WWF Get together - Australia Day Weekend 2015 - Jerilderie

[Christos]

Just caught up with this thread.

As always good to see photos been posted.

[crowie]

On Monday, Alan turned up a bowl in super quick turn and presented as a gift to Dave's niece....:2tsup:....

Meanwhile, Dave gave Ray a lesson on the lathe using a 40-50 year old piece of Australian Cedar, which I had been given by the old bloke [Rex], I visit weekly with the local Neighbour Centre Visitor program....

And WOW, a piece of timber that looked suitable for firewood was "RED GOLD" ....:oo:.....

With a little instruction and direction from Dave & Alan, Ray produced a beautiful candle stick holder for his wife.......:2tsup:.....
[and I accidentally left both pieces of the timber with Dave :doh:, of well he'll make something very nice from it.... :rolleyes: :D :; ...]

Cheers, Peter

Photos from Jerildrie and the trip home thru Narraderra, West Wylong, Grenfell and Cowra ............

Great pics Crowie. I'm sorry I missed you guys at Dave's but I couldn't stay until 10pm!
The trip home looked like fun too. Thank you for sharing our landscape with the wider woodie population.
I'm originally from the coast but I love living out here.

I have been flat out working since the GTG and this is the first chance I have had to get on the forum.

To Dave and Family, a very big thank you for putting up with us, your hospitality is tops.
A big thank you to Dave and Trevor for coming to our rescue.

Great photos Peter, also looking forward to Al's photos too.

Looking forward to the next one, its so much better meeting and yarning with a great bunch of blokes.

My wife Genevieve liked the candle stick holder which would not have been possible without Peter's wood and Dave's instruction.

Cant wait to build our house and my workshop then I can really get into all those delayed projects.

Will look at a GTG in the new year at our place at Woodstock.

Thank you all for a great weekend.

[DaveTTC]

Uncle Al, have you had a chance to sort some of your pics yet? Would love to see some of yours too when ever you have a chance



Great photos Crowie. There seems to be a few extra faces in your first lot that we don't have names for. Can you enlighten us?

Looks like you were never answered, you may need to repost the pic you meant.

Just joined the forum. Test post
Just starting out in the hobby of wood turning. Enjoyed the conversation and spending time at Dave's and was very impressed with Trevor's Indian motor bike made out of recycled wood and pvc.

Also went to my first Murray Wood Turning Club meeting. Thanks for making me feel welcome. I had an enjoyable evening learning how to make a DUCK and a mess.

Sorry Dave, I have no idea.... Maybe as a new member he isn't as yet allowed to edit or post photos???
Maybe one of the mods/admin blokes can help and fix it for Trav...got to support & encourage the new members...
Cheers, crowie

[CAG]

Thanx Crowie, Dave was actually the one who got me interested in wood turning.

And he came with Dave to our local woodturning club's meeting on Friday night to join the club (Murray Woodturners Inc.)

Welcome Travis; I suggest you start your WWF journey at Page 1 of Trevor's (Repliconics) 2/3 Scale Indian Motorcycle build and maybe we'll see you next month, depending on how quick you can read!

"HEY"

[DaveTTC]

Still cleaning up from the weekend here. Two more lathes to go back into the cave. For those of you here ventured in you'd understand why. Just doing some spring cleaning as I go.

Prizes to who ever can guess what this is

Nice pics Ray .... I knew someone caught me on the chainsaw.

[crowie]

Is that part of a plastic cowling off one of the lathe's???

Super Glue & Talcum power has been suggested as a ready repairer......

[crowie]

Thanks for your lot of photos Ray....:2tsup:.....

I stand corrected too Dave, you were at least wearing your new thongs while wielding the chainsaw.....:B.......

[DaveTTC]

Right on two cases crowie. Now with a bit of MDF and body filler I might be able to make a guard to go over that fan thingy on the end of my Nova ;)

Isn't that what the cows eat...... well that's what my mum said to us kids when we replied that way!!!!!! :D :roll: :rolleyes:

[CAG]

Trevor, are you feeling neglected and ignored, or are you being 'gently' reminded that you have one of the biggest threads in history and that you forgot to bring Dave's new lathe cowling? Nothing to be ashamed of really...but forgetting the man's mug, well that's just unforgivable. :rofl:

None of the above my learned friend.
Unless of course thread is a metaphor regarding something else entirely.

I may well have neglected to bring the cowl.
But to be accused of not recognising Dave when I see him that's just an outlandish suggestion. :U

You stand rebuffed Sir (and I hope it leaves you with a pleasant over all shine!).

