Melbourne Forum Get Together May 2017.

I was just about to say the same thing..... Maybe this (slightly) warmer weather is helping, and the daylight savings about to kick in will help even more.....
A ripper turn out and hopefully a sign of how the meetings will start going stronger. Great to see a few new faces (new to me - but I can't make every meeting so I'm sure they have been there before).
It was that busy that I didn't even get a chance to actually say hi to everyone!!
Maybe we need to start wearing 'hello, my name is' stickers

Well done guys as im not sure about the rest of you but these meetings help me find motivation to actually get in the shed so I have something new to discuss next meeting....

All those envious, stop being so, put one foot in front of the other and come along. Especially with the next couple of months being at exclusive (exclusive being open to forumites and people interested in all things crafty) venues. Doug's shed and Matt's....err.... Shed

[Sturdee]

It was indeed a great gathering, good company and lots of things to discus.

BTW Gab the wood that I seem to be allergic to is Cotoneaster, first time I used it it made me sneeze, the second time it was worse and there will never be a third time.

Or maybe it was the promise of the opportunity to view the "exclusive photos of my bench build" that brought in the crowds. Well maybe not.

There was a wide range of skills and experience present among the attendees and as far as I am aware a great night was had by all. You could see synergy happening everywhere as people discussed ideas.

I had to endure a 2.5 hour drive to get there in the gridlocked traffic and it was still worth it. The trip home took considerably less than an hour.

Thanks Gabriel for promoting the upcoming "open shed days" in October and November.

Dale, you have created a little problem for me though. I might have to advance my blacksmithing skills because Jools wants a little hammer like the one you brought for show and tell.

Cheers

Experts on turning 4 sided PLATTERS would be even more helpful

Expert - a Has-been Drip Under Pressure

When I was young and innocent learning the language as an immigrant I was told that an "ex" is a has-been and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure. So an "expert" is a has-been drip under pressure.

So I think I'll qualify to help you Bob.

Also may be because I've turned four small 4 sided bowls/platters and two 3 sided bowls. Still planning to do a few 5 sided ones.

Do you want me to bring them to show you?

Peter.

[Oldgreybeard]

Please bring them Peter, My attempt will surely make yours look the goods.

Very interested in your 3 sided as I am trying to figure out how to make a 3 sided hollow form box with lid and finial. I will bring a round form of what I am wanting to turn - far easier than trying to explain.

Just the other day I made a list of the things I know nothing about. I just checked to be sure - and four sided platters is definitely on the list.

I am not sure of our availability at this stage, there's still too many things happening that are out of my influence. It would be nice to make it if we can as I will be away for the November one.

If we get there we get there.
