Watcha Dooen at Dooen - 27, 28 & 29 GTG 2017

[DaveTTC]

​2017

Jerilderie Jaunt was held at Dooen and was a real success. This time we are looking at 3 jam packed days
Fri 27
Sat 28
Sun 29

That places it a little over 400 km w / sw of the previous 2



It is about 1/2 way between Adelaide and Melbourne on the northern edge of Horsham.



Not for the faint hearted, this will be the second year at the property and well, lets say she may still be a little rough when it comes to living quarters. I do hope to have some green grass this time round

There is a shed and will be at least 4 lathes on hand to use.



For anyone who wants to rough it there is plenty of room for a swag, tent or caravan.

If you want to or can demonstrate anything over the event please let me know either on here or by PM

What will be

show and tell
Buy, swap, sell & give away
A yarn or three
Food, food and more food
Oppurtunity to use or learn on a lathe
Fire heap challenge
Oldgreybeard may give some photograpgy and photoshop lessons
Maureen is talking of bringing her spinning wheel
Raechell will have her dolls and be happy to show anyone interested

Demo's and Lessons
Plans are to have a morning and afternoon demonstration each of the three days. This is seperate to crafting demo's which may appeal mainly to the women.
I hope to have the following
1) Production Turning
2) Finishing
3) Box making Incra Jig. Doug3030
4) Thread Chasing

Open to other suggestions here above and below

In the crafting section
1) Pyrography
2) Painting (dolls making)
3) Hair Rooting (doll making)
4) Spinning Yarn

There maybe some evening tutorials as well such as photography if we can get oldgreybeard to assist again


What to bring

Anything for the above
A chair
A wood working project/s to do or show off
Metal working as well if so inclined
Areo guard and a hat
Some of your work

Scrap Heap Challenge

There is a heap of fire wood and cut branches as well as sheet material & scrap metal etc. The challenge to make something from that heap. What ever is made must be minimum 90 % from that heap and the scrap metal heap.

Two prizes will be awarded
1st place as judged by those in attendance
1st place as judged by the forum (if I work out how to do a poll. Should 1st both be taken by the same piece then the forums choice award will go to second place. If Springwater makes it he will be allowed to enter the piece he started on last year)

Any ideas or donations as to what the prizes may be are most welome.

Accommodation

Horsham will provide the greatest range and closest accommodation for those who do not wish to rough it. This is a wotif link but feel free to look up locations by other means
https://www.wotif.com/Hotel-Search#d...ria,+Australia


The house would be on offer but not sure where I will be with the Reno's

Any demos or workshops are more than welcome as would be a lesson on how to use a mill or metal lathe.

Please let us know your level of interest in attending.

If you have special dietary needs you can bring your own or let me know and if I can I will accommodate.

If you want to bring anything to contribute to the supplies you are welcome to do so. As some are travelling some distance this is by no means expected.
