Jim I suggested to Dave that if he joined he could talk to Yorkie direct either through the forum or through the pm section.
If he did join he could let us know when his demo days are on and his special discount days also just as he does on facebook!!:thumbs:

I love the idea of doing a demo at Turner's Retreat. I always shop there when I come over so that would work for me perfectly. Let me know if you can get something hooked up and I'll bring my stuff with me; sounds like fun.

Funny you should mention that, I just got through building a pressure pot for casting and got some Alumilite. I plan on doing some soon but I'm sure I'll be crap at it until I get it figured out. I did a lot of research on the pressure pot and found a used Binks pressure pot was best. It cost about 25 pounds to buy the fittings. I have the instructions for building a pressure pot for casting and can bring those with me if you'd like. My plan is to do a lot of clear casting.

I have just had a reply from Dave Green at Turners Retreat and he would be prepared to let Yorkie have a demo on a Saturday but he would like to have a bit more info. such as how long the demo would be and probably a bit more on dates.
He says he is always on the lookout for new faces!!! He will try and look at our forum but says he is very busy at the moment. No doubt with the puchase of Craft Supplies.
Yorkie if you can give any info. you can then I will pass it on.
Regards

Terry:thumbs:

Saturday during the morning or day would work on April 26th. I would bring a raw blank, ready for CA, and a blank I already CA'd and is ready to polish. I don't see it taking more than 30 minutes total, maybe an hour with questions and chit chat. I need a lathe, preferably a small lathe but a full size will work. I need a small bowl for water and the rest I'll bring myself. Including the blanks, CA, polish, sandpaper, abranet, paper towels, accelerant etc. Will there be a dust extractor on the lathe for any fumes?

Also, I am doing a demonstration on CA finish at Birstall woodturning club on Wednesday May 1st in the evening.

Just thinking Yorkie do you want to give me your real name because I know that Dave will want to advertise this to drag as many punters in as possible.
If you want to keep your name off the forum for whatever reason you can always use the private message section.

Sounds great. My name is Stephen Naylor. I was born and raised in Rotherham and moved to California in 1995 and then to North Carolina in 2003. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Do a lot of people do CA finish in the UK?
