Just one of the Planned activities is Casting With Amulilite, We will have at least 2 Presure pots and 5-6 molds availible. Now is your chance to cast!! All are Welcome....
Remember NOLAN IS ATTENDING....HE TRAVELS WITH BURL.....Bring your checkbook!!!
 
I'll be bringing a fellow turner and hope that everyone can make it that can. I think we all had a blast last time and I look forward to seeing more demos. My wallet will be full for Nolan! Bring blanks to trade, I will be bringing a collection of inks for those in need.[8D]
 
Did I mention that NOLAN TRAVELS WITH BURLS????? Put in the Overtime NOW!!!
Mark your calendars! Be there! FLY IN from nearby states!!! NOLAN is Attending!
 
Jay, I missed the last one because I didn't know anything about it. I'll be there this time if you have it on Saturday. Wife and I are leaving Sunday, May 18, for the Penturners Rendezvous in Orem, UT on Wednesday, May 21, so Saturday will be fine.

Hey Guys! I have it on my calendar. I'm hoping that maybe I'll be able to get up there with y'all again. I'd really like to see another demo of Greg's CA finish. I'm still working on getting it right. Lacquer is nice but not very durable when compared to CA.

I'm getting a new knee in a few weeks, and I've been told I'll be down and out for at least three months. I heal up much faster than most so I'm hoping that I'll be hobbling around sooner than expected. If at all possible, I'll be up your way.
 
Sounds like this BBANC will be even better than last time.

For those who are coming for the first time, we will have some fun turning, casting, eating (I have BBQ and am not afraid to use it) and generally having a good time.

We start around 9:30am or so and have open entry/exit times up until about 4:30pm. Show up whenever is convenient for you!

Last time I BBQ'd up some Brahts and burgers and regular hot dogs for the kids. If there is anything else you would like to have please feel free to bring it. We generally have sodas but, again, if there is specifics you would like to have....

If you want to bring beer and/or wine that is OK too (but I may ban you from power tools for safety reasons ;)).

Bring foldable chairs or buckets because it looks like we may have 2x the numbers we had last time and I didn't have enough seating then. Also bring things to show off (pens, jigs, whatever); wood/stuff to trade/sell; money to spend (Nolan's burls are awesome stuff); and generally whatever makes you happy.



If you will be coming via Hwy 580 take the Santa Rita Rd exit and head south (the opposite direction is actually Tasajara).

2) Go 4 or 5 lights and turn left onto Stoneridge Drive.

3) At the second light turn right onto Kamp.

4) At the first stop sign turn left onto Cameron Ave.

5) We are the last house on the left at the corner of Cameron Ave and Martin Ave.
[address deleted for safety reasons]


If you are coming from Hwy 680 take the Stoneridge Exit East. Keep going until you cross Santa Rita Rd and then follow the directions above starting at step 3.



See you all then!!

Johnathan,

I was arguing with myself about it. I agree and have deleted it from my post. Can you take it out of your quoted text in your post?

For those that are coming, Navigate to the Intersection of Cameron and Martin in Pleasanton and look for the white auto-service trailer in the driveway.

Thanks

Please let us know if there is anything you would like to do/see done at the gathering. We have many very talented folks coming and I'm sure that we can arrange to demonstrate just about anything. Just let us know!!

I am out now.. Just bought my son tickets to the Monster Jam in Salinas for that day. It is something we do every year.. I didn't put the dates together until now.. Sorry.. Missing another one..:(
 
Sure sure, Dan. I'm starting to take this personally. :(

Just Kidding, obviously. Sorry you can't make it! But I do understand; family and kids come first.

I think Jonathan should be required to bring some of that kringle he's bragging about, as admission to the party!!!!

You know that Kringle didn't last but a few hours! Not to copy Lou or anything but I've been thinking of making up some colored ink cartridge variety packs of Private Reserve. Let me know if I should bring some. I am still trying to fix my schedule to attend but there might be a chance that I will not be able to make it and I will be kicking myself! Hope to see everyone there and please drive safe.
 
Are their assignments being made for this? What demo's are going to take place and who's teaching them? Who's bringing what for the BBQ, etc.

Remember, everyone bring pens to display, perhaps we can organize some type of pen contest we can vote on (with prizes!:D)
 
demos at this point are Casting with alumilite and Greg's CA Finishing.
still waiting for other requests/suggestions. Nolan is bring wood/burls for sale, Iam sure that folks will bring stuff to trade, Im Expecting Every one to bring show and tell, Greg mentioned the menu would be like last time

If anyone has anything they think others would like to see or do, we will be happy to figure out how to fit it in. If we get lucky enough to have "too much to fill the day" then we can start parallel "tracks" of demos.

Last time I talked about doing a photography demo and we never got to it. Is there interest in it this time?

As for food, Kim, Jay, Dave and I will provide brats, burgers, hot dogs, maybe some grilled vegetables, maybe some jalepeno poppers (the recipes look wonderful but Kim and I have never done them before soooo..). Anything you want to bring to add to the list would be greatly appreciated by all. Kim just mentioned that she will be making a broccoli slaw (it is really good and really light).

I'm going to try to build a list of attendees so we know who all is coming and how many mouths we need to feed. I'll keep this list on MY first post (I can't do it on post #1 because Jay created that post). If you are coming please post up and let us know who and how many. Guests are obviously welcome too. Jay, your job to find out from the WoodCraft folks if/how many are coming.
