Brisbane North GTG with special guest Silent C and tribe

[TEEJAY]

Yes, yes the famous Silent C will be in our midst early January and I am hosting a GTG at my place Sunday 6th January.

I don't have a big shed, but do have a large pool - so bring swimmers :)

Intend starting 10am and going till when ever.

Would be great to have a gaggle of canetoads and nearby mexicans to join us and share in fellowship and talk of splinters and such like.

Please indicate if you are interested. I am at Petrie - 35 minutes North of Brissy.

Can we get a carload from Toowoomba too ??:)

[Ivan in Oz]

G'Day TeeJay,

What is the theme of the day?
Should we bring anything;
or perhaps,
something in particular?

I reckon I know of one Fine young Lass out this way who might also be interested;
Though she might think herself a bit RUFF;:cool::cool::doh:

but does mighty fine WoodWork.:D:rolleyes:

I'm an Hour out West of 2woomba.

[Rocker]

Teejay,

I hope to be there, assuming that my cardiac surgery can be done by catheterisation next week, and that it doesn't reduce me to a vegetable, or worse:)

I have a number of zigzag frames ready built that I would like to get tested to destruction by the collective avoirdupoids of the assembled company.

I also need to check up on SilentC to discover whether he is now balder than I am.

Rocker

[RufflyRustic]

OK OK OK OK I'm there!!. :D Not only me, but I should have HWMNBO with me as well hopefully. :U:U:U We won't be there at ten, but not long after, depending on how long it will take to get from the Airport to TeeJay's :D

Another Forum GTG :2tsup::2tsup:

Cheers
Wendy

[bitingmidge]

I shall be there with Bells on.

On second thoughts, I'll be there with my beloved.

Hmmm, make that Mrs Midge!

(If Rocker behaves in hospital, I'll even give him a lift, if he needs it!)

P
:p:p:p

[RETIRED]

OK OK OK OK I'm there!!. :D Not only me, but I should have HWMNBO with me as well hopefully. :U:U:U We won't be there at ten, but not long after, depending on how long it will take to get from the Airport to TeeJay's :D

Another Forum GTG :2tsup::2tsup:

Cheers
WendyProtection?:wink:

[RufflyRustic]

Nope, as he'd probably be the first to throw me in the pool.:oo: TeeJay, you do have a rule about no one being thrown in the pool, doncha doncha - puullleeeaassee!!!:-:D

We're sending the kids to Cairns for two weeks, so this will be a fantastic start to those two weeks :U Unfortunately, we won't be able to share transport with anyone:(

[munruben]

Yes, yes the famous Silent C will be in our midst Life doesn't get any better than that:):):)

[Hadamona]

I live at Petrie too so I may have to wander round :)

[wattlewemake]

I will be on holidays at the time so I should be able to sneak away for a few hours or so:rolleyes:

Shane.

[TEEJAY]

Looks like a pretty good tribe lining up - I'm sure it will be a great day.

Ivan, you are welcome to bring a lucky door prize if you wish as these are always welcome by those there :). Aside from that I only ask you bring your own alcohol - SWMBO and i will sort the remainder.

Wattlewemake, hope you can make it. Hadamona you are most welcome.

Ruffly you should know me better than that :D :p - swimming is voluntary - but I do not take resposibility for others actions :U

Rocker - do wish you well with your procedures and hope you can join us - will be interesting to put your makings to some tests.

Mr and Mrs Midge - welcome :wink: - look forward to it - we still have on our list a trip to your place for pics and a little duckboat sail :D

Any guys wishing to bring their wife/children - that's fine; SWMBO and I welcome them :). I only ask an idea of numbers for catering :wink: SWMBO and I have a 15yo daughter and a 3yo son so we are pretty flexible with kids age - the house is reasonably kid proof - little bloke has already trashed what can be done so :rolleyes:

That's my excuse as to why I have not made any fine furniture - little Ronnie - 3yo boys are amazing at finding the weakness in anything - or just damaging nice things

[MajorPanic]

About bloody time too TEEJAY!!!

