Fence Furniture has stolen my thunder again :p . It's sort of between the bambina and a freightliner as in a one tonner as Brett said. Saturday would suit me just fine. I'll give you a call tonight when I get home some time after 1900hrs.

I did a 'hard timber' search on google and looked at the images. The images I picked (from memory) all seemed to relate to sites that make knife-handles etc. And a lot of them were labelled 'ironwood' which seems to be a pretty non-specific name for timber.
But the log is entirely black on the outside ... only when I sanded a small bit did I see the grain ... so I could be wrong.
From your description it sounds more like a sculptural piece and I'm thinking it might make some nice display stands. In which case it really doesn't matter what timber it is. :)
But it is always nice to know...

Don't go too much by my description ... But yes, my first thought would have been for somebody who likes making floor lamps or such. But otherwise not much 'timber' in it, just a skeleton ... possibly cut up for pen blanks ... but blank by blank ..
But .. in any case .. Had a great talk with Bushmiller last night and will be meeting up with him Sat morn and will pass on the 'log' and the blackwood .. I only got a very small shed (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f245/shed-bunyas-168177/#post1626274) and this is gunna free up some much needed overhead shelf space.
Also ... my shed and shack are on a mountain which is part and parcel of mine. Many parts of this are inaccessible and no-one alive has ever been in to them .. maybe no one ever. But I go in quite often and so will take photo's of various spots .. It well may be that there is some good timber or burls or whatever you guys call them ..
If I see something I think may suit I will photo and ask you guys if you like. Then we can just arrange to get it down there when someone is passing thru Brizzy.
I don't mind dropping a dead one now and then as I do this for firewood in winter anyway. I am mainly into the scale-modelling forum and the only timber I use is Amoora ... suits all my needs and I know it and its behaviour well ... when your on a good thing stick to it ... Haaaaa
Also .. you have all been so kind .. if you are up this way .. Buzz me (will give my address to Bushmiller).. drop in for a brew .. also if we get a bit tiddly and talk long into the night I have a guest shack as well ... no problems. The Bunyas are a very scenic range. Will look forward to catching you guys in Sep-Oct down there or up my way before then.

You need a lean too or two Greg for timber storage or another container 40fter maybe LOL.

24th April 2013, 04:21 PM
Yes ... I wouldn't mind another 20' box. 40' boxes are quite cheap up this way, they have only one problem ... they need a semi with a box-winch to move them .. whereas the 20's only need a tilt tray.
But my sorta policy is that if I haven't used something within a year or two of storage then its time to move it on. Only way I have ever found to keep things neat and tidy ... its a tough discipline but it works.

Yep, all free. Bring something for the BBQ (or not). See post #1 for what will be provided.
If you have something to sell or swap then bring it along.
Basically a chance to rub shoulders with, and try your skills out on some of the best BS artists going around.
No theme, but there may be a little wood turning happening.
It's about 157km and 2 hours from Orange, but I just drove it on Google 3D in about 4 minutes. Both places will be very pretty at the time of year (although the promised fire colour of my Jap Maples is a bit slow this year).

Some time ago I learnt to sharpen an old saw. And been able to cut logs with that saw. Might be worth attending the The Traditional Tool Group saw sharpening.

When I first came to QLD I had to confess to the natives I was a refugee from NSW. It was very quickly explained to me that the only reason for NSW's existence was to keep queenslanders separate from Victoria :p .
As to the content, I think they are offering you a bed for the night, but apparently snoring is PROHIBITO, VERBOTEN, INTERDIT, PROIBITO (forbidden). Though not specifically mentioned, I think you also get to chose which black cat you sleep with.
This is not quite the way it was explained to me. I'm sure you will be able to put two and two together when I add that they tend to wake you up by sitting on that part of the body which includes the breathing apparatus.
I will look forward to meeting you and a great many others I only know by name and repute :).

As for wine, just ask the bottlo for something that doesn't have a chorus of cats when it's opened (thereby signalling the quality of the contents). Colour doesn't matter.

Well today I met with Mutawintji when he traveled the journey from the Bunya mountains to the Western darling Downs just to bring some timber over for me to bring down to the GTG.
What a great bloke. The fact that he traveled all the way just to do this is an indication of his mindset even though he can't come along himself. By his own admission he is a newcomer to woodworking and has minimal tools, but you would hardly know it. Have a look at this if you doubt my words:
http://www.woodworkforums.com/f201/cairns-cross-dockmasters-launch-1-14-scale-167552/
:) . I'll leave you all to further research his work.
I thought you might like to see what he brought over. Blackwood, maple, Rose Mahogany, the very mysterious salvaged log from the river (see the two tiny pieces he sanded) and a turning blank of unknown origin. We might have to have a vote at the GTG as to what it is.

Ill pick out some nice size ones of the the shelf just for you.
I will get the mexicon hats as well
I'd appreciate that, mate! :2tsup: I've been running "evaluation tests" on the beast and am running out of firewood... :-
just hope theres parking room for the catapult to get us all back over the border.
Catapult? Mangonel or trebuchet? D'you reckon there'd be enough floor joists in Brett's shed for a group GTG build? :U:roll:

Prolly not, but I'm gravely concerned as to the fate of the 2.7m 4x2 Tallow that'll be delivered on the day - loose, no demolition required, and out the bloody front!

Why not? We're gonna need something to fling on the trebuchet... and I think Brett got rid of the other old freezer...

Well today I met with Mutawintji when he traveled the journey from the Bunya mountains to the Western darling Downs just to bring some timber over for me to bring down to the GTG.
Thanks for kind remarks. I enjoyed meeting with you as well. Really enjoyed seeing your shed and the boxes, some great timber. ....... and I got brekky, excellent brekky ... But perhaps I shouldn't be telling everyone that, might cause a rush ... haaaaaa

Keen to attend, my travel plans don't fit this time round but if someone was going and passing close by Jerilderie or within 150 km radius I'd be happy to hitch a ride and share some driving.
Someone from Vic SA do southern NSW might work. Can provide accommodation if anyone wants to stop a night here in either or both directions.

I have sent a PM to grumpy John. Not sure what his travel plans are,

You'll have to forgive me, but I'm having a little bit of trouble keeping up with the dialogue here. There again I don't get out much, but I'm sure all will become clear at the GTG with plenty of linguists on hand to translate into hills dialect and probably the vernacular too :wink: :) .

Not necessarily this is " THE FORUMS OFFICIAL ANZAC BISCUIT TRANSPORTER. This humble piece of tupperware is held in high regard by stalwarts such as claw hama, wheelinround and scribbly gum"
If you do dont give it to Fence Furniture who has enough on his mind remembering to put a cake out! Put it out on a flat surface and stand back.

I'd make sure the lid is off as well - could get nasty otherwise!
