Thread: 's Travels

As we ahall know - loves his tea

The original set up so we could watch from the lawn. But we got to thinking as at this stage there was only one shade sail up that the audience may get hot. So up with the second sail as seen below and it was time to move the equipment. The lathe was a little low for so up an some 5" x 5" and things were more his height.

The local club supported the event with 4 other members, members wives and my kids were in and out.



One of the wives said this before she left, "I don't even do woodwork and I found it interesting!"

There was other bonuses for me. My Lathe got 'tuned' and finally got my sharpening system set up. It is Tru-Grind by Woodcut. did a couple of chisels and now the rest for me.





I cant remember the name of this particular roughing gouge but says he has a similar one that he puts a 'thumb nail' grind on so I have decided to do the same.

Thanks

I thoroughly enjoyed your visit.

One thing I like about is not only can he turn and show you how to do things but ... All the knowledge he has on turning history and how things were and are made.

I like the little table for the tea cup.

My little girl, Samantha-Josephine (AKA Sammy), though quite shy seemed to take quite a shine to .

When I came back from the shop she came running to me and said, "Look! Grandpa!'

Sammy can be seen on a green chair in the last group picture.

Would need to bleach his beard.

Tyler, my boy seen in the next picture came running to the door at the same time saying, "Daddy, Daddy! Your best friend is here!"

Sammy said 'grandpa' but the kids don't have one.

Tyler said 'your best friend' - is he saying I have no friends lol

Well sometimes you have one of those days, then it turns into a week and more.

Not this time. Things went well. I had drop in for a couple of days at the start of his trip.

Now I hit the jackpot. came back (maybe he felt sorry for me after seeing my turning )

Last time round we were out on the back slab under a shade sail or two. This time I had a make shift shed.
got here Sunday night and Monday we sorted the tools and he for ready for his demo for Tuesday.
