    Default Hunter forumites gtg

    As Dai Sensai posted in the Blue Mountains GTG thread, he is visiting my place before heading off to the mountains. He also added a subtle hint about a Hunter GTG.

    After talking with him, the only day available would be Saturday 9th February, SO.....

    Happy to have a GTG here (pm for details/address/phone number etc.) starting earlyish as Neil will be heading off late in the afternoon to get to the Mountains for an evening nap and an early start. I have a few lathes available.

    Not sure of food details, but perhaps something similar to Sunday's. We have plenty of hot water and will provide tea, coffee, milk etc. BYO lunch and other drinks, like coke etc. A BBQ is also available for those who wish to cook something.

    NCArcher has kindly offered to forward this to members of the Hunter Forum.

    An indication of those able to attend would be handy, and maybe some fold-up chairs. We live on 13.5 acres so plenty of room for parking.

    Will add more details soon, if I can think of any. Margaret will sort me out there I'm sure.

    Cheers, Paul

    I'm a tentative at this stage, need to check shifts closer to the date. I assume it will be fine though.

    Anyone interested in a wood swap for the day? Pen blanks maybe or somewhat similar, I was thinking... bring a nice blank and into a bucket and get the one that comes out? Bring 1 bring 3? Maybe for the pen turners involved it should be specified burls or not?? Got plenty of burl blanks I am willing to share in some such arrangement.

    I can cover the sensai if need be...

    I have some pen timber I want to share on the day so will be bringing some up to cut, small stuff as my band saw is down ATM. I will also be bringing some of the reel seats I turn to show off, I hope some of you will be bringing pieces to be looked at.

    this looks to be a real treat for me, being a bloke that does not associate in wood circles. I hope to get some valuable info and some 1st hand experience with the lathes.

    I am also a bit excited to see Wood Nuts cabinet making workshop as turning is a sideline to my slab work. I prefere big lumps of timber, slabs and rough edges etc... but if I can be persuaded to make "fine furniture" it wouldn't be a bad thing. I'm gagging to see what is involved and have a go.

    cheers

    Default would be the one day I can't make it

    I'll have to miss out too, thanks to a long-arranged-can't-get-out-of engagement Shame, I would have liked the chance to meet you blokes who make good stuff from good wood, unlike myself! Guess you'll have to wait a bit longer to meet this powertool using termite...
