Re: Echuca 7th & 8th September 2013

You need an old dog for a hard road,and leave the pussiecats on the footpath

Have to get the gates & a tarp for the old 34ft er & do some practise runs :-[

Steveb
Be able to throw a tarp over the Commodore Hilton (You and Paris) : : :

Gday Stevo..
Will there be provision within the tarping 'contest' for teaching some of those that are interested, in learning how to tie a knot 'correctly'?
There are a few young blokes down this way that have been keen to learn..
After all it is another part of our craft that needs to be handed down..

Thanks again to the organisers for staging this event once more.. Good work [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

PS...how many days in a week ol fella...C'mon can't have Slasha gearing up too early..

Chocs, Would be happy to give a demo before the event.Even if the old frame is rusty.At least they would get an idea of what is needed.All I need is someone to get up and run the tarp out..............Worked with a guy in Albury many years ago.always said he was scared of hights and got someone else to roll out his cap

Regards, Buc.

Tip off Freight these days Chocs

Teaching Young blokes how to do ropes
Mate I say that is a great Idea, Maybe some of us older blokes could take turns in teaching
You better get practicing Chocs
Tautliner and gloves? hmm had neither when I started, all ropes were hemp and you hated getting new ones.

Cheers

Slasha

OK Slasha,....Hemp ropes.are you going to do running splices,back splices,turks heads and all that vintage stuff.Leave the knots to Chocs,and i'll roll the cap.Good idea???

Steveb :'( :'(
Splicing was one of those chores which was only done by necessity. A man of your experience should be good at teaching this forgotten art

Cheers

Slasha
