I'd like to echo that as well Jonathan, my deepest sympathies to your wife and you. Take care now.

TinkyPete · Nov 11, 2010

Sorry to hear about the Family, Jonathan D thoughts go out to you and yours. please pass on my condolences.

Unfortunately as I am on duty on Sunday morning it will be a shortened meet for me, only the Friday night and Saturday day, going to have to head back on Saturday night.

JonathanD · Nov 11, 2010

Thankyou very much folks. It really is appreciated. Now, all posts after this should be filled with good cheer and happy thoughts. And someone take pics please.

Istvan · Nov 11, 2010

Can I arrive around 12:00 tomorrow?

That's a bit too early - because of the weather* I'll say arrive from 3pm onwards for this one.

* And because the weather is also causing early dusks.

First piece is almost finished - it's a usable prototype .

Which works quite nicely - hopefully it'll be cold this w/e :hatscarf:

decorum said:
Now for the shot glasses and thumb mugs .

Well, the thumb mugs aren't quite thumb mugs - I reckon that they would come under the term 'Beaker Thingie'

. The pattern for the shot sized thingies worked quite niclely.

I have at the moment:
A working demo model 'Shot Thingie'*,
EDIT: Six sellable 'Shot Thingies'
Three sellable 'Beaker Thingies'

I'm in the process of sorting two more 'Shot Thingies' - now done and added to the list above

.

All 'Thingies' are hot dip beeswaxed and have been tested for leaks

Post some piccies of them after the meet please, I'm intrigued.

Twocoals · Nov 12, 2010

Sorry folks.
I'm fairly sure I'm not going to make it.
Wife went for day surgery on Wed but is not being discharged until this morning because of complications.
Looking after her combined with daughter having lots of fits at the moment means I can't get away.
I was looking forward to my first meet :-(

Twodogs · Nov 12, 2010

Back from yet another great meet at Rough Close

A special thanks to Phil (Decorum) for 'facilitating' the meet as usual and everyone who went and made is such an enjoyable time. Istvan, your goulash was delicious and I'd like to have the recipe if you'd care to share it

It was good seeing old and new faces from the forum. Sorry Johnathan, no pics from me this time as I forgot to charge my camera
