Friday lunch prattle

[Aussiephil]

In the absence of topic proposers, I suggest we have a general chin wag and maybe we can help Simon out with burning wood

Sadly I may be not able to make this week myself due to a local electron outage that's meant to be all day

Cheers
Phil

7th-century French art Baroque style chit chat subject matter?.

I will play tomorrow as I find it. We are going to Warrnambool for the weekend leaving at 2:30 when Jools finishes work. I have a bit to get through before we go.

If it turns out that I can afford a 40 minute break I might make it.

It might also be that I NEED a 40 minute sit-down by that time.

Or I might get stuck on the roadworks near the ring road on the way home again.

The possibilities are endless.

If I make it, I make it. If not those who make it, enjoy.

i should be there or here. For a topic how about how to cut down on your tools. Do we need all of them?

Considering Phil's outstanding custodianship of The Prattle™ over the holidays, I spoke to him yesterday and he has agreed to be the cat herder going forward.

As I explained to Phil, with my second daughter starting university this year, she has arranged her schedule to have Fridays off. Her being a keen hiker/anything outdoors person, rather then my regular in-the-shed Fridays I'm getting out and about as much as possible together with this time we've been gifted.

That said, I will no doubt be around more in the dead of winter or when the assignment/exam load is high.

It's been a real joy and weekly highlight spending time with you all over the last nine months, and look forward to being able to participate again in the future.

Work commitments mean I can't participate this week, but I should be good for next week.

I'm 80%. Happy to prattle on whatever topic we decide

[Pagie]

Well it wasn't a big turnout this week. Just Simon and me. But we had a good natter about tools and sharpening.

[lyricnz]

On that note, Paige was trying to convince me to give hand tools a go, planes in particular. Here’s what I found in the shed


Looks like a Stanley No 4, a Brilliant, and a no-name. Any of them any good?

And a lie-Nielsen LN271 small router plane, which is the only one I attempted to use.



Found a sharpening thing under some junk. Is that anything?




Next set of questions will be on chisels and sharpening technique

Oh the no-name days Soba on the side

They can all be made to work. Not sure about the sharpening thing, Will have to have a look at it.

[Aussiephil]

Sorry I didn't make it in today, the electrons stayed missing from action and my phone connection is so-so most of the time in the house, data wise at least.

Good to see a couple made it in today.

Cheers
Phil
