Adelaide meet and greet

[Gumby]

PS. Address details should be kept quiet for security reasons.

I'm trying to think of a group who'd bother gate crashing a Woodworkers BBQ ? Maybe some 70+ grannies on motor bikes after a few likely lads and a good time around the jointer

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to say the weekend of the 13th of August, but I don't have any probs with 10 Sep. I think that would give everyone more time to fit it into their diary.

I'm on leave during the weeks of 19 to 30, so it would be a bit easier for me to organise my place for an event on either 24 or 25 Sep instead. The weather might be a bit better by then, too. Is everyone OK with that date instead???

So far I count:
Tankstand
Zenwood
Ian007
Javali (I'm keen to talk to you about your great workbench)
Trevor Owen
Studley
Himzol
Kiwigeo (if he's not offshore that weekend)
Harry72 if he can make it to Adelaide

Sounds like a good number so far. Anyone else???

I'll contact sbranded soon as well to see if he is interested.

I'm happy to lay out the snags, bread, onions, sauce etc if others bring chairs and drinks and perhaps something to chat about.

[ndru]

Just further ndru post your address via private messages to those who want to come. Tell them there is free beer that will get them out. Don't want your addy up on a public board

Studley

Will do, once we get a bit closer to the day and a final guest list.

Cheers

[zenwood]

I'm happy with 13 Aug or 10 Sept. I'd prefer to avoid 24/25 Sept.

Dunno, Gumby. What if someone like Otilia turns up?

[Studley 2436]

13th sounds really good to me too Ndru

Studley

[Gumby]

Trevor Owen

Don't let him in unless he uses his proper name

The others on that list seem fine to me.

[javali]

13th sounds good to me. I can probably make it on September too.

[Studley 2436]

Has anyone given Tikki a wake up to be there. Tankstand will be lonely without her!

Studley

[Ian007]

why not the 13th this month and then the 10th next month at someone elses place??

Cheers Ian

[himzol]

Well the 13th could be tricky, going to Melbourne for the week, however I'll try. As for the 10th of September, Nothing on the agenda so far so I shouldn't have a problem.

I like the show and tell idea as well, I'll nominate the tool I'll bring.

It will be an Alaskan small log mill.

[zenwood]

It will be an Alaskan small log mill.

Can we bring small alaskan logs for milling?

[himzol]

Can we bring small alaskan logs for milling?

Why not, happy to demo.

[ndru]

Sounds like a great idea - a "bring your favourite log" day! I've got a fair bit of room in my front yard if you want to let if rip for a demo. Probably not a good idea to run it in the back due to obnoxious neighbours, though :mad: :mad: :mad:

All I've got to show is some lee valley bits and pieces, mainly the clamps I picked up through the Great Bessey Clamp Rush of aught-five. Haven't even had a chance to use them in anger, yet

[himzol]

Your yard - your call,
I'd hate to be the reason for a neibourhood dispute.

It does get noisy and creats a lot of sawdust. The chainsaw does seem to be louder when in "rip" mode rather than the standard crosscut.

Hearing protection, eye protection and respirators recomended (and insisted upon) for all. otherwise no probs.

Himzo.
