Hi all,

Was told about this forum by another member. I am relatively new to pen turning so it's good to find a place to get help when needed. Been looking around and have learned quite a bit already about casting blanks as this is something I would like to try.

Peter / Mark my daughter in coming over to Australia at the start of next year for a couple of years, so may be able to get over from a holiday, always wanted to walk over the top of the Sydney bridge.

Like that idea I am 200 miles from Sydney in Canberra, I climbed unoficially in 1945 with two others attending a scout jamboree in Sydney, caught just near the summit gratefully, it was all very primitive then.

Adelaide is a beautiful city all be it really hot from time to time. I was born in Mt Gambier in the Sth East toward Melbourne and Adelaide was the the big smoke for my Dads generation from the country.

Welcome Colin, from another Fifer. I too am into casting, mostly tube in. You'll find that casting is all about learning from your mistakes. You will get lots of info, help and inspiration here though.

I am only 3,033 km from Sydney if you go the short way.:ciggrin:
How long would you come over for?
