Hi Ron,
You really touched on something that stands out to me. I hope people are not
showing their work because they feel it's not up to par with our so called
experts. We are all hear to learn and there is not a single person in this
group that would shoot down anyone's work. I want this group to grow and it's
been like pulling teeth to get the 250+ members to contribute. So every little
project that gets posted means the world to me and probably many others. It's
just nice to hear it from someone other than me, Curt or Bill so thank you for
your post.
Face to face meetings are so much fun. Especially when you create something
and not just talk about the machine. I don't think we could ever get a
convention going but how cool would that be! Get 50+ members in a shop for 3
or 4 days of play time. Who knows what would come out of that. I want this
group to be a virtual meeting place and inspire people. I know it has in the
past and I hope it continues in the future.
-Tim

Hey Bill,
Don't underestimate your efforts, it seems to be an excellent ornament to me
and a fun project for any of us to attempt. I know how you may feel about your
ability and how it may be received by the legacy group, I"ve been there buddy
and found that the guys are anxious to see their contempory's efforts and
really appreciate the info received. We are a group of friends and I've decided
to approach them as I would a group of guys I knew from a local bar, friendly,
interested, and really keen to learn from a friend's experience. I now feel
keen to share my experiences with my friends and get their feedback, as I know
it is not just critical but supportive. At some time in the future it would be
really great for us to get together at some venue that minimises the costs to
us all, but until then lets all be open and just be supportive, I really look
forward to seeing some of the guys face to face.
Best wishes to you all for a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Ron.

a while ago Tim posted that we should do another Christmas ornament this
year.
well I been fooling around with templates and cutting from the side with
small bits with my revo so this might qualify
I found a pic of this strange looking ornament so I had a go at making it
on the legacy and to make it even harder I tried it using a long series 1/8
spiral bit I found in a shop over here. the success was not as good as I had
hoped for and I had a quite a bit of dermal and file work and a repair to one
of the little posts. its a bit rough but you can get the idea if I ever did
another it might come out better anyway this is it
many small passes and rotating it 4 times for each side I came up with
this. the wood is flame elder sorry I didn't take any pics during machining as
I didn't think it would work out at all