Sorry I can't bring the dual drum sander for you but it won't fit in the new car :rolleyes: but... I can bring a marking gauge as a door prize. :wink:

At this stage, SWMBO & I will be attending... just to keep the reprobates such as Rocker & Midge in line.

Be great to have you and SWMBO along.

I can make a special trip to you to give you a hand loading the sander :D - shed is full but I can find room for it in the lounge room :p

[Toolin Around]

Bugga! I'll be shovellin sh%t at the zoo that day. Hope everyone has a great day - though I know it will be hard without me:D:rolleyes:

[dai sensei]

Hey this time of year I am normally down near Silent's place, so since I can't make it down there, it will be good to catch up.

Got to be back at work on the 7th, so I'll be in QLD, count me in.

[soundman]

Count me in.
I'll have to remember TJ's uggly screwdrivers and Neil's chair.

cheers

[Big Splinter]

Count me in too!:U
I have been off the radar for a while, so it will be great to catch up!
If anyone needs a lift I will be driving from the Centenary Suburbs?
Cheers
Tom:D:D:D

[mic-d]

Hi Teejay, I would love to come and maybe Mrs mic-d too, but if not, then at least I might be able to get her to bake one of her awesome cheese cakes - Wendy might give a recommendation!

Cheers
Michael

[dai sensei]

... and Neil's chair

Hmm yeh, almost forgotten about that. Lucky I didn't go camping this year :U

[artme]

A gaggle of canetoads? Surely it's an invasion of canetoads, a clutch of eggs, acrash of rhinos, a parliament of owls, a troop of monkeys, a murder of crows, a giggle of girls, a consortium of busineess people ( note the political correctness please ), a business of ferrets, acoven of witches,
a_______________ of politicians, a_____________ of beauracrats:D:D

[RufflyRustic]

..... one of her awesome cheese cakes - Wendy might give a recommendation!

Cheers
Michael

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:2tsup:

[TEEJAY]

Michael, splinter, soundman and Neil - good to have you along.

Hopefully for interest we will have Rockers joints to test.

I will also set up an area where one of you really experienced operators of the Domino can do a presentation for those that don't know much about them. I have a Domino here but welcome a presenter (Rocker or Major or Midge? :) )

I will do a demo on a couple of things I have here - poor mans woodwhizz http://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?p=534710#post534710 and chainsaw mill on some mulga or gum (without nails or bolts included :rolleyes:)

Cheese cake will be most welcome Mic.

I'm sure if you wanted, neil could bring some nails and i could manage some bolts:roll::no:

cheers

[TEEJAY]

Thanks Soundman, but that once was more than enough - if someone has a small log they want sliced by the mill (up to one metre long and 300-400 dia will be quick enough max) - don't want to spend too much time on this project it is a demo not a workday :wink:. and then levelled with the poormans woodwhizz we'll give it a go :D NO NAILS OR BOLTS IN IT THOUGH :no:

[dai sensei]

... if someone has a small log they want sliced by the mill ..


I've got some burls I'd love sliced for clocks & family trees TJ, small by your standards, but too big for my bandsaw. I was going to buy a mill for Xmas, but ended up getting a new BBQ and water blaster. I'll have to wait until at least my birthday now.

No worries - bring them along and we will whizz them through the mill and try a bit of levelling as well. I'll level one - if you want more done the setup is there for your use :wink:

I assume you will only want them about 30-40mm finished thickness. I will have whizz set up for about that. If thick 50-60mm then I have to add some packers - haven't set-up for thicker yet.

[silentC]

Hey TJ, you'd better PM me your address and phone number. I'm off from this Friday arvo and wont be near a computer before the 6th. See you all there. I'll be the sunburned person in the corner drinking Tooheys Old in a sea of XXXX :D

[TEEJAY]

Rocker has kindly put up two of his famous rocking chair dvd's as lucky door prizes - thankyou very much David I am sure there will be a couple of very happy winners for these.

