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

[Gwhat]

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?

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.

Yes! Please!

03:00 on a wet Monday would be ok (only kidding) - better make that 05:00http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif

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 possibilitieshttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

Cheers!

PS How are the "bees"?

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

[meerkat]

Yup I'd be interested 2

[Optimark]

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.

[I_wanna_Shed]

I'm interested...... if one was ever to be held in Sydney!

Hi All

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

Ph: 07 3376 8520
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

[Simomatra]

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

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'

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.

G'day Gwhat,

Excellent news!

I'm still very interested.

Cheers!

www.woodpeckers.com.au

Holmesglen TAFE is where we have the Triton Club meetings. Good venue, large workshop and class rooms. Could be worth considering?

[Grunt]

Make it someplace central and I'll go. The outer east foothills are not central.

I think you'd better get a new Melways mate. Holmesglen isn't outer east ;)

Looks as though Richard can do the course on either the 17th of September or October 1st (Saturdays).

Venue still being resolved .............as they say...... stay tuned

Yeah, what would I know? It just sounds that way. Chadstone is inner outer east. :D

[Gwhat]

I didn't think organising this would have been so time consuming, but it's now almost set up as follows;

Date November 12th
Time 10.00am to 4.00pm
Venue Homlmesglen TAFE, Batesford Rd, Chadston, Vic.
Cost T.B.A. now the venue is arranged we will revisit the numbers and advise the cost next week.

The main purpose of this post is to let everyone who's interested the date so they can block out that Saturday in their diaries.

Thanks Gwhat!

Your efforts are much appreciated.

[Tiger]

Interested as well. Routers are fairly broad and recognised as the most versatile woodworking tool, what areas would be covered?

[Soren]

certainly interested as well, and 12th Nov sounds good :)

[Paddy]

count me in.. 12th sounds good

‘The router is a remarkably versatile woodworking tool, capable of so much more than just making grooves for shelves and moulding table edges. I have been a professional woodworker designing and making to commission for over 20 years; it’s a long time since I made a piece without significant use of the router. I now own seven of them.’

Spend a day with Richard, learning the tricks, the techniques and most importantly the safety pointers associated with this fantastic tool. Bring your camera take away ideas, jig designs and work concepts that have kept Richard Vaughan at the forefront of his profession for over 20 years.

When? Saturday 12th November 2005 - 10.00am to 4.00pm
Where? Holmesglen TAFE, Batesford Road, Chadstone, Victoria
How much? $160.00 – existing Pro Woodpeckers customers $130.00 Limited to 25 attendees
What do I get? Lunch, morning and afternoon tea will be provided as will a wealth of valuable information, to take your woodworking to the next level
How do I book? Log on to www.woodpeckers.com.au call 03 9776 1521 or fax the application on the reverse to 03 9776 0667, Pre-registration is essential, no registration on the day.

I would be interested if you come to Sydney.

Can't help with venue ideas though ...

[Template Tom]

From my experience those who may have purchased a router I strongly recommend that you do attend a router course.

I have run such courses for a number of years here in Western Australia and I am still amazed at the number of router users who are stll not getting the full potential from their router

Some may have found difficulties booking for the 1 day Router Course via our website. The program charges $15 FOR FREIGHT on top of the course fees, we can't change the program but what we do is to simply only process Credit Cards for $130 or $160 as is applicable.

The course is filling fast so BOOK Now if you're interested, we can't accept bookings on the day (12th November).

G'day all,

The response to the course has been good, but..... it still hasn't filled completely, response from the WWW show was great with a lot of brochures given out.

So as to ensure Forum Members don't miss out we're happy to take a booking (and $50 deposit) for the course providing payment is finalised by November 4th.

Call us on 03 9776 1521 to book or send your details and $50 to:
Professional Woodpeckers Supplies,
PO Box 10, Patterson Lakes 3197.

If the response to Richard Vaughans demonstrations at the show is anything to go by, the benefit of attending will be enormous.

Excellent! I can't wait! I'll be there for sure. I use my router as a hand held and in the Triton setup, using what I would call 'basic skills'. I'm always keen to pick up more knowledge on it!

From what I learned, Richard's skills are high indeed, both from what he makes, and his ability to impart some of that precious knowledge.

It's a "listen and learn" format - doesn't turn on a "noisy bugger", even once:D , but he certainly does pass across some very valuable lessons.

Cheers!
