forgemaster Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 OK so how many weeks to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratel10mm Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Too many! Sorry I didn't say goodbye Phil, I didn't realise you were on your way when I saw you in town. Thanks for the invite to your smithy, but I was so stuffed with the man flu that was going round I thought it best not to stop & maybe pass it on. I had a great time, learned loads & made new friends. Bring on Get Hammered 2012! And seeing as it'll be the fifth one, I think we should do something special. Anyone got an idea or 2?

Dale Russell Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Phil , about 50 weeks ( maybe ) Matt , thanks for the cold mate , really needed it .... NOT ! As for somethin' " special & ideas " , more frontin' up would be " nice " . From 39 last yr ta 17 this yr is a bit of a let down Still gotta talk the MOON MAN inta lettin' us ave another 1 , mite need more then just me naggin' in his ear about it Anyway , was a good time had by all , pity i stuffed up the feed Saturday nite , not puttin' me hand up ta do that again ... Hopefully Nick will bung up some of the vids he took over the weekend , the last 1 with MOONY , Andrew O'C , Nick & Jim makin' a 10 kg/ 22 lb ball swage under MOON'S press came out GREAT Not sure if any 1 got pictures / vid of Phil makin' handled punches under MOONY'S 55 kg / 1 ctw Anyang , sure made it look easy Lot's of other stuff bein' made either on the 9 kg / 20 lb or 15 kg / 33 lb Anyangs , the 10 station forge with 1/2 doz anvils around it got a big workout too . Gotta thank Jim for bringin' his gasser down for us ta look at / play with as well Dale Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratel10mm Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Mate I think Corin had it first? Although who knows where it came from? Certainly hit hard & fast. I spent all Tues & most of yesterday in bed, myself. Hope you & other victims got off more lightly. I also hope Nick puts up his vid's, they're much better than mine which cut out half way through the process for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corin Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Cheers fellas! Blame me for the cold! lol If it makes you feel any better I am still crook Anyhow Just want to say thanks to everyone for a great time. The boy and I learnt a lot, and came away with some fantastic ideas. I will definitely be staying longer if it is a go for next year, and I am thinking seriously about running a gas forge building workshop next time. If it is OK with Moony. If it goes ahead I will provide all materials at cost (including refractory, burner and gas components,) That might pull some numbers for you Dale. Maybe if there is enough demand we should not wait till next year and do something sooner, heck I am keen if you are. I took some pictures, here are a few...

Dale Russell Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Corin , maybe we could talk Phil / Forgemaster inta lettin' us hold a weekend at Newie , i'm sure he's got almost as much toy's .. i mean tools ect as MOONY does What say you Phil , can youse handle a bunch out us " hobbyist " playin' around in your shop for a weekend ? Dale Russell BTW Corin , thanks for " not " gettin' me in any of your pictures , wouldn't wanna make any 1 sick .. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corin Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If it is forge and burners we will be doing we can most probably use my shop here at work. Heaps of burners to play with, Plasma cutter and Mig and any amount of cleaned out gas cylinders of all shapes and sizes to use as forge bodies. All gas equipment available including custom hoses. Western Sydney (Auburn). Nothing for forging though, so if its forging your want to do, Phil's will be better. No worries re the photo's as I was mostly taking pictures of people working I somehow missed you..... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
