Brummie Bash-20th September.

[Paul.J]

Well after a lot of thinking ooing and aarring,i,well we swmbo that is have now decided to have a bash here in Brum
So if you are interested let me know
No doubt that dates will be an issue so if you could let me know we can try and arrive at a date that suits most if not all :shock:Though September would be good :wink:
Been a relative newbie myself,any expert or professional help/advice would be appreciated on the day with demos.
Numbers will have to be limited to around 15,so first come etc.
So what d'ya think :?:

I'd love to be there Paul if dates and circumstances allow \/

 

[PowerTool]

Same here

Am on call at work alternate weeks,but can swap to be free virtually any weekend (although second half of August is out,due to my holiday cover at work getting married in Greece,so September sounds better for me also.)

Would be great to meet up wiv some of you. If there's room for a little one, put me on the list, September sounds OK to me. As long as 'er indoors don't want to go away in the caravan at that time. :roll:

Paul, Wouldent I love to be at that, but I am hopeing to go to the Westonbirt show,but am haveing trouble with Ferries. They are talking of cutting services because of oil costs.
We have a Daughter buried in Lodge Hill Cemetry at Kings Norton,and we visit when ever we are over. So between the ferry problems and arranging with the Grandchildren It would be impossible to give an answer. But I hope tou have a fantastic day whenever it is .
PS I have been known to gatecrash but I would give you a PM beforehand. :shock: :lol: :roll: Regards Boysie

 

[Paul.J]

Still plenty of room Pete,it will be a pleasure to see you again.
You know where we are,just a pity it's sooooo far to travel.Should be worth it though

So we seem to have some of the more experienced members coming
Would anyone like to do a demo or two on grinding for example which seems to be a problem to beginners.
I have the Sorby jig,to show,which i am just coming to terms with,i think,but if some one would like to bring there own set up or even doing it freehand it will be worthwhile i should think.
If anyone else are having any other turning problems we could also try and sort those out on the day.

I can do a demo on how to make your tools short in record time :lol:

Like most of us newbies I suspect that a sharpeing demo would be a God send. I still do it free hand and it works after a fashion but every time I get it right ( by accident usually ) I can really feel the difference

Chris you are both welcome,and if you don't mind doing a demo with the Pro Sharpener than that will be great

 

[Anonymous]

You can count me in Paul. Now I know what it is I can bring my hamlet hollowing tool. I'm sure I can come up with some other stuff by the time the bash comes around.

Cheers,

Dave

heh heh... thats ace !


Paul - I'd love to try and make it to that ( Bash )... its a wee while away, and as such, a little difficult to 'cast in stone' at the moment... do you think it'd be ok if I could try and get along ?
I'd love to meet some of you guys and learn something !
Flights from Aberdeen to B'ham are dirt-cheap on BMIBaby, especially if booked a little in advance, and car-hire is easy to make happen from there, to complete the journey.

I can demonstrate how to dig a gouge into a bowl, causing it to bust the foot that took you 20 minutes to fashion, and have the entire piece part company with the chuck and direct itself towards one's face... cause I appear to be good at that :wink: Its a 'skill' that most of you will probably have lost some time ago !

Would it be 'in order' to ask to come along ?

 

[PowerTool]

Anybody asked Gill if she wants to bring her scrollsaw along,and do a demo?

Andrew

 

[Paul.J]

Dave you are welcome

Jenx you are more than welcome We are only 10 minutes from the airport.
Swmbo was talking to her sister only yesterday saying how cheap a flight to Scotland is £4.99 :shock: can't be right,can it :?:

Gill if you would like to then by all means it would be great

That'd be great I think Gill was hoping to come last year but couldn't make it. Be really interesting as I think she was hoping to investigate how her work could be incorporated into ours.

[Paul.J]

Just to let you all know the date set for the Brummie Bash will be 20th September

 

[Jenx]

Paul.. I'm doing the flight to Brum on the 20th of this month.. BMI Baby and SWMBO's right... I was £2.99 !
( Taxes etc were another £20.00 ) but even at that, bargain !
I've to go pick up a new car I've bought in Kings Lynn... could have flown to Norwich, but that was £140, and either way.. a hire car was needed, so thats another £65.

Just in the process of changing job .. start with new company at the beginning of July, so I'm hoping that a request for a couple of days off in September won't be too much of an 'ask' by that time ! :wink:

Really hope to make it... be brilliant to meet some 'real turners' and pick up some hints !
