A joint effort of course!......................Jeff

It'll be a square table, yes? I'll turn the top.

How many tables are we making?

Is it one of those new "arty" ones where all legs are different??

Teach him where ispy is so he can see the posts as they come up.

Calm, you are a dreaming,

I will mill the boards to square, DAR.

I'll also help with the glue-up on the top. After that....

turns the first leg, you get the last one, plus the sanding. (You're good at it). And we want the last leg to look the same as the first - never mind about the other two.

Then you get to Domino the legs and rails and then glue the frame (nice and square please).

A little ebony inlay on the top would be a nice touch too!

So how is the serenity now?

If someone can show me how to use my HVLP spray gun, I'll finish.

Jeff

I'll make the packers to stop the table wobbling.

Just suck up a mouthful and have someone hit you on the back Jeff. That'd finish things I reckon.

Errrm... he said HVLP gun, not GULP gun, Ern.

Jeff, I'm certain that the deal we made was, you demo and I watch. Box 8 and 9 will do.
I have witnesses, two ladies that were sober at the time.

That sounds good to me too.
After the box, a set of large (300 mm high pawns) matching chess pieces? and after lunch...............................

Alright you two pros, settle down a little.

You both have played some jokes (at my expense), so you both will keep. Guaranteed.

I am pondering on what tasks may challenge you both......

And yes, I will demo box no 25 at Xmas. My method, with a little of everyone else's thrown in.

I think we have 4 lathes available:

- a long bed VL300
- a VL 100 (which DJ has until Xmas until he offers me some S/P grinders in exchange}
- a cheapo Delta midi lathe
- DJ's short bed VL 300

A Stubby would be nice, even a little Nugget.

Ern, if you're coming you can bring your new toy too. I just need to know what bench height you want.

It only weighs about 150 kg with legs, so its a midget compared with the Stubby.

But not so midget that it'll fit on the Fireblade

(2nd turning on it was today; a plug, 7 mm diameter and 9 mm long.)
