I'll bring along my thread chasing tools, although someone needs to bring some Boxwood or similar as I'm a bit short at the moment.
I'm sure either me or George (now he's joining the party) can demo how it's done. Best as a hands on, to prove it's not as hard as it looks!!
See you all there!!

i find measuring the female part of the thread more difficult than doing the male but it was defo 6tpi and i'm pretty sure it is 1 1/4" to the crown of the thread.
I had the 2000 and 3000 and i have found a couple of articles on online that also state they had 1 1/4" by 6tpi
but whatever its width at 6tpi its definatley no use at the bash

I've got a 2 x 8" lignum cylinder you can practice on if you like. Last time i tried to turn it i came out in welts where it touched my skin.
Not going near it again unless i'm wearing an NBC suit!
I'm bringing a few slimline kits, prepped blanks and my pen kit if people fancy trying their hand.
Anything else people are short of or want as i'm in my workshop today so can pick up bits and bobs?

Too right - very excited but also starting to sweat a little as due to work at the moment I'm only getting around an hour a night to sort the garage out etc so there's no way it's going to be as clean and tidy as last year's bash
Very much looking forward to seeing you all there.
Miles
I've bought an Axminster grinder so that we've got something other than the Tormek to play with but I forgot to buy a diamond stone dressing / truing thing. Can anyone bring theirs for the day?
