Kiewa Turn On /Get Together 2009 -The Pics.

[tea lady]

Well here they are folks. I decided to start a new thread cos I got HEAPS of pics, and some of them serve as a mini WIP.

Joining us for the "Inaugural Kiewa Turn On /Get Together" were members of the local Albury Wadonga turning club as well as WWF members. (Even a few wives attended. ) I drove up on the 28th December so missed the first day of turning. But I did see the remnant of a chunk of Blackwood, and a dint in the roof that apparently was Calm's fault. I arrived just in time to go to "Harry's Place" to watch try and stall the VB36 again and gaze at some of his wood collection. We also had a great BBQ with lots of salad. I think I even saw eat some.

Insert appropriate music here! Maybe that theme from 2001- a Space Odyssey

The bowl blank was quite a nice spalted piece, so it was decided to try using the "sabre system" bowl saver. (Was that what it was called ? ) Closely supervised by Jim Carrol.

More research necessary perhaps. The tenon gave way. Looks like it wanted to be a shallower bowl.

Its big brother turned up to try and REALLY sort out. A rather burly bit of red gum.

Later in the evening a special presentation was made to Ken, of a new Super Man cape, cos the other one was obviously broken. (Although if this is how he wore the other one no wonder it didn't work. ) I think its getting hung up next to the ladders so that it is always handy for those hard to reach places.

You're looking well

looks like everyone enjoyed themselves - it's good to put some more faces to names.

what's the chances of something coming off one of them lathes and taking out some of that pottery lining the shelves?

Thanks for the piccies - I'll change my name back to Nick from Thomas

Wake up to what ??? you bought the wrong lathe should have been a Mini lathe

As for finishing stop being so slack and finish it then take it in to Deb and you'll be popular to

[KenW]

I left alone with the VB for ten minutes and he broke another bowl.
Why did the Red Gum bowl unscrew?

Jeff and Annie did a great job as hosts, a good time was had by all.
