As I said above Colin, if it's a woodturning bash we will get to meet on the day as I'll almost certainly be there. If it a general/flat bash I wont be as I have no interest in flat work or anything other than woodturning whatsoever.

Steve


As far as I am aware we have no interest from others than the wood turners apart from myself, so I do hope all the original turners can come along as it is your day and I am just keen to learn, if time allows I may be able to cover setting up and using the bandsaw if people are interested if not I will just relax and enjoy the turning

Hope to see you all next week Peter

Hi Peter,

I am in and my 10 and 8 year-olds, who have both started to learn to use the lathe, would like to come too. I can vouch for their behaviour and assure you they fully understand the importance of health and safety, etc. I would keep them with me the whole time.

If that is OK, please let me know. Likewise, if they aren't welcome, I need to know in advance.

Many thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg

Sorry to be a bore but the School's insurance only covers us for over 18's. Hope you can still make it on your own, and pass on your experiences from the day to your youngsters ...

Cheers

Peter

Hi Greg
If they are not working they should be OK, if this is agreeable by the other turners is I am only the host

Cheers Peter
 
Hi Peter,

Thank you for your reply.

Please can I put it out to the rest of your, then?

I fully understand that no-one under 18 can take any part in any practical activity.

I also fully understand if any of you are uncomfortable with an 8 and 10 year old attending to watch and learn from you guys. If you do have any objections, could you please let me know as soon as possible, as I do not want to drive there and potentially offend anyone.

Many thanks,

Greg
 
As far as I'm concerned if they are interested in turning then they are more than welcome, how else are we to encourage new recruits to the hobby/craft.

I agree

Sadly it appears that schools treat lathes as museum pieces, not allowed to be touched in these bizarre days of "elf n safety".
 
Hello Peter

I will be present on Saturday and am looking forward to putting some faces to names used in the Forum.

As some members may know I specialise in turning decorative wooden boxes and to achieve the required hollow top and smooth bottom I have produced a dedicated "box chuck" that covers all (most?) eventualities.

Actualy the current item is v.III.

It is something akin to a mongrel (Vicmarc body, Nova button plates and a range of aluminium, resin and mdf jaws) but it does save a lot of production time.

If anyone is interested I would be delighted to include it in my demonstrations on Saturday during which we may come up with modifications towards v.IV ?

Best regards
Chris
 
Hi Peter,

I'm not very good at planning in advance (!) so hadn't said anything earlier in case I needed to back out, but looks like I could make it and would love to come on Saturday if room for another ?

Cheers, Paul

Worcestershire Bash-3rd September

Hi Guys
I will be hosting the woodturning bash this year at my furniture making school on Saturday 3rd September 2011.
Peter Sefton Furniture School
The Threshing Barn, Welland Road, Upton Upon Severn, Worcestershire, WR8 0SN
http://www.peterseftonfurnitureschool.com/
We are about three miles from the Three Counties Show ground (if that helps)

I am also holding an open day here on Saturday 9th July, with the chance of wining a free short course check out the website to enter. So please do come along and see us if you are free.
http://www.peterseftonfurnitureschool.com/open-day/

Here is some of the information I have copied from the other thread (The next bash) sorry for repeating myself, but please do check that thread for more information unless someone cares to update the relevant bits.


I think we can accommodate up to 30 people, so for those that are coming, please can you email me with your name and contact details so that I can keep track of numbers, and email you with any general information about the arrangements [email protected]
If you have other lathes and kit you want to bring just let me know (as long as it complies to H&S and is PAT tested).

We have here a small Kitchen for our students which has hot water and a sink, fridge, microwave, kettle etc. and seating inside the classroom for about 8. So for a general cup of tea during the day and a bit of chat, we are all sorted. We'll provide the tea, coffee and milk.

For eating arrangements, it may be an idea to have the BBQ/American supper idea where we could each bring along something for the grill such as a pack of beef burgers, sausages, bread rolls, etc. We have a decent BBQ here but it might need someone to bring along another if numbers really grow. I will shout out if we do.

We have plenty of room in the paddock outside to gather and eat or if the weather turns, we have a large car port off the workshop. Suggest you bring your own drink and a chair to sit in. (Some photos of the School workshops and outside areas are attached – as you can see there is plenty of room for us all and parking).

Very happy to provide the venue and for someone else to co-ordinate the eating arrangements etc., and I'll fall in with you (as I am rather time poor). I’ll try to keep up with the thread between now and the Bash, but if there is anything I need to know, perhaps you could email me at [email protected] to keep me in the loop.

Cheers

Peter

Just thought I would show this info again, we know we have lost a few members along the way so I am not sure who is now bringing what it may be worth doing a recap. So you are all getting the best out of the day. Please feel free to post if you’re coming and what you are bringing
Cheers Peter
 
Have managed to sort a car, so I will be coming along on Saturday..
If anybody has any old chisels or bits and bobs that you would consider selling cheap that would be suitable for me to get started let me know and bring them along.
Looking forward to joining the "round worlders" to see what is possible.

Si.
 
Just to confirm I will be attending tomorrow but not staying all day, I'll be there in the morning for a few hours.

If anyone who is attending is interested I'll have with me a Sorby 855H hollowing tool which I'm looking to sell. For further details please PM me, DO NOT reply in this thread. I'd rather sell it like this than mess about with P&P

Cheers

Steve :)
 
Hi guys,
I've been talking to my friend chris Eagles tonight about this woodturners bash and I was hoping it would be alright if I popped in tomorrow for a look around (sorry its so last minute).
I'm keen on everything woodturning and it sounds right up my street to meet a group of like minded people.
Hope its not a problem
Kev
