Thread: Weekend Event or One Day-Sunday Event Only Now

You planning a trip down under Gil

My wife has suddenly developed an aversion to crossing the border,might be the weather.
Must be the result of living in paradise too long?

I can bring a VM hollowing tool rest with a range of home-made and commercial hollowers ... just a show and tell prob. but if there's time on the day (and before) I'll bring a roughed out form. That would need the VL300.

Could pick up the gear beforehand and get something started and set up ready to go for the weekend Ern?

That's kind of you DJ. Or if the VL300 can be available for an hour and a half or so then I'll do the outside of a form here so we can be ready to play with hollowing on the day.

And I'm happy to talk about my experience with commercial hollowers - the Munro, Proforme and John Jordan.

Hi DJ,
Nope, not planning a trip way down south (Yet), my Suburban seems to have a problem running when the water gets over the hood.<v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o=""> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"><v> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"> </o:lock><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style=" 13.5pt; 13.5pt;"> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_image001.gif" o:href="https://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/anoyd.gif"> </v:imagedata> But, seeing that I recall you saying "Please Vote Regardless", I decided to vote as if I would be there.

Cheers,

Gil, as the Top Gear TV program in the UK showed, you just need fat tyres and to hit the water fast ;-}

Thanks guys, sounds like fun.

I will also be bringing these for those who are interested:

Not suggesting they are for every day use, but I plan to use them on those that are a bit special.

Cool ... could use some for bling on the motorbike. Axle ends, bar ends, all with turned caps out of ebony .... woohoo.

Thanks for the response on the hollowing guys.

Any takers on a pen turning demo? How can something that produces such a small article involve so many steps and options ?

As it is Spindle turning i thought would jump at the chance.

He's always ready to demo his skills, not sure of beads & coves but i'm sure he would come up with something.

That would be about 1:1,000,000 scale for Robo

I'm set up for Pen turning, so if it takes ya fancy, I'll do one for you, heck you can even have a go if you like

Any chance of a bowl coring/saving demo???
