Lambourn bash - aka the brummie bash re-located (updated)

[boysie39]

Miles, just like to wish you a very good day at your Bash.
It's not easy to step into an already established BIG DAY but I'm sure you will cope very well and the only noticable differance will be the venue.

Best Regards have a great day. Boysie

[Oakbear]

Still game if that's ok!?

 

[miles_hot]

any ideas on what you all want to see etc?

 

[big soft moose]

[big soft moose]

its ended and i didnt get it - it went for £217 in the end , which is still a bargain - i'd set the snipe at £210 ahh well

 

[big soft moose]

joking aside I doubt the lathe will be a problem - people who demonstrate a lot often have light weight lathes that they use for shows etc so yours should be fine.

Hi Miles,

I'll be bringing along all my kit, including my little demo lathe so I'm happy to demo anything that anyone wants to see. Requests anyone?? I think fruit has been mentioned but that won't take long :wink:

Cheers

Richard

Goodness, isn't that often the way!
I'll have to work out someway of sorting the lathe issue as whilst the sight of people attempting to demo on my Perform stuck up in the air will be amusing it might put a bit of a kink on the day

Good grief that's not something that I'd expect to work! The sight of Mark chasing his work around the garage would be something followed by the collapse of the workmate - surely?

Thanks Richard - fruit would be interesting; I think you also mentioned a skew masterclass as well?

Miles

 

[Oakbear]

Looking forward to the bash guys!

Skew techniques would be great.
I'm embarassed to admit it often stays in the tool rack due to my nerves using it!

You can get a DVD titled " The Taming of the Skew " from Turners Retreat

The Taming of the Skew Ref: DVDSKEW
The mastering the skew chisel is one of the greatest challenges facing woodturners the world over.
In this DVD Mike explains, demonstrates, and demystifies every aspect of the skew. You will understand why the skew catches, and while this DVD does not promise to entirely eliminate catches from your repertoire, you will have far fewer after watching Mike's lesson.. 3 hours.
Price: £19.95
Including VAT at 17.5%


I have the dvd and recon its good value :wink:

so long as hes not turning something stupidly off centre it shouldnt vibrate that much - theres not that much difference between a workmate , and the pressed steel legs that these normally come with - in fact a workmate may be stronger.

Miles, as far as the bash is concerned it's a shame that I don't still live where I did, in Stroud. I would have been there like a shot!

I have to admit though that I wouldn't swap Stroud for here now at any price!

Good luck both with the bash and the weather and I hope that you will have a beer or several for me Devises best if poss, 6X!!!