Rocker will also have viewing during the day a digital photo-frame with a collection of images of his works over the past 12 years. Will be great to have that there as I won't be able to impress anyone with any fine furnitures of my doing thanks again Rocker.

I will shortly send along my address to those coming that don't have it yet. I would appreciate a return message just letting me know how many coming from each just for catering sake. If the final number is a couple more or less that's fine too.

[TEEJAY]

About bloody time too TEEJAY!!!

but... I can bring a marking gauge as a door prize. :wink:




Thankyou very much Major - welcome prize for a lucky forumite :)

[TEEJAY]

I have just spent 5 hours out there this afternoon pouring a slab outside the shed to give the area some space to use - most likely set upi the poor mans wood whizz on it.

Went out to finish it off around the edges and it was raining :o all over my nice new concrete - damn - so I cover it best I could with roof sheeting - forget the nice rounded edge to the slab. Hmmm :~

Sure hope we get better weather than this stuff recently next weekend. Either way even if it is average we have plenty of undercover room for gathering and chatting. Even the pool is under cover so you don't get wet whilst swimming :U

[STAR]

Teejay,

Just to let you know, that I intend to come along too as a guest of Neil. Hope that is okay.

I will donate a small item to add to the luck door prizes.

Look forward to meeting you all.

STAR,

Be good to have you along :)

Thanks for the lucky door prize :wink: I am sure someone there will treasure it. Have to put my mind to what I may have for offer - no more tassie myrtle Wendy - sorry :) What's left is mine mine mine - well SWMBO's actually for her dressing table.

[Simomatra]

G'day Teejay

Any room for two more for the get together, if so the wife and I would love to come. Finally at home when one of these things happens.

Be glad to find something in the collection for a door prize

[MajorPanic]

This has the makings of great gathering, I'm looking forward to it TEEJAY!! :2tsup:

[RufflyRustic]

Me Too! Shame about the myrtle though :( ;)

Still HWMNBO and I coming along, and a couple of door prizes as well.

cheers

Mr and Mrs Simo - please join us - you are more than welcome :).

[TEEJAY]

I think you are right Major we have just over 20 people now :2tsup:

[TEEJAY]

Enjoying the beautiful QLD weather Silent? :rolleyes::D

[bitingmidge]

He probably can't see any of the weather because of all the rain, and his guide dog would have been blown off it's chain as well.

It'll get better though, once he goes home.

P
:D

[silentC]

There was actually sunshine for about 15 minutes half an hour ago. I yelled "quick kids, jump in the pool. It might be your last chance!" Unfortunately they were engrossed in the Eye Toy so they've missed their opportunity.

Ooh, quick, don't look now, here comes the sun...

Bugger, missed it again.

[Simomatra]

Thanks Teejay

See ya then

[TEEJAY]

Those coming to the gtg - you need only bring your own drinks.

I ask you respond to my message with numbers so we can cater. If we get a late couple extras that's fine too.

Thanks and see you soon.

[TEEJAY]

Ivan - a shame you had to pull out. Thanks for sending along prizes though - you shouldn't have - but thanks.

Looks like the weather is keeping the same. I might put up a tarp against the shed to do the chainsaw mill and woodwhizz just outside. Should work fine. Maybe just a couple of passing showers - will know better on the day - whatever.

I do ask people coming please don't park on neighbours front lawns - yes I know the only one who would have done that is Ivan and he isn't coming now :p. I will park on my front lawn though :rolleyes: - yes my lawn is crap.

SWMBO is doing her best to get ready - I should do the same and try and tidy up the shed - thing is I need it to stop raining and I need a week - can't see either of these a reality. I do have a tidy slab just outside the shed :D

So who is offering to do the Festool Domino demo?? Midge, Rocker, Major ??? Is anyone interested in seeing a demo of the Domino??

[bitingmidge]

Silence on the demo!

Rocker's pretty good at it! :D
Major'd be good too.

Me.... I've never read the instructions, I just go by feel.

P
:D:D:D

[Ivan in Oz]

Ivan - a shame you had to pull out. Thanks for sending along prizes though - you shouldn't have - but thanks.


