WWJJ WoodWorkers Jerilderie Jaunt Jan 2014

[DaveTTC]

I'm thinking of just making the armour, to scale and thought a log with a wide pipe running through it would take the work out of shaping the parts a bit with limited time. If I can get the time I'll make up some templates to follow. Maybe shooting it was a bit far fetched so I'm thinking drilling the holes and burning them out with a hot poker or something or other. The armour parts could be fixed together with fencing wire and rusty bolts. I'm also thinking that an angle grinder with a couple of shaping attachments would be a better way to shape the parts but that relies on power which I'm not sure will be available. Anyway, it could be a good thing to have a go at and be even better if it included the involvement of others.

there will be power available.

I would love to see some collaborative work such as this. Where possible I would like people to bring tools with the goal of doing some woodwork. There may be some tools available to share etc.

Another thing I'm thinking of doing is getting some big poles that can be carved.

There is a replica model of the suit of armour here in Jerilderie so you can probably use that as a refference, we can take as many pics as you like and take measurements.

Maths & Money aside, I still want to be able to go to the T&WWW Show.

This may not quite be on par with the T&WWW shows but should be enjoyable non the less your more than welcome to attend.

Years ago someone decided to start a ute muster, the Deni ute muster has moved from strength to strength.

the Jerilderie Jaunt could do just the same, Ive posted here but Neil has not commented on it yet, Ive contacted but his inbox may have been full and ive PM'ed Jim.

The success of the ute muster came down to not the organisation though it and advertising played a part. Success came down to those that attended

Success of the T&WWW shows comes down largely to the support of the public - us

As Neil said earlier, if he is hardly covering costs of accommodation and food one must question whether the effort is worth it.

Neil

If there were a swap meet section - big area, where people could not only buy and trade but bring their tools, work demonstrate as well you may find people rushing to you and jim and other store holders to buy equipment I know insurance issues can become an issue to but there are ways around that

Hey Dave, I think you have a top Idea there mate, & I hope it goes well for you & every body that can attent, but I dont think I will be able to make it. Ill keep an open mind at this stage though & see what shapes up.

OK Steve, see what happens, if you want to know anymore just let me know

For those interested in Wood Carving, There are 2 woodcarvers I have been in touch with outside of this forum who have said they will attend.

Both are quality carvers and willing to demonstrate and share their knowledge.

How long is this running for again Dave?

Just trying to get it set in my head, don't really want to replicate the armour thing exactly, the copying thing has been done, and donner how many times before, would rather produce something in the spirit of Ned, it's hard to steer away from the armour though, thinking the breast plate should have breasts, just throwing a few thoughts out ok.

[DJ’s Timber]

Put me down as a maybe, might even be tempted to bring one of the sawmills with me if there is timber around to be milled but then again it'll most likely be to hot for milling

[springwater]

I can feel a VIC bus comin on

[tea lady]

Put me down as a definite maybe. Will bring a lathe and associated things.

Friday Saturday Sunday, and if some wanna stay sunday night that is fine, I imagine I will have to organize cleanup Monday morning, no idea how Im gonna do that by myself - any volunteers

I reckon I can source some timber for milling

Sounds like a plan, make sure you bring a tandem trailer or another truck for the tools

Onya tea lady. glad to have ya, bring that stick thing ya made with a round end on it and some strings, my son plays stringed instruments On that note bring some of your other work and we might have an exhibition as well

In Feb 2014 I'll still be in WA, if all goes to plan, sorry

If it is a success though, perhaps it will continue and I'd be in for Feb 2015 on the way to Wagga Wagga, on the way sort of anyway

thats a shame, would love to have met you, have heard you are the pen guru

If 2014 dont work we'll just have to wait till 2015, I hope to make this an annual thing. Spread the word in Perth

I'm gonna try and get on to Telstra and see if they will sponsor an internet link so we can have skype and chat to people all over Australia and the world for those who cant come