Cheers
Trev.

[Uncle Al]

A photo or three from last weekends GTG at long last! Had a bit of a problem resizing the pics, and probably took too many, although Crowie seems to be a bit trigger happy on the camera as well.

The weekend was very informal and relaxing, with Dave's kids and Springwater's two dogs enjoying the company of the travellers.
I will split up the photos into groups to keep things reasonably uncluttered. Still experimenting with file sizes, hope these look O.K

Alan...


Comparing notes, Repliconics on the right, Dave may have to enlighten us on the other guys.

Ah, looks like I've more or less got the hang of posting pics.
This group of pics of Dave and Springwater converting a River Red Gum log into a replica helmet. You will notice Dave's new Japanese safety boots and the dust extraction system (slight southerly breeze), but ear protection removed for photo clarity!

[Uncle Al]

My main reason for attending the GTG was to see up close Repliconic's incredible build which I have been following for the last 12 months or so.
It was certainly worth the 1400km round trip to see the culmination of so much detailed work, and to admire the finish. Trevor's progress photos are first class, but one really needs to see the machine in real life to fully understand what 2/3rds scale actually looks like. A Coke can is a useful scale tool, but RWBuild (Ray) standing next to it certainly put things into perspective.
No damage was done on my couple of laps of Dave's backyard, and the dogs didn't seem too perturbed about the noise it made. Dave's efforts at kick starting it out the front didn't disturb the neighbours, so all in all, a very successful first outing for the Indian.

[Uncle Al]

I wandered about the town of Jerilderie in between GTG events, and found a few interesting items. The sharpening stone was in someone's front yard on the other side of Billabong Creek from Dave's place, the windmill is in the park next to the lake, and the bulldozer and other contraption were in the yard of the local museum in the main street.

Jerilderie is a very neat and clean town, and well worth exploring if you are ever in the area. I never did find Jerilderie Heights, the place would be useless as a venue for a billycart derby! Flat as a tack, but that is what makes the trip around that part of Australia so interesting.

That sure is one big wet stone grinder, needs 2 dedicated water supplies :rolleyes:

[DaveTTC]

Uncle Al, nice set of pics to cap it all off. Of course that's not to say we won't no more. If you or anyone else has more to post don't be shy.

Never seen that water stone, hope the pic has GPS embedded .... Would make a nice addition to my yard.

Trev ... Are they giving you a hard time. I must say I was quite p,ease to see this thread get as many individual posts as you got pages of posts for the Indian (nothing to do with me giving one word posts to up the statistics lol)

Dave, when you take the kids to school, continue over the Billabong Creek bridge and then follow the road around to the right. The waterstone is in a front yard of the first or second house on the right. You'll need quite a few mates to give you a hand if you are thinking of pinching it:D.

Love the counterweight used to keep the Ned Kelly project steady & it looks like no one found a chain file for that poor chainsaw by the smoke I can see in one of the photos. Thanks Dave for your hospitality that was shown to us,it was great meeting other members & putting names to faces.
Cheers Peter.

REALLY!

[Repliconics]

Thanks for the kind words about the Indian Alan.
I'm really pleased that you liked it.
I think the photo you took of Dave trying to kick start it is just about my favourite shot of the bike so far!.
You can say it's a model till the cows come home, but at the end of the day if you let a big kid like Dave near it.
It's a "Toy". :2tsup:
Thanks again to all for a great weekend.

Cheers
Trev.

I rather liked the photo of RWBuild (Ray) standing next to the bike which really showed the scale of the build.
Let me know by PM if you want any of the photos full size for printing etc.

Thanks for the photos Uncle Al and some more names to go with the faces.:2tsup:

We were thinking of getting the kids to hold it for us but they would not stay still long enough lol

Was great to meet you and see your work up close. Next time I want to have a display area where projects can be put for a show and tell. Nice to meet your other half too.

Wow! You were in fine form on Sunday weren't yer :o

Personally, I wouldn't want the size of my privates to be likened to the girth of your typical thread...then again, how long is a piece of string? :U

And you know full well the mug I referred to was the coffee-holding variety, not the coffee-consuming one.

And to think your teachers didn't see the brilliance of a scholar such as your good self!!!

Wendy is the only one that is allowed to buff me :B; I think you should have written "rebuked" instead...but I guess I haven't been buked first either(?) so...



Uncle Al; well done with the photos.

The two gentlemen in the first photo are; (standing) Alan from our local woodturning club and (sitting) Santa Claus, er...no, that's Geoff (Geof Ford) also of our club and lurking on the Forum.