Hey TeeJay,
No Wuckers.
I am already regretting not going.

Just make sure "You Know Who" brings 'the prizes' along:D
I gave "You Know Who" some other pieces and some worse Rubbish I had, it was getting in the way in the Shed.

"You Know Who" was most gratefull [Is that the correct word?] telling me that it is good.

I'm thinking it is WAY better than I appreciate:oo:

[Rocker]

Teejay,

If you value your Domino, I would get Midge or Major to demonstrate it. The last time I used mine when Midge was present, I tripped over the cord and the Domino fell off the bench onto the concrete. Remarkably, it stll worked perfectly. But I am a klutz if I have any distractions.

Sorry to hear that Ivan won't be there; he always looks impressive in joint-testing photos:D

Rocker

[STAR]

I do not have the ability to demonstrate anything as far as wood is concerned. However, I am quite happy to lead the cheering when the experts arrive.

[Cliff Rogers]

...
Me.... I've never read the instructions, I just go by feel.

That is how Groggy uses a Domino too. :D

Rocker


Thanks Rocker - Midge has kindly volunteered :)

Yes Ivan whilst perched upon an elevated beam awaiting sudden collapse of the support does give that wonderful look of pre-empting pain upon impact from a short sharp drop that has yet to eventuate.

Unfortunately Mic-D has family visiting so won't be here either. But on a brighter note we may have another visitor or more to come along. :)

[MajorPanic]

Really looking forward to seeing all you the reprobates tomorrow!!! :2tsup: :U :U

TEEJAY is there anything you want us to bring? (besides the door prizes that is!)

[Wongo]

I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Have fun without me.

[munruben]

I wont be able to be there tomorrow but hope you all have a great time and the rain holds off for you. Hope someone will post some pics. Have a great day.:Party::Party:

[TEEJAY]

The only thing I want people to bring is their own drinks - we will take care of the rest.

If it is a nice day like today you can also bring your swimmers.

See you all tomorrow.

PS Neil I think you (and Star) will want a dip after milling some larger burls :D

[MajorPanic]

I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Have fun without me.You SOOK!!

Get your arz up here!! We're expecting you!! :p :p :p

[Wongo]

Would love to but can't. I need to pick up the newspaper in the morning.:doh:

[TEEJAY]

I would firstly like to say thankyou to all those that came to our place today for the gtg - SWMBO and I really enjoyed the event. :)

I hope you all made it safely to your home or next event - the weather tried it's best at times to make us feel it's presence - hot and steamy to start with then rain then wind and heavy rain hmmmm.

We had a great time regardless. Unfortunately we didn't get to do the domino or chainsaw mill demos as we were just busy eating, talking, dodging the weather and of course getting into the destructive tests of Rockers chair joints. These were really popular with everyone wondering the weight they would take. I think Rocker has some indicative values and we can convert them to effective load capaicities for the chair with different joints and timbers soon.

Pic 1 and 2 Big Splinter (Tom) is just heavy enough to break first joint

Pic 3 and 4 Feather weight Tom is replaced by a better load Sai Densai (Neil) Teejay as Bazza steady the plank and joint 2 is destroyed

Pic 5 Tom and Neil steady the plank as Soundman and creator Rocker stand eack end of the loading plank whilst Bazza and Teejay waltz in the middle of the plank - serious load applied here and it held for some time. When it did let go I was kinda lucky the real "Big Splinter LHS of Pic 6" didn't spike the back of my leg. Impressive load capacity there Rocker

Pic 7 Lucky door prizes are a plenty and Lucky Ruffly got first out of hat and pounced onto magazine collection given by Rocker.

Pic 8 Major winner was Major Mark who grabbed cd donated by Midge

Pic 9 Wattlewemake had a good pick-up of marking guage from Major - beautiful piece too.

