    Definitely rig bound that weekend ndru......sitting here dead in the water waiting on equipment from US/Vietnam, this hitch is turning into a 6 weeker. Might have to have a woodies meet up at the nut farm I commit myself to when I get home.

    For me this could be a "kill two birds with one stone" event.

    I have two trees at my house that I want to take down. One is an old apricot tree (attracts rats during fruit season) and one is a young liquidambar (beautiful tree but too close to the house and is spreading roots under the foundations :mad.

    Assuming himzol can make it, it would be a great outcome for me if we could bring down at least the liquidambar in the front yard down and turn it into smallish boards. That tree is small but large enough to produce some small boards. I don't want the boards - others can have them. I'm also happy to clean up the smaller rubbish (eg branches, twigs). Is apricot good for anything. It definitely isn't a straight tree. Neither tree would be tricky to bring down, just needs someone with a little chainsaw skill.
    This time, we didn't forget the gravy.

    You're quite welcome, Tony. Experience isn't my strong point, either.

    Sorry to hear about your predicament, but just think of the all that pocket money for the next Mik attack! I'm sure there'll be another opportunity for us all to meet up later in the year.

    Yes, definitely the 13th of August, starting at 1p. I'll PM all who said they will attend with location details later today.

    A few people have asked if they need to bring anything along.

    As stated earlier, I'm happy to lay on snags, bread, onions, sauce, paper towels, etc for a sausage sizzle. I should have enough chairs for all, but it wouldn't hurt to bring a chair for yourself just in case. I'm hoping we can stay outside, but we can certainly go inside if the weather turns ugly.

    The only thing to bring along are your prefence of drinks. There is a pub within 10 min walk of my place. I'll put out glasses and have some ice in our laundry to keep drinks cold.

    It would be good if you could perhaps bring along something to show and tell or maybe share (eg magazines, books, videos, tips) although this is not a prerequisite - just something for conversation.

    Hi again

    Just letting everyone who is attending tomorrow that it is still "all systems go" at my place. It looks like the weather is going to be kind to us.

    Looking forward to meeting you all!

    Cheers

    Default workshop setup advice

    Seeing as there are a few people heading down this way today, is there any chance that I can have some advice on my pending workshop setup. I live just off of Finnis Street, Marion, so less than a km from ndru. I have a decent size shed which is storing some items, but most of it can be used for the workshop.
    I have done a little research online and through some books, but an experienced eye would really help to point out where the bandsaw should go, etc.

    I will be coming along to ndru's place at around 1pm, so will meet you all there, but if anyone is around earlier, or can stay a little later, then any advice would be appreciated. pm, or email [email protected] if you have the time and are around.


    cheers

    Hi Folks,

    My apologies,
    As I thought I might struggle to get there this weekend. Bloody cold in Melbourne last week.
    I only just got back and am happy to just be a vegetable in front of the fire for a day or so after a full on week of trying to install X-ray equipment in Melbourne. It doesn't help when you get a faulty X-ray tube from the manufacturer. I hope everybody has a great time and I hope to see some pics shortly. I will keep the 10th of Sept free for my part of the "show and tell".
