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.

    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

    The fact remains, that 97% of all statistics are made up, yet 87% of the population think they are real.

    Default Wood carving

    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.

    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
    Cheers

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

    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
