Kind of successful weekend at Phillip Island Turnaround.
After a late start on Friday for me, owing to the fact I couldn't leave the small child home alone till his dad turned up, I managed to get my old Golding Lathe assembled around 10 pm. Everyone else had started soon after lunch. Just to get going, I turned a couple of mallets for my sculpture friend. One before I decided I should prolly go to bed and do more on Saturday. So on Saturday I turned the other one.

Then couple of bowls in Blackwood and Sassafras for a friend of my Dad's. Every time I went to my parents place he'd ask me If I'd done them yet. So that should get him off my back.

Then I moved on to those thread chasers. I had managed to chase an inside and outside thread, but not make them fit together yet. So after wasting a bit more mulga, I did manage it. Happy dance all round. :happydance:

Then I farted about with a finial or 2. Used a bit of the Norfolk Island Hibiscus that TTit had sent me. Not sure it really goes with the maple box. Might stain the maple some bizarre colour.

Also turned a lump of Red gum burl. decided it was going to be a little chunky box(Cos of the huge split ) with a long line finial on a sassafras lid. Half done cos then we had to all pack up.
The old Golding is now reassembled in the "shed" again. And I need a little lie down. .
Seems these weekends have been happening for 16 years. A great weekend. A friend asked me if I went to the beach. "Um! No. Saw the water as I went round the round about though."anne-maria.

The box looks good AM. Threads look nice and clean, I make the threads about 2 or 3 threads long, not so much a pain to get the lid off. Easy enough to cut some of the male thread until the grain lines up again.

Hi All,
As TL said it was a great Weekend. Quite a few Forums People there. Shocking Weather, but that didn't worry us as we were all inside the BIG Gym.
As a matter of Interest to some, there were 114 People? 74 Lathes & 30 of those were the Yellow Woodfast, a few Stubby's.
The Silent Auction was a sight to behold.
There was some Beautiful Work done, & We will be there next Year.Regards,
issatree.
Have Lathe, Wood Travel.
