Great to hear another gathering in the making gents.
Looking forward to meeting you Mikael, and maybe trade a razor or two :)
Beware of the Aussie summer heat mate, it gets quite hot here into the high 30's to low 40's Celcius
Stay safe and will see you when the day arrives.
Woo hoo, cheers Ricky!Thanks for the heads up re heat, low 40:s is a bit much for me, but I guess you have to exceed in the lost art of chill, when those days go by. We'll buy Aussie sunblock and stay low, the warmest days.
It's going to be great! :D
I've no problem with Andrews suggestion, please chim in if you want to work on wood too, I don't mind, really (we've a car and it's no problem for me to use it). "Our" house is located in the Sandgate village and Andrews's located closer to the city ... As for now: the 10th of January in Sandgate village (is the evening a good idea, or the afternoon or morning (coolest time I guess)).
Cheers for the kind offer AndrewQuote:

See you and the rest of the group there :)
I talked (well, PMed) with Andrew some and I think we'll move the meet up to his place. It gives more option, is closer to town and the oportunity to drool over his collection :D
So the 10th of January at Andrews place it is :D :D
For anyone wanting to come, just PM me and I can send you my address and phone number. All are welcome.
I will leave it to Mikael to set the time, as I am available anytime that day... unless any other members have certain preferences.
Any one who loves the teutonic titwillow can't be all bad, throw a shrimp and the bawby for me even tho I can't be there.
Mikael, 'Very good to see you. 'Hope you've been very well. I'm jealous about your trip & hope its wonderful. 'Seems just a great bunch down there.
Cheers R!! :D It would be great if you came aswell, we've rooom in our house if you can make it ... We'll have a blast and I'm really looking forward to this trip a lot (there was only 5 hours of sun in Stockholm in November, _five_ hours :( ).
Well, it doesn't really matter... I dunno if the heat should/can have any impact on the time, but maybe after lunch, around 1ish... If someone wants to start earlier/later I'm more than open to change the time!Quote:

Okay, I've picked out around 20 blades now and packed them up in a roll. I've cleaned and sanded most and polished them, but not honed any and one or two are NOS (I think, maybe someone has tried/shaved once or twice and then put it away) ... Game on my dear Bruces! :D
