Hope you're up to joining us soon mate, there's always a welcome round the fire, but I can't guarantee the safety of your sausages if your sat anywhere near me.

[widu13]

Can now only make Sat night. We'll be there a few hours before Si gets up- so about 10am then I'll bring along a new bloke with me.

[jackcbr]

Oh I see, trying to avoid me now

Seem to be doing ok so far

Actually, I'm scared you may hurt me if you've had a bad day at work

[Graywolf]

Jack,I wouldnt be to worried about the safety of my sausages,if I was you I would be worried about the amount of times you will be counting your fingers to make sure you still had them.

Youve obviously not seen me eat sausages. Mind you, if you blink, you'll miss it.

Any day at work is a bad day. But sausages help lift my mood. Going for something a bit spicy this time.

Andy you'll be in time to bring me a nice cup of tea in bed then! Really struggling with this computer at the moment, I put a post up a couple of days ago about what to bring and it's disappeared or never posted, so here goes again. For the leather working group could everyone where possible please bring some card and a pencil to make a template, some disposable gloves for dying and some clamps if you have them. For the knife sharpening could everyone bring a pack of mixed (coarse, med and fine) wet and dry (not sandpaper), three pieces of board/ply/mdf about 4 ins by 9 ins, some double sided sticky tape and if you have one an old leather belt to use as a strop. I'll demo the waterstones too. Sorry this is all a bit late going up but as I say i thought I posted this a couple of days ago!

[jackcbr]

I can pick up some packs of wet n dry from Screwfix if people can't get hold of any in time. Just to clarify, what grits for course, medium and fine. They seem to range from 120 to 1200. Was thinking 120, 240, 600? Might have some glove too down the shed.

[Simon H]

Yeah that will do fine Jack, I think they even sell a mixed pack which is fine too. I was going to get all this in myself but I'm carless for now. Cheers mate.

[Simon H]

Oh yeah, and can the leatherworkers please bring an old sponge or scourer for dying with, rinsed out so as to be grease free. Cheers

[jackcbr]

Speaking of which, let me know when and where you need picking up mate and I'll come and get you

[Simon H]

Another missing post. Sorry jack I replied earlier mate, no need for a lift now but thanks anyway, i'm going to nick Iona's car on Friday so I can get there early and set up. Cheers mate.

No probs mate, see you there. I'll pick up some wet and dry and see if I can't liberate some card from work as well.

Can you suggest grades?, if I follow the waterstons that's something like 600/800, 1200 and 6000, but I don't remember that being normal grades for sandpaper or even if the same scale applies.

[Simon H]

Swallow, details for W&D are all as per posts 289 and 290. Loosely around the grades mentioned are fine. Just get a pack of mixed fine, med and coarse and you can't go wrong.

Doh! Hectic Day.

[Hugo]

Started packing a couple of hours ago, Mrs Hugo asks what the rush was, and I say I want to get there early, then she tells me, it's Thursday your going tomorrow.
Duh, it's an age thing, I hope.
Packed the scotch augers for those who ordered, and your knife Simon.
See you tomorrow peeps.

[Simon H]

Cheers Hugo! I'm aiming to be there about half ten so I can get my tarp up before it gets too hot.

Hi guys,

The weather is stunning here in London (and probably in Sussex too ), can't wait to be friday !
I'll be coming with my missus freshly arrived from Paris (she expect a warm galant British welcome up to its reputation ) and I just wondered if any of you know if there will still be some taxis at East Grinstead train station ?

We will be arriving this friday approximately around 9:45 / 10pm ish and I don't want to pitch my tent in the parking . If anyone had infos about that , thanks a million !
