Woodturner's dilemna

[Allan at Wallan]

Tonight is my mate's turn to drive his car
with me as a passenger, to our woodturning club.

He did not go to the last session and is therefore
unaware that tonight we will be practising our
skills with the dreaded skew chisel.

He is absolutely petrified of the skew chisel.

Therefore do I tell him beforehand and perhaps
have to drive myself as he will refuse to go.

Do I tell him as we are driving there and stand
the risk of hitchhiking as he returns home, or

Do I wait till we get there and stand the chance
of getting a skew chisel thrown at me and have
to walk home anyway.

Allan age can be your friend Old Timers always forget things plead this and you'll be fine

But ask for his car keys first as you left something in the car

[tea lady]

Remove all sharp objects from him and be holding his keys. Say "Oh by the way..."


Hope he gets a chance to get over his fears.

Tell him not to be a wuss. Skews are feared and
hated the world over.

My skews don't understand me but either but I battle
on anyway.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I dunno what all the fuss is about. There's nothing to fear about a Skew ChiDAMN!!... so long as you're careful about using 'em, a skewBUGGRIT... OK, they can be a little bit tricky, but a skAAARGH!

I trust that you're prepared to walk home?

So how did the skew night at your club go. Did ya walk home? Maybe you're not home yet.

Any tips for the rest of us?

Now Thursday the 5th and just finished walking home.
It is a fair way from Yarrambat to Wallan. On my
arrival the missus said, "Musta been a long meeting".

As for tips ... yeah, be nice to your Mum.
