gee you can see it in the photo stance angle of cut suppose you all were wondering why no shaving were coming off or sawdust professionals I don't know.

Of course Pat seems real relaxed taking it all in............ gee I can do make flying things

Looks like everyone had a good time, I wish I could get along to one of these turn on's!

Just a Kodak DX6490. It has quite a good zoom on it so you can get is close without being up people's noses. When I grow up I want a proper camera.

Going by the results, don't think you need to TL.

Great pics, captions and commentary from the participants.

Thanks you for sharing.

.....

Yes, indeed I have been.

We had many fine friends visit Kiewa between Xmas and New Year and I haven't been able to say (appropriately) THANKS.

It was a journey to remember. A long one that ended not soon after and Julie departed on I think the 3rd.

and I were turning on separate lathes on Sunday after the new year. All had gone home. (All this after gave me 2 hours head start on a box..... And I again stuffed the lid-fit.... turned my box in short-time. )

Then we looked at each other, chuckled a little and felt the emptiness. It wasn't just me. But it was time to down tools, ponder on the week past and relax.

Where to begin? At the start I guess.

and Julie arrived Xmas night. Calm the next day I think. (David was here on and off for the entire week, but didn't bring his Stubby. He will next year if I have my way. ). Thanks for the blackwood too, David.

Next was.... Dunno.

I do recall a late night call from Pat from 600kms away asking for directions..... He got here, so even after too many beers, I must have been cogent. Thanks Pat for coming down. That was a big, big effort. I hope you enjoyed the trip. We were pleased to see you too.

Calm departed sometime, only to return again and again....

Sunday, I think the Wraights arrived. That too was a great effort. Ken with the brace on, Helen looking after him. And you know what greeted them first? Ken's outdoor shower (where's the pic Tea Lady?) that set up for him.

Monday, the locals came out, plus Tea Lady and Ern (hope you are well).

By then, we knew that DJ wasn't in fine shape too....

So we were a VL SB 300 and a Stubby short, but we managed OK.

, Ken W and Jim Carroll (the Phantom turner) did what they do best at such gatherings - teach, entertain and share wisdom. The poor locals hadn't seen the Duo Act before with and Ken. Apparently they are to be invited back, this time on full pay.....

Free lessons all week for all. Thanks from everyone to our Masters. It was a treat. Truly.

Interestingly, Jim C. hadn't seen Ken demo at all until now. And demo he did, brace and all.

Poor bugger got tired of unpacking and re-packing the Carriage for the visitors though. Sorry mate for the trouble, but you did win Open.

Now, what have I forgotten????

Well, (and Ken) fixed:

- the bandsaw (eventually)
- the new controller box for the VL300 (that took some doing)
- the set-up for the VL175
- the new lay-out of the shed, now split in 3 parts

+++++

I've forgotten it all. It just went on and on.

And generally they made a great bloody mess.

I didn't have everything needed tool-wise for the outing, but almost.

I think / know the girls had a good time too. Shopping mostly. And getting lost up near Dederang.

Frank & Earnest - Ken got your olive wood too. Too good a piece for me to ruin.

Thanks also to Col (the President) and Harry and Ester for the food and entertainment. salivating on a VB 36 is something to behold. Even better 'an custard tarts an' cream.

Last, the lathe was going the right way FOR ME outboard until certain right-handers decided to unwind the chuck.....

It's on again next year, if anyone is interested. Bruce (Belly Up) from Broken Hill, you're expected 3 weeks later this year.....

Forgotten heaps. Thanks, girls, too for the many hands and feeding the masses.

Please fill in the gaps for me, people.

It was great.

thanks

Congratulations for your efforts, Jeff, and thanks for passing the olive wood to Ken. I still have a good amount, hope he will share with all of us the results so I and others can get inspired to do it justice.

Pat
we'll have to plan something for this year
