OK... we're down to crunch time! Let's see, where do we stand.... :eusa_thin
1. Lathes - we'll have two midi lathes (Woodguy's and mine)
2. Turning tools - I know I'm bringing some, and Clay said he would. I'll have just a roughing gouge and maybe skew. Anyone else is welcome to bring theirs.
3. Grinder - I have an 8" grinder with a Wolverine jig I can bring.
4. Mandrels - we'll have one for each lathe (Woodguy's and mine). I better check to make sure my bushings are the right size! 8-O
5. Kits - I have seen a few people in this thread mention that they had kits they could bring. I will supply probably about 40 of these - will that be too much? Not enough? Regardless,
please bring some slimline kits if you have them -- the more the merrier!!! :eusa_danc
6. Blanks - I don't have a drill press (yet
), and we won't have one at the show, so we need pre-drilled blanks which already have the tubes glued in them and trimmed to length ready to turn. Clay said he would provide 20 of these. Nick (NZAPP1) mentioned he had 10-20 he could bring. Jeff said he had some blanks to donate, but someone needs to glue & trim them for the show. Anyone else (whether you're turning or not)
please bring some blanks to the show!!!
7. Sandpaper - Clay and Nick have said they will bring multiple grits and micromesh.
8. Finish - Clay and Nick said they will bring supplies for 3 step and CA finish.
9. Signs - done.
10. Pen assembly tool - Clay is bringing his.
So, the way I see it, what we need most are pen kits and prepared blanks. So, anyone coming to the show -
please bring some kits and blanks if you can!!! We need plenty of raw materials to work with, to create a nice "sweat shop" atmosphere!
Are we missing anything else???
