Xmas BarBQ tomorrow out of town at my Mate Jims place.
Sometimes I think Jim runs the treat as a way of getting the huge workshop cleaned up annually. Huge amount of dust removed and blown out weather perfect 28 degrees celcius.
Over in Perth at the Test Cricket its in the 40,s rather them than me.
Jim has been Professional in Wood Turning since 1999 from being a sheep farmer quite a change but man its no picnic for him. One thing he observed to me today he no longer makes pens as part of his living, his observation is that its like the Car manufacturing business too many models, accessories too much choice for the punters. So many fiddly bits to store maintain and find.
Grateful for Jim he shows a group of us in congenial surroundings techniques, methods and speed of operation those items selling at that time, he sells wholesale to galleries from a wide area from here. His philosophy tempers most of us from rushing into commerce rather to enjoy woodworking as a hobby.
Compliments of the season to everyone its right on that time of the year to look back in retrospect.
General Motors Holden are leaving Australia next year other motor makers are as well a trend and sign of the times, Canada pays more than a dollar for each envelope and in the near future will cease door to door deliveries. Always found dealings with Canada entirely expensive and doubtful deliveries either way in and out that country.
Trust the season is kind to all forum members their families and friends.
Kind regards Peter.
