks like a good time was had by all

Sorry I couldn't make it this time

[dai sensei]

Great effort and great time had by the looks of it

It must be really really really cold

Looks like a dead bit of wood to me.

And I'm having trouble work out which bloke is Skew, one bloke is blurry and the other looks very much like the blurry bloke.

Groggy, the light isn't great. Ken W. has a fluoro over his lathe (240w) but the local lighting shop tells me that fluoros over a lathe aren't legal. Something about a strobe effect, so you can't tell whether the lathe is running.

I'm testing the new light tomorrow. If it works, I'll post some pics.

And sorry about the pics guys. The tall blurry one is Calm. And yes, believe it or not, Andy was wearing footwear! (Suck that one in . )

Before any rumours or inuendo occur - i was the one who did all the work

the other 2 consumed a considerable - no, a fair bot - no, a bloody lot - no even more than that in VB cans while i displayed my considerable talents.

Thanks for the good feed, bed and the use of all your machinery Jeff.

Cheers

Vitamins are important to doing an honest days work.

It brought me no end of joy to see that Calm had brought the very-handy Andy with him. I was feeling the pressure there for a while.....

But all turned out well.

And as for David doing ANY work, I think he only touched the piece once with some sandpaper after the glue-up. Andy did the rest.

As for the machines, David, what didn't we use? The Woodwizz for one (hasn't been used in 5 years), the biscuit joiner and probably not much else. I did like the play and I hope you like my toys.

I think I do need a belt / drum sander though. Just to make it easier for the visitors!

And a great stay. Thanks for the company and come back soon. Or the cook and I will come visiting soon with DJ???

It must be really really really cold

I had to wear 'em. Jeff has his lathe set up so damned high that I needed a 4" high lump of wood on top of a 6" high pile of shavings just to be able to see over the rest. Every extra mm of height helped, including standing on sheep...

It would've been a lot easier if Jeff let me use some real tools instead of a bent nail held in a pair of vice-grips.

But we were well fed and watered, Jeff and his wife were gracious hosts. Not even any complaints about leaving sawdust in the sheets. (Or maybe they just didn't notice in time? ) I had a ball seeing if I could use every tool in Jeff's Shed at least once. And I nearly made it too... but I baulked at the Triton hidden in the corner for some reason.

Well worth the square bum to get there. (It'd be nice if I could remember more of yesterday, though. )

Yesterday was Wednesday.

It goes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Looks like a fun time was had by all. I notice has labeled your spindle turning tools "real tools" . Your bottle collection looks interesting.

Tea Lady, we had a great time. Thanks.

I will post some pics of 's other scribblings. There's a whole board-full of instruction (which I can't post because of the language) but the one on my cyclone - not yet connected reads:

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.

Typical of , isn't it?
