Brummie Bash-09.Sept 5th.

[Blister]

TWO WEEKS to go :shock:
Getting closer.Westonbirt next week than Bashday the weekend after
So it looks like we will be doing varied things on the day from Photography to Hollowing but again if anyone wants to see or do something let us know.
I will be opening the shop at 9ish so we can get a good day in,but we will just see you when we see you
Lunch will be around 1ish and there will no doubt be plenty of tea/coffee throughout the day so i will still have me little helpers again

Paul

Can you do a updated list on who is attending ?

and are there any spaces left ?

I cant come as I am off to see my Irish agent :wink:

And will attend a turning demo by Glen Lucas and 2 other top Irish turners

so hopefully will get loads of photos

Hope all goes well for you on the day and you all have a fun and safe day :lol:

Looking forward to seeing all the photos of the day

Thank you Eugene.
This is what the Bashes are all about Eugene.Just to give members a chance to come along and iron out those problems with hopefully more experienced turners who will be on hand to ask
Watch out for piccys next week

All,

I'm bringing along my hegner multicut 1 scrollsaw to the bash at the weekend. Unfortunately I haven't got round to buying some new blades for it. This means I've only got the one that came with it (and it was second hand). Has anybody got a blade or two they could bring along?

I should have some sycamore prepared by the weekend ( if the thicknesser doesn't bite my fingers off again ). I'll also print off some simple patterns to fix on for anybody who wants a try.

Cheers,

Dave

Of course I do but I simply can't get there this year. Believe me if there was any way I would

Here is the type of blade i have.
They are very fine with lots of tpi,and is 133mm long.Though i can't see why they couldn't be cut down.There is no pin.

Well bashers just a few days to go and the weather isn't looking good for us this year
We've had torrential showers,thunder and lightening today,and they are saying the next few days are going to be worse. :shock:
SUMMER :roll:
Anyhow,i've been having a tidy round the shop and have been cutting up some timber and have now got about half a dozen bags of firewood :shock: so if anyone would like this this weekend for the burner just let me know else it will be down t'tip.

Edit-:
Bags of offcuts now spoken for

 

[Jenx]

Come on Pete.You know you wanna :lol:

Come on Pierre ... I wanted to see how the rustic stuff's done ....
Fire yourself up to Brum ...
You only live once ! :wink:

 

[Bodrighy]

You can persuade me easily but not my bank manager so unless I sell a heck of a lot of stuff in the next few days it i won't happen. I think I am on my own down here in Cornwall though there are some flatwokers. Pity or we could do a bash down this end sometime. I'll look at the pics and wish

Pete

 

[Jenx]

Get everyone's "falsers" under the pillow between now and Friday Pete ! :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's still a day or two before the weekend... and
"'tain't over till the chubby lass warbles" as they say .... still time for some good fortune to smile upon you yet.
Be great if it does :wink:

Has anybody bought one of the new Robert Sorby Sovereign handles? If so could you please bring it along on Saturday. I've held one but would love to try turning with one. I'm considering buying one at Yandles next weekend.

Cheers,

Dave
