Just to be sure.. The last weekends event plus this one woudnt have taken place with out Scott steping up to the plate, and volentering his time to pull this off. With what I've had on, I would have never offered, to try this on.

If you have ever had an email from him, typically that means writing to 25 -26 blokes, as he has covered the Sept 2014 class, as well as his own Oct. class.

I'm figuring thats several hundred emails. I've botherded him each second night for about the past 3 months.

He doesn't drink, so I cant square that way by booze. But I have half an idea for Saturday morning.

For all he has done for this cause, Scott's a 3rd party to this event, Just after Marko & I

Your work has really been greatfully appreciated.

Regards Phil.

I was reliably informed that Phil would be knocking the top off one at 5:01pm.

Looking forward to some pictures of how things are going.

He was much better today, after we tied one arm behind his back.

Couple of random pic's before I go home and sleep.

I present the inverted Turcite Vee way.We glued this on Saturday during morning tea while the punters were woofing down a pie. Baked it, and pulled it out at lunchtime. Bolted, dowelled and complete with oil ports. Purpose of that is to include actual geometry. There's two surfaces that have to be relative to each other. Not just one surface flat.

A touch of power mottling, one of the 5 machines we pulled out this afternoon.

* Just to be sure, it was my pleasure to have you all here this weekend. If we could have extracted any more out of it, I'm not sure of how.

One last photo before I go to bed This was Sunday lunch time. I'm so sorry you guys were disapointed, but I'm working within a budget here.

Sign of the times, you dont get much for $30 bucks these days. I'm a bit worried Stu & I spent all day Friday putting that pole up.

I must admit it's the first scraping class that hasn't had continuing commentary - I wondered whether everyone had been overcome by the fumes from the blue.

And they laughed when I described my small granite surface plate as a cheeseboard...

Glad to hear it went well Phil. Congratulations to you and Marco (and Scotty).

Michael

Nice work Phil, congratulations on another scraping weekend success... ( I think you should seriously consider upgrading the pole dancing talent... )

I was out and about last Tuesday in Country Vic. I drove from Warrnambool to Kyabram, just to pick up an erant Bar-B-que I'd left there last Easter.

I bought the old- mans bull whip back witk me. Thats magic, just leave it in my van out the front. These bloke's have punched out good work all weekend. I'm yet to flog them. I dont have a picture of it but some one was 20 P.P.I by pie time Saturday. We still punch above our weight.

Sorry Phil but do you think you could fool us with that photo..

After Phil mentioned there would be changes for this class and Phil wanted a "closed shop" I started sleuthing and came across the real reason why this scraping class has been the most secretive...

I did not want to believe it but after the installation of a secret camera to find out the truth I just had to believe it...

Phil wanted this class to be different and has had a bit of work done over the last couple of weeks and not just in his workshop..

Here is the photo my secret camera snapped at the scraping class..

Phil (ippa) doing his/her stuff
