    Default Prossie Turnout 2011

    The 11th Turnout was another great weekend, 4 days of it, and for me it just keeps getting better. Some of the highlights,
    MK Penturner teaching me how to turn a full length pen,
    TTIT cutting a thread first go with Powderposts tuition,
    In awe of the work Gorden and Vaughn from WA were doing,
    and who could forget Marilyn's joke at the banquet Saturday night,
    so now to planning for 2012 and setting up an even bigger selection of choice wood for prizes,
    regards,
    Crocy.

    Top weekend Took a couple of pics as soon as I got there because I knew that once I settled in I would forget I even had a camera with me - too much to do, to many woodies to meet and chew the ears off.

    1. Ladies marquee with the main marquee behind.
    2. Looking towards the main marquee through the corner of the second marquee that was originally set up for the rocking-horse carvers - ended up full of lathes also.
    3. Main marquee - Old Croc in the blue shirt arguing the point with Mkypenturner in the green&gold.
    4. My little plot with the mini-lathe I borrowed to try and catch up on my egg turning - yeah right!! - whole weekend and I only got 7 done . . . . but I did learn to chase a thread under Powderposts expert tuition which was worth the trip in itself

    Arguing the point???? never!
    One day I will buy a computor so I can keep up with it all, and then i would have known about one piece pens and CA finish, it was a big weekend of learning for me. Also forgot to mention all the tips I picked up listening to Ken W, while he was tutoring Katrina with the oblong burl,

    Damn right it's dry - not a drop since Yasi wandered through apparently . The bush on the south side of the dam was still burning when I arrived

    Still waiting to see two things:

    1) The joke from Marilyn, and

    2) A pic of Ken with Katrina.

    Cliff, it was so dry they used an electric jack hammer to "bore" a hole for the tent pegs.

    Didn't take many photos, to busy talking. This is a portion of the main arena of the circus. Our own TTIT on the right in a white singlet.

    He would often use mine to shape a new tool for somebody before taking it to the Tormek.
