OK...
We've set a Date 2/11/06
We've started the contest
We've rented the Hall
We've been working on JohnR to secure the prizes :smash:


NOW we need stuff from you.

We need some people to volunteer... yes volunteer to :) to do some demostrations on Airbrushing....
so we need
-Airbrush(es)
-Compressor (Throw Timber)
-Spray Booth (portable)
-Paint
-Primed Lure Bodies

I'd also like to see some demos on tricks, jigs etc that you guys use to make your hobby easier. I know mac, Tagger, Capesams all have some cool jigs and tricks they use... I'd love to put a presentation together on that... if you have ideas please pm me. :boots:

For that we'd probably need...
-Lathe
-Drill Press
-Table Saw
-Band Saw
-Belt Sander
-Tarp
-Shop Vac
-A dust collector???

And of course I'd love to see the collections of Capesams, Flap and AdamR and if you guys want to collaborate to do a presentation on the chronolgy and evolution of surf plugs that would be great. ;)

Also...
We need food, utensils, drinks, cups, coffee napkins and perhaps a few rolls of paper towels.

PLEASE don;t be shy about volunteering your stuff.. we need it to make this thing interesting. PLease list what you can bring here.

Thanks!
-Dave

I will bring:

1 case Diet Coke
1 case bottled water
a large pkg heavy duty paper plates
large pkg paper napkins
large pkg utensils

i'll try to bring my duster downdraft 3000.
i gotta see if i can fit it in the sloburban?
3000 cfm portable dust/spray sucker. 4 stage filters ,, does something like 98% of all voc's..
that will take care of everything but the kilbasa and chili..

if not i'll have a makeshift booth, with pre-dust/spray,, and carbon filters..:boots:

Put me down for some cookies and the paper towels..

Dave,
Most of my tools are small and somewhat mobile.

I've got a delta midi lathe, it's not mounted or on a stand as it just sits on my worktable, so I could throw it in the truck pretty easily. It only has the centers it came with as I just got it and haven't upgraded it at all yet, and my chisels are kind of low end (just the buck bros, which don't hold an edge for very long but work ok)..

I've got a 10" craftsmen drill press, I could bring it along and the jigs I use on that.

Let me know as far as the tools go. I'm sure a lot of the guys here have better setups than I do....

i'll bring something along to eat, Also if you need help setting up I'd be glad to help out. I've already got clearance for the whole day... :humpty: Thanks for putting this together, I know its a lot of work
-Dave

Excellent!

FFreak - that would be awesome either way. Thanks!
DJiggin - Check Pms whatever you can bring would be great.

OK what else you guys got??

I'll bring a dust collector :as:

I'll bring my tying stuff. Will do bucktails like the past two years...

Of course I am going to bring some plugs to show. Workin' on some sort of theme, don't have any idea what it will be yet though.

I talked last year and would like to hear someone else blab. Would be great to hear Capesams do an Atom plug thingie, say from wooden to the sixties?

Maybe we could get VB to do a Floyd Roman history lesson.

I am bringing the usual double batch of Kielbasa, beans and onions mix. ( last year I ate the veggie dip while I watched everyone else "tank up" on methane):usd:

Oh yeah, maybe if everyone is nice we can get Numbskull to do a "Banana" demo.

Lastly, is NJ tackle, Salty and MikeCC coming and will they have "parts"?:huh:

Someone should invite the liberty cedar folks!

I say we bring in a keg ><> ><>

You would say that . You Irish.................. never mind.

I say we bring in a keg ><> ><>

Petah... I have a Very Special beer I am bringin just for you

This would be cool.

They have both volunteered to bring their stuff for show and tell but respectively declined to give a formal presentation. The only presentation I have nailed down is Numbskull doing a plug carving demo. We will have several people painting throughout the day but it will be on a "watch if you want to" basis not a formal presentation. We'd still love to see a few people step forward to do demos on anything related to plug building or plug fishing. Anyone who wants to paint a few plugs should contact me as well.

-Dave

Dave,
I'll throw my grinder and a few tools in the van. If anyone is interested, I'll show a little sharpening in the morning.

FP - That would be great.

We have a demo by Steelhead nailed down now too.

Tools:
Dust Collector - Canalman
Spray booth - FFreak
Lathe and press - DJiggin
Band Saw - Tagger
Grinder and asst tools - Fishpart

Can someone bring a shop vac??
I think that's a good start for tools, I can also bring my chisels I have a nice sharp set that never gets used anymore :rolleyes:

-Dave

Can I get a few volunteers to turn some wood? Same deal as the painting just watch if you want to...

Anyone else feel like lending a hand in the painting dept?

We also need airbrushes and paints. Vic said he'd bring his compressor, so we need a few brushes. I'll throw some paint.

-Dave

Dave I can bring a shop vac if needed.

I'll turn some bodies. (sealed,weighted and primed) Is FF going to do some painting? :hee:

MAC - yep FFreak will be painting.

Paul - Shop vac would be great.

i can't bring my booth too big anyways.
someone else said they might bring there's?
i got filters if we need them.

you want me to bring small paint booth (postedonJPI) let me know .. don't know if its Freak worthy .. gutta have a window too ..

thanks tagger, we might need it if I can't come up with something else.
I'll let you know

gonna have any raffles? if so i'll donate some pluggage.

This will be the first one I have attended. Is there any interest in seeing some old plugs at plugfest or do you concentrate on building new stuff etc.
I have some nice old ones that were my grandfathers. If I get a chance I could throw a small display together.

Looks like a fun time.

Eric

I can throw my homemade duplicator in the truck in case anyone wants some ideas for building one.

Paul please do, can never get enough of it, hopefully you can give us a practical demonstration. Each time I use mine I seem to get it to grab the stock.

Is N J Tackle GONNA GET LOST THIS YEAR? is it that TOXIC IN NJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
LINK SR:sleeps:

Probably won't be able to do a demo because it only fits my prehistoric lathe, but can probably give you a pointer or two. Think wrist curls.:gu: You are going to need strong wrist's. I also will have cutting tool for the homemade dup. guys. that is a marked improvment to anything you are using now.:kewl:

Ed, bring it if you can
lots of us need help learning how to sharpen
I'll bring my dull tools

Hey does anyone have a full face shield they can bring that who ever is doing the turning can wear?

I wear a respirator and safety glasses when I turn and I can bring them but i'd be more comfortable if whoever was doing the turning had a face shield. My glasses are pretty scratched up and I need to get new ones...

mine is already packed
