    Default 1 Day Router Course ----Interested????

    Under a different thread mention was made of the 1 day Router courses run in Brisbane by Richard Vaughan (regular contributor to Aust Wood Review and general router guru).

    Given the interest in that thread, the question is who would be interested in such a course in Melbourne? What day of the week is best - Saturday?

    If there is sufficient interest we will try to organise something, if possible getting Richard to come down and run it. We would arrange a venue and arrange lunch etc.

    Your thoughts please?

    Regards

    Definitely.

    My suggestion would be a Saturday. At the Triton Club, run a few excursions and found that if they were mid week, the turn out wasn't any where near as good as it was on the weekends. Great idea, if it gets some legs, i can mention it at the next Triton Club meeting next weekend. I'm sure some there would be interested.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Yes! Please!

    03:00 on a wet Monday would be ok (only kidding) - better make that 05:00

    Seriously, I would be very interested in that, and yes, a Saturday would be the most convenient.

    Cost is not a major factor, so long as it was within the ball-park of commercially run courses. Also, a hands-on rather than just lecture format would be preferable, but I am cognisant of public liability issues, so appreciate that such a format may not be practicable.

    Please advise us of the progress of this, or a PM or e-mail would be welcome.

    Thanks also for taking the time to investigate possibilities

    Cheers!

    PS How are the "bees"?

    Count me in. Flying machines and flying wood are starting to scare me.

    I would also be interested, Saturday or Sunday, with Saturday being the one of choice.

    Also, a long lead time to organise work and family commitments, would be appreciated.

    Hi All

    I attended the course in Bisbane and it was really good. Can recommend if Richard is the instructor

    Was speaking to Richard the other day on another subject and he was interested, when I told him of the other thread. You need to contact him

    email: [email protected]

    Richard will also be at the Canberra WWW show 2-4th September and continue on to the other shows as they happen

    Correction to my earlier post.

    Richard, as I said, was aware of the proposed course but should not be contacted directly I presume you should follow the follow the other posts.

    Great course enjoy

    Sam,

    To save Richard from getting spammed to death it would be good if you changed his email from what you have to something like 'REMOVErichardTHESTUFFvauhanINCAPITALS@netspaceTOAVOIDSPAMBOTS.net.au'

    Default Router Course Update

    Hi all

    With the response to date it looks very positive as far as getting a Melbourne course up and running.

    We're now looking at suitable dates with Richard and searching out a suitable venue. Still working on costs as well as the venue and date impacts on these. At this stage it will definitely be a Saturday and run from 10.00am to 4 ish?

    I will keep you informed.

    Regards
