Worcestershire Bash-3rd September

[Peter Sefton]

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

Thanks from me to Miles Hot for getting this on the agenda.

To Peter for the generous offer of his "palatial" venue

And to Malc for taking on co-ordination of the event.

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and an enjoyable educational day.

I can bring along the Beal buffing system if you want a comparison to the chestnut version. If anyone is interested I can also bring the Foredom tool (power carving)

Hi,

I would like to attend also.

I can bring the following hollowing stuff if it is useful:
Sorby Stewart system
Rolly 1/2" and 5/8" tools
Kelton 3/16, 1/2" and 3/4"
Exocet 1/2"
Woodcut straight tool

[mikec]

Hi
I can bring along the Sorby RS2000k set and a full set of Sorby Texturing tool and cutters. I also have a Proxxon with an Arbortech cutter and a number of homemade hollowing tools.

I could also bring along a SIP mini lathe and stand if required.

Regards,

mikec

 

[miles_hot]

I was going to offer to bring the Beal system however Colin beat me to it. I guess I could bring a tormek if people wanted to try it out?

In terms of what I'd like to see demo'd (assuming we can find people happy to do it):

Pen Turning
Use of colour - types of stains (water / spirit), techniques for applying (rubbing, blowing etc) and how it plays against texturing etc
On the subject of texture we've been seeing some pretty amazing stuff this year - can any one give hints and tips?

I have some water based stains I can bring along if someone needs them to help demo. I can also bring some metal powder and show inlay however it's hardly worth a demo! (mix, apply, dry, sand!!)

[The Shark]

I have been asked to clarify a couple of points for those who have said they are attending, and anyone else who may wish to join in:

1. A list of who is bringing what kit, and what kit/demos have been requested if anyone is prepared to help, is being maintained as the third post on this topic.

2. Eating arrangements will be clarified nearer the time when we have a better of ideas of numbers attending.

[Paul.J]

Looking good so far folks
I could bring along the Lyle Jamieson hollowing rig,not sure if it will fit on the lathes Peter has.,but could show how it works :?:
I also could bring the Woodcut Pro-form straight and curved hollowing tools.
I would like to be shown how to use the Skew if anyone fancies that I feel it's a tool i'm missing out on.
I would also suggest everyone to bring along a face shield if you fancy having a go at some turning Good point Paul, added to members bring along list

 

[CHJ]

As Peters Insurance cover requires that all electrical equipment over 12 months old has a current PAT test sticker Tony (T. Walton) has generously offered to make the trip and bring his kit with him.


Anyone bringing mains powered kit along will need to see Tony for him to give it the thumbs up before any of it is powered up.


For those that don't know what is involved then This Pat testing Info. link may be of interest.

Hi All, it’s a 3 and a half hour drive for me but I will be there.

I will drive up the day before and stays somewhere for the night so I will be ready for the morning start.

Pat testing, consider it done, I do pat testing and will bring my Seaward Primtest 350 with me.

I’m also happy to do a colouring demo and to do some hands on with the skew for those that wish to learn.

Is there a compressor in the workshop?

Tony

 

[Paul.J]

Don't forget the Sale and swap of tools,timber etc.

I'll be travelling past Birmingham airport on the day, so could give you a lift if you like?

I'll also have Paul J in the car, and it looks like he is taking half his shop with him, so I hope you travel light :wink:
