Spilling the beans on the MakerMeetup!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Really well done mate! What a weekend! Vics Sketch Up.....classic 😂 Amazing how a lot of the crew travelled long distances to be there which is a testament as to how much l think the Maker community has grown 👍👍 Onwards and upwards l say 👍😁🇦🇺

[@woodfather]

Cheers Shane! You're right, even though people may be in the same State, certainly doesn't mean it's a short trip to the meetup, Australia's too bloody big sometimes. 😆 Looking forward to the next!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

@@woodfather Bring it on 👍

Super well said Mario, I cannot remember a time where I’ve had a constant smile on my dial for consecutive days 24 hours per day. These are special events that all shall saviour for a lifetime 🇦🇺🍻👍

[@woodfather]

That's spot on Dirk, something really good to look back on - and, look forward too. 👍

Great video, Mario. And yes, it's the community that makes it special. I had an absolute blast up in Sydney (even though the traffic gave me the shits), and I was so happy to finally meet the Sydney makers ( 1 special one in particular). Love the video. Oh, and thanks for going easy on me. 🤨🤣🤣🤣

[@woodfather]

i didn't think i did 😆 😉

[@Nedswoodworks]

Gee I wonder who that was…😂😂😂. Have you got the poster up in your workshop yet?? 😂😂😂

[@DownUnderWoodWorks]

Great video mate. You summarised the weekend perfectly. I’m lucky and honoured to call all of you friends. This maker community of ours is amazing and when we’re able to get together, it’s even better. I had an awesome weekend and enjoyed having you all over in the shop. Thinking about the next one already.

[@woodfather]

Was a great time, already looking forward to the next! I bet you were relieved I didn't give up your secret about how you told me you were the actor inside of the Humphrey B. Bear suit for 7 years in the 80's? Hah, imagine if that got out! 😉

[@Saw-IT]

Sorry to hear the Aussie woodworker show was postponed, but how cool to hang out at Vic's joint even if it was a death trap haha.

[@woodfather]

Yep, no complaints here, being able to check out a workshop that I've watched evolve for years on youtube was a super fun experience!

[@JoesWorkbench]

Awesome video, looks like a great weekend was had by all 👍🏻

[@woodfather]

Was a great weekend away Joe, catch you at the next one!

[@SujMenon]

Sound like you guys had great fun, enjoy 👍😁

[@woodfather]

It was great Suj, need more stuff like that! 👍

[@samsboringchannel]

Looked like a cracking time was had by all mate, i'd love to tag along one year, maybe if you have it somewhere warmer haha! Vic's bike looks amazing!

[@woodfather]

ahahaha, you know, Sydney was a good 10 degrees over Melbourne on that weekend I think, so no complaints by me! 😄

[@kustomcreations3541]

Great video and everyone mentioned are absolutely amazing people ❤️❤️❤️ even you Mario 😊😊😊

[@woodfather]

You only say that cos you don't know me 😆 hehe, but yep, great bunch!

[@FixitFingers]

Sorry I couldn't pop over, lucky I've visited Vic previously and seen the Chopper. I couldn't believe Ains NEVER checks her analytics... so I can confirm, it's just the way she is. Can't wait for the next one!

[@woodfather]

Yep, I thought she was playing dumb for a little bit when I asked her about it, but nope, just not on her radar. I think she's too busy deleting comments that begin with "SORRY LOVE BUT YOU'VE DONE THAT WRONG" 😆

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Nice one mate, great update

[@woodfather]

Cheers Harki, why didn't you come along? 22hrs in a plane too much to ask? 😄

[@LonghornWorkshop]

@@woodfather lol I have done one trip to Melbourne about 25 years ago, that’s a dang long trip. Maybe next year…😝

[@Nedswoodworks]

Bloody ripper, 7 of my favourite makers all in the one shop….alright 8…keep up the great reporting mate your killin it!! And I would love to see you throw out the challenge to build a bike like Vic…or can you build Vic’s bike???…… might gain traction if you did it….lol. Cheers 🍻

[@woodfather]

I'd love to make one, but I reckon I'd have the same problem that Vic does, once you build it, what do you do with it? 😆 There's only so much in the house for dust collectors lol

[@BKRcustommotorbikes]

Was a great meetup😁😁

[@woodfather]

hah, that sentence can be the 'shorts' version of this video 😆

[@BKRcustommotorbikes]

@@woodfather 🤣🤣

[@stevehedges1158]

Well done with the video I'm not sure about Collingwood supporters but I'll take you're word for it. Where's the blue's flag or poster you had in the shop at one stage especially now go the blues. Steve Tas

[@woodfather]

Ahahaha, I'm not sure about 'em either but we have to be accepting of all sorts of people in this day and age. 😆 I've got my Carlton 'antique' clock up in the workshop still, love it!

[@ReclaimDesign]

To hell with the consequences 🤣

[@woodfather]

I couldn't share real secrets or they'd kick me out the youtube fraternity! 😆
