    Getting the pegs in with the electric hammer is fine, getting them out of the stone soil is another.

    Another point - Prossie has the best electrics at any turning event I've been to. No black/brown outs and everyone is happy.

    Ah so Jeff, but compared to other events, how many lathes are working?

    Sorry I couldn't have been there this year.

    Vern, is that the Official Proserpine T shirt or is it a QLD turning jacket?

    Glad to see that Jim (Powderpost) is finally useful.

    Watch it!!!! I am listening.... and I have a good memory . Yes it was a very enjoyable weekend. Pity the southern gatherings are so far away, but then that may be a good thing. It is too bloody cold down there..

    This was a feature at this years weekend. The bloke on the left, in the coveralls, is 87 years old. He has completed 10 of these rocking horses, and attended about 7 turnouts in Proserpine. He must be alright, his name is Jim and he is an old scot... . A bit concerned about the bloke on the right in the green "T" shirt though.

    Sanded and put a bit of wax on the threaded box - it'll do for the first attempt Used Veiny Denhamia because I thought it would be good for threading but it is a bit plain so an unfortunate 'design opportunity' allowed me to con Jim into letting me use one of his famous laminated inserts to give it some style. Thanks again for your help Jim.

    I thought they did it in tents. So no worries about doors.

    TTIT,

    Beautiful lighting & set up on the box photos.
