I can personally vouch for the quality of this class! John's technique for making cabinets is simple and rock solid. Totally worth the time+$ if you've ever wanted to make a cabinet.

Depending on the time of year, I may have an interest. Depends on my woodworking budget then! (yes, I have a budget)

Great to hear the school is open for business. I certainly enjoyed all the classes I took and learned a lot as well. I would love to see you teach on on the use of chiesels and handplans. I feel like someone with expereince guiding through this process with a student would be greatly beneficial over the trial and error method I have been trying.

Nice, a school within striking distance with hours I can actually make! I would be interested in any classes you end up having. Unfortunately, with all the tool purchases lately, and the decision to go to IWF (more $$ for hotels and tools), it will probably be towards the end of this year into next that I would be able to afford it again.

But please keep us in the loop as you decide to offer classes. :wsmile:

I can vouch for the merits of this class -- I took it 2 years ago and it is a very good session. John's methods are excellent and his teaching's pretty good, too! Well worth the money!

I'd like to run this class sometime in October or early November. This will probably be the only other class offered as I'm preparing my house for sale now. Given the market conditions I know it will take a while to sell, but I hope by next year to have sold the house and began construction of the new JSRWoodworking.

Thanks,

John