Pic 10 Joe jumped onto one of Wendy's beaut books

[dai sensei]

Thanks for the day Teejay & SWMBO, had a ball and the food was great, as usual ate more than I should have (another new years resolution out the window :-). Also good to catch up with SilentC and the other locals (some even in forum hats and shirts) :2tsup:

The rain may have cut short some demos, but that's a good excuse to have another BBQ. Gold Coast's turn next time, at my place mid to late Feb, I'll post some details under another thread.

Thanks again.

[Rocker]

Teejay,

Many thanks to you and Mrs Teejay for putting on an excellent gtg; I would also like to thank those who risked their limbs testing my mitre joints. I think the tests were successful in giving a clear indication that a well-built cantilevered chair frame has a generous margin of safety in normal use, since it took about 365 kg to break the strongest frame.

Rocker

[bitingmidge]

Teejay,

We've just got in the door, thanks for a great day! Thanks also to all those that turned up and let me talk to them! :wink:

That bloke from Southern NSW doesn't know too much about bringing decent weather with him though does he?

Cheers,

P
:D

[TEEJAY]

That bloke from Southern NSW doesn't know too much about bringing decent weather with him though does he?
:D

You know Pete the funny thing was when the weather was at it's worst he just stood out under the awning in the mist and said "This weather is really pretty good" makes you wonder what pretty bad is :p

Rocker thankyou so much for the cd for the rocker built using domino - in time once I get a few projects about the house and a couple inside complete I will put this info to good use for a his and hers Rocker - much appreciated.

Your welcome Neil - if you get your mill before next gtg all well and good - if not just give me a buzz - that is if you are keen to slab those two burls you brought. :2tsup:

A few more pics of the lucky door prize recipients are-

Pic 1 Big Splinter (Tom) is the proud winner of a Ruffly "Black Book"

Pic 2 Bazza showing the Dai Sensai marker he has chosen.

Pic 3 Neil is now on the list to immortalise a Rocker rocker with the instructions now in hand.

Pic 4 Mr Simomatra is a rocker candidate too now as SWMBO looks with agreement as she should get a rocker too :D

Pic 5 Silent C quietly strides back with spike in hand

Pic 6 Major grabs a laminated Soundman handcaster and then says he will catch a fish this big - Wendy is suitably impressed.

Pic 7 Joe the magazine man knows a good read when he sees one.

Thanks guys for bringing the door prizes - I would like to personally thank Mr and Mrs Simo for the pen and matching perfume dispensor I chose and also Neil's mate Star for the Bunnings Vouchure I will put it to good use :2tsup:

[RufflyRustic]

Many Thanks for the brilliant day, TeeJay and Family.!! :2tsup:

HWMNBO and I had a fantastic time, wonderful to catch up with old friends and meet new friends/forum members. You make the best salads and Tiramisu, TeeJay :wink::)

Well, we have have had two lots of extreme weather at the last two Qld GTG's, I reckon we must be due for great weather for the next Qld GTG :D


Dear Rocker, Thank you for the Woodworking Magazines. I will treasure them.

We went through the tail ends and sides of a few storms on the way back, but the best two sights were not being able to see from one side of Somerset Dam to the other due to the amount of rain falling directing into the Dam and the other sight were all the flooded creeks and low-lying areas after Somerset, before Esk and all that water should end up in Wivenhoe Dam!

Thanks again TeeJay!!

Cheers
Wendy

[TEEJAY]

A pleasure Wendy.

I must confess I had some help with the cakes but Ella didn't with her salads.

:D

[Simomatra]

Many thanks Teejay and family for a great day. The food was fabulous to say the least

It was great to catch up with old friends and make some more.

Many thanks Rocker for the door prize I know have some rockers on the project list and as big as I am I won't be able to break them

Thanks again

[silentC]

Thanks to TJ and Ella for a great afternoon. Was nice to catch up with old acquaintances and meet new ones. Thanks to Simonatra for the beautiful pen and whoever made the pig sticker!

Was all over too quick and didn't really get a chance to have a decent chat to everyone but it was a most enjoyable day.

We're off to Dream World now before the rain comes back!!

Cheers all.

