Chili, cheese dip and spinning tops

[Mike Davis]

Several of us are getting together at my place for Chili, cheeze dip, other foods and some time in the shop turning tops.

Everyone is invited!

This Thursday, 10 am to 6 or later if we decide to build a bonfire

The tops can be donated to charity if you so desire. Most of mine will be.

There will be my lathe and a mini lathe to work on, bring another lathe if you can. Or just come for the food, fun and discussions.

I'll be sending directions and phone number Wednesday.

You will show me how to make tops???? I am considering this Mike, you are a great teacher, but it is 2 hours. :dontknow:

Re: What did we decide?

I don't think we ever reached a firm decision, but here's what I'm up for. Either Thursday or Friday (22nd or 23rd) is good for me. Lunch or dinner, afternoon or evening, will work too. If we're gonna eat, I might even be able to talk my favorite wife into making her delicious banana pudding. :icon_cheers

Like Berta, I wouldn't mind watching you make a few of those tops. Who knows, I might even get motivated to use that spinny thing in my shop. :gar-La;

And thanks for offering to host this, Mike. :icon_thum

I can't make Thursday or Friday unfortunately. I've got practice on Thursday and the show(Church Service) on Friday night.

Kevin, you are welcome anytime next week, I'll be working in the shop all week. I'll be happy to stop and show you around the shop, grounds, kitchen and make whatever... If you come Wednesday we can start some test batches of the chili.

So, Thursday suits everyone else?

Thanks... That might work in the schedule. I talk to the wife and make sure we don't have anything happening that day and let you know. I'm all for being a chili test subject. :gar-Bi

FTR I'm also planning an old fashioned chicken stew sometime in January. Cooking over an open fire.

Be thinking about that as it will be an all day affair. Probably on a Saturday

Re: What did we decide?

At this point Thursday or Friday will work for me and Sat in Jan.

Re: What did we decide?

Does anybody have a mini lathe or a small lathe we can use? I'd like to make a few dozen tops for charity while the chili cooks.

 

[Berta]

Re: What did we decide?

I have the 12" mini lathe by Craftsman I can bring.

 

[Mike Davis]

Re: What did we decide?

Great! I'll make some room on a table for it.

 

[Bill Clemmons]

Re: What did we decide?

So we're definitely set for Thursday? What time? Do you want us to bring something? LOML has agreed to make banana pudding, if that works for everyone.

[Mike Davis]

Re: What did we decide?

Yes, Thursday. I will start the chili at 10 am it takes a couple hours of simmering and I'll make some chili cheese dip, I already have corn chips and Doritos. I have everything for the chili except a shoulder roast which I'll pick up Wednesday.


The Famous Pudding will be received with gratitude and great fanfare!

Somebody can bring sodas and gee anybody can bring anything they want.

I'll show how I make some tops and we can talk about anything that interests the group. Maybe plan the January thing.

I read it may be raining, I hope the shop doesn't get too crowded. We can move some stuff out to the awning if we need to.
