Sorry Dyno, not me!

.

As things stand at the moment (1.00 P.M. Thursday), everyone that has signed is still expected here over the weekend.

All's O.K. at this end, hopefully the weather will give us a break, as it will make parking a bit simpler.

Sorry Barry - you have PM - the other half has spoken and I'm not allowed ANOTHER (according to her!) night away at the moment - have fun boys and girls and I'll send my Macmillan money to Barry anyway

Girls Really: that's news to me .

Thanks for the P.M. Phillip, I've mailed next-in-line (Andrew Ish).

If he can't make it, then Dyno, you'll be next up!

[Barry]

Just had a chat to Andrew, and he can't make this weekend, so Dyno: you have mail .

If I can't get someone for Sat. it's no problem: just means more fruitcake for the rest of us .

[Dyno Soar]

[Barry]

Good man: I'll P.M. you the info that I sent to the others B4.

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!

There's something strange going on in deepest Sussex, its the DDK WELDERS

A great day, fantastic teacher! thanks Barry

Thanks for the photos Mike - I've got them on a slideshow now - look great.

Thanks a million for the day Barry - I really really enjoyed it. I may not have the space at the moment to follow it through (garage full of woodworking stuff and very combustible wood) but I will definately take it further. I was totally amazed at what you can do with metal, a hammer, and an old slapper

A Great bunch of people and it was really nice meeting you all

I've told Suzanne I'm going to do some metal sculpture - that worked and she's quite happy(?) about the welding idea. I've just got to sell the woodworking tool and make the garage less of a fire hazard.

I had an absolutly brilliant day, Very big thanks to Barry for letting us in and playing with his tools.
I tried to soak in as much info as possible and already I have been pricing up my next order from frost so I can do some more practicing. I never knew that some of the shapes and curves are so easy to re-create with only a set of hammers and an old slapper!

Also very nice to meet some like minded DDKer's and put faces to the names.

And the best bit, it's all for charity!

10/10 top marks!

[Bootsy]

Sounds like you had a great day and those pictures are superb!

Just got back from todays session

Started off with an awesome drive down in the sunshine in the 914.

I had a feeling this would be unmissable, and how right I was. A truly fantastic & well organised day, I feel so much more confident in tackling this kind of stuff myself now.

An invaluable education from our top man Barry. A massive thank you for organising this... now to order some tooling

Barry,
Thanks very much for an excellent day out!Not sure that I will ever be able to an old slapper in the face now i know what they do when they are polished!

Thanks for a brilliant day - very informative. You have unravelled the mystery surrounding welding & metal fabrication.

It is truly amazing what a skilled hand can do with £25 of tools and an old slapper

My wife was not so impressed with my souvenir, but I am very proud of my convex flange!

Great to meet other DDKers too.
Now I need to clear the garage and get tooled up.