[Simomatra]

Enjoy the day I hope the weather holds off for you

Safe trip home

[Pops]

Hi TJ and All,

Yet another Eastern states big, fun gathering. Well done all.

Thanks for the photos too.

When you write 365 kg it does not look all that much but when you see the photo of a beach cricket team standing on those little Z frames it gets a WHOLE lot more impressive. Outstanding Major.:)

Cheers
Pops

[Big Splinter]

Thanks to Teejay and family.
A really great day!!!:D:D:D
thanks to Wendy and Rocker for my prizes.
Neil, I look forward to the next one.
Great to see you all again (the first time for some)
Cheers
Tom

[BazzaDLB]

A big vote of thanks to TEEJAY, Ella and all who made me feel welcome at the get together. Had a very enjoyable time and met some interesting characters.

Could it be a first - the host out doing the shopping for goodies while his guests/friends are arriving and taking over his house? It's a good feeling when others are as disorganized as yourself. Many noticed the engineering prowess of TJ with his patio roof. I don't think it will really needs all those floor boards attached to the underside to hold it down - best you let me take them off your hands!!!

Love the scientific way you do destructive testing on your chair joints Rocker - beats those high tech engineering methods hands down. There is a chance you could add a few kgs to the max loads - we are after all just past the festive season and maybe a bit heavier that our last weigh-in!!!

Sound Man Joe. It was a good try at getting Neil's burls into the mix for door prizes. Too bad he took them out again.

I'm convinced dai sensei Neil must have heaps of female friends judging by his desire for selecting two of Wendy's note books from the door prizes. Nice try at putting us off by suggesting you need one in every room to jot down all your creative ideas!!

Simonatra Sam and his dear wife could set up as child minders after seeing the way they entertained TJ's young one. Who had most fun playing 'smash up derby' with the matchbox cars Sam?

Thanks to all the door prize donors - way to go - more prizes than people!!

It was a great day and TJ a special thanks to you for sharing your home with us all and organizing it.

[dai sensei]

... if you get your mill before next gtg all well and good - if not just give me a buzz - that is if you are keen to slab those two burls you brought.

Thanks for the offer Teejay. It will be interesting to see if I can have mine up and running by our next BBQ.


Pic 3 Neil is now on the list to immortalise a Rocker rocker with the instructions now in hand.

Thanks Rocker, always wanted to make one.


Sound Man Joe. It was a good try at getting Neil's burls into the mix for door prizes. Too bad he took them out again.


I was going to offer some off-cuts, but sorry, not all of them :U

I wish I had heaps of female friends, but I'm afraid I am just addicted to Wendy's notebooks - Thanks for another one Wendy :2tsup:

[MajorPanic]

A huge thank you to Mr. & Mrs TEEJAY for a fantastic day! :2tsup: :2tsup:

Great to catch up with the usual suspects & meet some new ones. The only complaint was TEEJAY didn't organize the outdoor air conditioning. :p

Anyway here are some photos, I haven't had a chance to do a description of each but you get the idea.

[MajorPanic]

Photos continued............

[MajorPanic]

Photos continued......

[soundman]

AHH a good time was had by all.
certainly no one went hungry:D

seems the monster multi pass lucky door thing is here to stay.
come to think about it I think neil's last gathering was the the last time I remember not breaking one of rockers joints..... so from this time forward I think we have to test some sort of joinery to distruction.

pitty we didnt get to start up a chain saw AGH AGH AGH AGH

I think TJ wanted to get back at a neibour for a 2am karioky session.. but to no avail.

a good day all round thanks TJ & EJ

cheers

[TEEJAY]

SWMBO and I had a great day irrespective of the weather and it's attempts; and the day was really made good from the great atmosphere brought by those that attended both forumites and their partners.

The time seemed to fly by when we were all together as is the way when you are having a good time.

Thankyou to all that attended and a shame a couple couldn't make it - we had a ball.

The pics you took Major help fill in the gaps from what I posted - thanks.

The neighbours here are fine with the occassional noise as we all take turns in doing this - I haven't made as much as I would like but this will change once some more woodworking projects come on line :)
