Thanks to Al for hosting the BBQ. Had a ball and even came back with more timber than I started with
, thanks to all that donated stuff
. Here's the few pics I took, using my mum's software to reduce photos, sorry not quite what I am used to.
I'll leave it to others to identify names etc as I am hopeless.
Thanks again.Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

'Twas a pleasant way to spend a day, even if the weather didn't want to play along.
(I still reckon you could've got away with taking home more wood, Neil... perhaps stuffing the pockets of an old Army great-coat wouldn't have worked, but I'm damned sure you could've stuffed a couple of Iain's Camphour Laurel slabs and more of Groggys RTedgum blanks into a back-pack and claimed it as a parachute "as required by your cheap-asre flight insurance.")
I came home with more than I expected, too... bought some pen blanks off DJ and Al very kindly laid on some piano keys that I'll hazard to say are true Ebony and Ivory, along with some assorted timbers including Huon Pine and Black Heart Sassafras. Choice! Also took home one of Dai Sensei's custom awls and some timber he brought with him, a copy of the Polisher's Handbook and a belly full of snags, chops 'n muffins.
(Betchas didn't know Neil cooks a mean choccy muffin!)
Thanks Al, for putting up with us. Somehow I felt right at home... all it needed was a roof overhead and it'd have been just like my shed.

And it was evident that winter is here or at least very close....
no prizes for guessing who these belong toJust got home and tried some of Watsons home brewed barley wine, it's a mean drop and I'm not sure if I like it or not, will have to go back for a few second opinions on the 'Drop Bear Dribble'.
SWMBO tried a drop and said it is the strongest Chardonnay she has ever tried.
Aaaahhhh, the joys of fermented drop bear dribble......Last edited by Iain; 20th May 2007 at 07:27 PM. Reason: Watson's gone Holme....

Guys, the pleasure was all mine, thank you for making the effort to travel so far to meet other forumites.
Im glad you all enjoyed it.
Uncle Neil supplied some give aways, so people went home with pens, I still cant work out why it has a red light in it?, some Ubeaut polish and EEE, and 2 lucky people went home with the Polishers Hand Book.
Thanks Neil, Im sure they will appreciate the gifts.
We toasted Auld Bassons life with some fine red brought by Watson ( thanks Noel), I later poured the remainder of the bottle on the fire so it will be waiting for Auld in heaven.
I only lit the fire because I knew Neil was from Qld and may have felt the cold.
